RE: weed eater rc boat
so a weed wacker motor has more torque but less rpm right? and if i go 1/4 i can just cut the flex shaft thats already in the weed waker? then how would i put the prop on? and what prop? i want to use like a 15cc motor or lower

Oh yeah... Forgot abot that, oh well lol its a junk hull so if it runs cool, its not going to be a performer, maybe ill coat the i side but i dont want it to get to heavy,

RE: weed eater rc boat
There was one manufacturer who made thick ABS hulls but they flex too much.
Lots of luck on finding a 15cc or smaller gas engine as even the weedies really don't go less than 17cc and they're really weak performance-wise. MECOA/K&B had one but it's not cheap.
