          Hi. First problem is a water-cooled ESC without water cooling.
          Motion replaced all the bad esc with new air-cooled ESC's. If you try to run it with that ESC it will fail in short order.
          The grease in the prop shafts is a little heavy. Replaced mine with Super Lube.
          I had to open up the stern of the boat. The area under the 40mm gun to gain access to the rudder linkages.
          It really needs a 3 cell lipo to get a good top speed out of it. It's pretty lethargic with the supplied 2 cell battery.

          The boat runs great with the original motors and props one you get the ESC straightened out.
