RE: nitro vee
You should head on over to the nitro vee forums. There's a wealth of knowledge on there. Just read from page one. Everyone that's on that forum has modified they NV's to some extent, some of them being really extreme mods. Most modifications contain full detail, so it should be easy to follow.

Some essential mods:
-CHANGE THE PLASTIC U-JOINT! the white one connecting the driveshaft to the propshaft
-Change the prop
-Upgrade the water cooling lines
Once You've gotten the boat to run reliably, scrap the RTS system. If your boat runs reliably, you'll have no use for it since the only time you'd normally be "disabled" is when the boat flips over.
