This is the new rudder I ordered today.

They're gonna be racing in the next video. The Red boat is going to out run the yellow by a little bit because of the larger prop I put on it. I drilled out the stock strut on it to fit a larger prop shaft and it has a little more kick in the turns for sure. That yellow boat is my brothers stock...

I got to test them out tonight and it took some time but we got the yellow boat running good and the red boat started to run better but it got dark.

The slipper clutch can't be adjusted. There's a notch cut out of the crankshaft for the flywheel and then you put the bell on, then the collet that holds the flex shaft and tighten it down tight. I didn't see any shims but I'd imagine you could use them to allow it to slip a little bit but the...

Yep. I increased the size of the drive shaft so I could use a larger prop but i didn't get the prop nuts or drive dogs for the new ones. The red boat has one but I don't won't to switch it to the other boats so I'm waiting for the ones I ordered. They do make universal drive dogs to convert to a...

Yep. It's the collet that holds the prop in place.

I made new servo trays out of lexan to replace the old wooden ones.

I'm waiting on a drive dog for the prop on the yellow boat with the new strut and the red one is going out this weekend.

This is the new strut/prop setup I am experimenting with on the Hydros. I moved the prop back about an inch and a half and it's behind the rudder so I'm very curious to see the effect of that in particular. The red boat has the original strut setup and the yellow boat has my creation.

I was thinking about adding black to the front. I have a better idea for the rear find and wing.

The boat was tied to the lights

Out of paint for today but I'm almost done.

That's funny you say that because the colors I chose were yellow and purple. The boat was already yellow! Hahaha oh well.. I'm still debating on the type of border I want between the two colors. The front will be yellow and the rear will be metallic purple. Good idea! Now I'm thinking it...

Primer is done and drying. Color scheme starts tomorrow

This was the repair before I slopped it up with crappy paint and then sanded her down. The repairs came out perfect!

I patched up the damage with a fiberglass patching kit. I slopped some poopy paint on after the repairs and I'm gonna fix it by repainting the boat with a different theme.

I'm using my old ipad 2 because my phone got wet a few days ago and i'm still waiting on the replacement. crappy photos!

It's a painted fiberglass composite hull. There's no wood. I have the epoxy and patches and was just looking more for techniques. I'll post up some photos of hiw i repair the hull :)

Thanks, man. it was USPS and i will contact them. I appreciate that.

Well the seller on Ebay said it was insured and that he'd contact the post office but its been a week and he hasnt got back to me.
