I have had some ideas how to improve the seadrifter.
before I do
would anyone know the flex shaft size and motor shaft size. I think a hexflex couplign would be far better.
an octura x430 or 432. should make the boat run better.
polished the whole boat glass smooth :}

Hi mrbrushless,
Polishing the bottom of a fast boat doesn't make it faster, it causes drag.
Fast electrics have the running surfaces scuffed with 600 grid sandpaper (wet) so the surface is dull.
This causes a waterfilm to cling to the hull which acts as a lubricant, the pickup in speed and acceleration is noticable!
