Hello everyone
Finally found dedicated RC boat forum %% I have so much question to ask so hopping you would be able to help me. I managed to find my self Tunnel Boat with all the gear and as I'm new to boats I had no idea what I was buying but it looked good on local boot sale, after searching the net found out it was Hobby King Hornet f1 with Turnigy 120a esc and brushless motor, after I done bath test ect. to make sure it works taken to local lake and after few min I managed to snap the flex shaft, getting hold of replacement from HB is impossible as they don't have it, so looking for ideas now, what can I do now??? I was reading about cutting flex shaft then soldering the ends ect. but not sure, also saw Pro Boat outboard from rc shop that I could get but don't want to spend that kind of money just yet as I only getting to rc boats.
Could this boat be changed to have the motor inside and buy rudder system?
Please let me know your advice's
Thanks
Ade

would I be able to convert this to rigid shaft by any chance

Graupner used to sell a flexi shaft kit but you would need to see if it would fit your boat I believe it came with rudder and steering gear I think it was called hydro drive and used to fit in a couple of there old kits Key west being one of them

Am not into fast boats but these guys in HK are, but be wary of claimed ESC ratings.
