Same hull and hardware except for the addition of trim tabs... in a weird place, too. It might have a bigger cable? The stuffing tube looks bigger in the pics.

nope! thats what electric did tho....

the flex cable goes inside the .187 teflon liner. then both will go inside the brass tube they will both spin around the 5/16" brass tubing.

Nice job with the brass tubing upgrade. Yeah, I just was seeing if I could do it really "cheap" with the teflon inside of teflon solution(I also happened to have the inside teflon piece sitting in my work shop). The brass tubing is the "correct" set up for sure. They both work, just looks better with the brass.

anywhere i can buy boats like that ?

Try the Stilleto which is a new boat coming out RTR this month. It was designed by Daren J. and should be a great boat. You can find it at horizonhobby.com. I think Steve may also be selling the boat here as well.

did some modding today....





you'll need:

.187 teflon liner http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...=oct-oc187t-24
5/16" brass tubing

insert .187 teflon liner inside the flex cable as shown above. using grease will help!
bend the brass tubing like shown above. measure twice cut once!
use silicone to seal up da brass tube against hull and solder brass tube to the strut holder.
the teflon liner and flex tube will spin together inside the brass tubing so grease it up.
did a few test runs and mod works flawless..no grease coming up!

any other tips to surge crusher ?

That is an old DPI tunnle hull, it is a 3.5cc in the pic but i might try to make it brushless. I do not think they make that specific one anymore and i have ran it once in the last 2 years but it is my best looking boat at the time! haha thanks for asking!

[xellion]

ok cool sound good, ill look into that, what kind of boat is that in your picture btw ?

[Jacked1]

On mine all you have to do to make the gap go away is push the prop forward because there is some extra room in the motor coupler for the shaft. So when the boat is running the prop is getting pushed forward and that makes the gap go away so for me there is no problem there. Then again i almost feel like mine is different in someway because i have had no water in my boat at all and no grease comming out of the tube into the boat.

[xellion]

Can i use bathroom silicon to seal the boat where the shaft is on the inside of the boat so it wont leak into the boat ?

[xellion]

Hello from norway :) just got a Surge Crusher today, adding a alu prop, and also bought some marine grease, my first RC boat since i had a kyosho 10 years ago.

Will also add the heatshrink fix for axle. Will have some pictures up.
