You put it behind the prop blades, off to the side. If you put it behind the nut, you're putting it in what I refer to as a dead zone. In the area behind the nut, there isn't any water due to it all...

Sounds to me like he's pulling more amps than the batteries can handle. He may need to switch to a higher "C" rating.

That's one I can't answer as I don't really know. I guess that's why I run nitro and gas boats

We also use Corrosion X as an after run in nitro boats. Makes it a bit harder to start on the next initial run but it does keep the motor from corroding.

Actually, that might be a good way to test your ESC. If the heat does drop, then you know it's an ESC issue. As someone else said, you may also want to try a smaller prop and see if a lighter load...

I live roughly half way between Seattle and the Canadian border in western Washington. Just had a thought. Since you live in Illinois, that's IMPBA district 4. There may be a club close by that could...

That works, I see you figured it out. Everything looks good to me, other than the lack of a drive shaft and prop that we've already talked about. Mfr02 may see something that I don't so I'm going to...

The rudder shouldn't be the problem, unless the pick ups are much smaller combined than the one in the original rudder. Mfr02 was trying to help diagnose the problem, just like me. The problem is,...

A general rule of thumb is one shaft thickness between the drive dog and the end of the stuffing tube. 1/8" is probably too close, that is if it's a flex cable. You can assume, with a fair degree...

Okay, mfr02 mentioned the motor "load" as being a possible cause for the heating up. That has me wondering if it's a drive line issue? Have you greased the drive line after running? I know a drive...
