Thank you for your thumbs up and getting those lock tight Allen nuts out. I was trying and got fed up. Big thanks. And sneaky foam trick for greasing the flex cable.
No problem 👍
Adding heat to grub screws is an absolute MUST! I do it with my solding iron like you said. Takes about 60 seconds and saves you hours of frustration
It doesn't work for me, i cant unscrew...
As always, Thank you for so much wisdom and a plethora of great content! I have an Update on the Stinger 18" boat aswell! ive gotten the prop / strut angled better. Once it 'gets up' on the water it really moves on the octura 432, have yet to try the 430 prop. And a bigger motor system is definitely next as it goes into thermal protection and locks full throttle haha and the 1100mah 2s battery only lasts about 3 minutes. My little TR-800 / Helion Lagos got a replacement prop and may inherit the brushless 280 motor which would be a big upgrade from a 180 motor. I hope all is well! Again Thank you so much for all your knowledge and previous personal recommendations!
Proboat: "Perform flex shaft maintenance after every boating session"
Also Proboat: We loctite'd the coupler for you. Good luck!
Well said. 😆 🤣 😂
Balloons work but need to remove them if any moisture is in there . Corrosion X is great stuff . A little stinky though. Good for salt water corrosion prevention or after run used it inside the cooling head of my gas boats and wipe down of parts too .
I use corrosion x and dielectric grease quite a bit almost daily
I finally did it with a torx tool😉
I was looking at getting the vector SR80 for my first boat Which you said was pretty good.
Been looking more at your videos and was wondering if this would be better choice?. I do like that the vector is a bit bigger though.
Thanks for your help.
Keep up the great info you have taught this newbie a lot😊
Either one should put a smile on your face, I'd go with the 26" recoil 2 if your after a larger hull, it's comparable to the sr80
Hello Big B. New subscriber to the channel. Great content. I'm a newbie to RC boats. Only had a slow toy grade one before. Looking at getting the Recoil 2 as it has awesome performance for the price. One newbie question I have is. Does the grease on the end of the shaft not need cleaning off before its inserted back into the collar and tightened up. You seemed to just push the shaft through the grease and secure it into the collar. I assume the grease doesn't make any difference to how secure the drive shaft is, as long as the collar is threadlocked and tight?
I like to whine the grease off as much as possible, it doesn't make that much of a difference and I've had guys argue otherwise. Clean it off if you can. BG4L
Great, thanks.
Thanks for the video big b . It might seem silly to some but for a newbie it's very much needed and this boat is aimed at the newbies. Bg4l
No problem 👍 always glad to help
Pronatur teflon grease, and Pronatur teflon oil can be mixed to any thickness. Too thick grease causes heat build up and on small boats saps the power. All my struts are drilled to oil or grease as necessary.
Thanks for the info!
GREAT VIDEO! Is there any info you can share about the prop your using?
It's an old proboat miss geico 24 prop 3216 stainless..I detounged it
Wanted to get out today just too cool and windy soon soon ill get my boats on the H2O. Peace thanks for your info on maintenance need to go through my tug and get her ready she's always on the water regardless of what F E boat I'm running.
Hopefully you'll get some nice weather soon, we were in the 70's today, super nice in NC.
I picked up this boat because of your review and I'm really happy with it! I needed a basher boat for our pond and one that I could throw in our full-scale boat to take to the lake. Looks like it will be great for both! What metal prop would you run for thrashing about? I don't need 40+ mph since my pond is too small for that... just something that runs good and will be durable.
Cnc 3414 2 or 3 blade should get the job done.
@@IRONCLADRC Thanks! Ill give one a try!
My grub screw on the coupler showed up pre-stripped 🙄. Tempted to find a collet style one to replace it.
Gotta use heat to remove the grub screws
Lucas oil marine grease is my favorite.big tube last forever.
Once my XXL tube of red & tacky is done I'll be picking up some LO marine grease. C'mon
You need some real hex drivers. And get rid of those chinesium “L” hex wrenches and you won’t have to worry about stripping out little grub screws.
I really love the Vanquish hex drivers, expensive but so worth it. No more stripped hardware, not even on little 1.5mm stuff. And they feel great in the hand. And if you don’t want to spend the money on those even the much cheaper Dynamite hex drivers do great, but the knurling on the handles is a bit aggressive and will rub your hands raw if you’re doing a whole RC rig build.
On a serious note have you tried conformal coating your electronics, I use it in my drones and now boats and everything….. check it out
Hi. Iam french and i have bought this boat yesterday. I saw your great video but it is impossible to unscrew the screw. It seems the thread is damaged or blocked. Have you some advices to help me please?
Use a soldering iron on the grub screws
I have used my soldering iron on the grub screw and i cant unscrew. It seems the screw is circular and not six sites, i cant use my tool tu remove it. I dont know how to do now...
I got the grub screw out of the coupler and the flex shaft spins freely and also moves in and out a few mm. Just can't pull it out. Tried using a lot of force, more than I was comfortable with, and it still won't come out. Am I doing something wrong? Is the shaft possibly flared out at the end, not allowing it to pass through the coupler? Any advice is appreciated.
Heat the coupler with a mini torch, get it fairly hot, Tap om the end of the flex cable with a rubber hammer (lightly) that should free up the cable.
@@IRONCLADRC i got it out, thanks! I watched your video really quick and tried to remember the steps and use the owners manual hours later. The manual doesn't tell you to do anything but remove the grub screw from the coupler and pull. I don't know why they don't tell you to remove the strut. Ppl are gonna break their boats.
What seems to be the problem if you stare at the end of the shaft with a propeller is and it’s a little bit wobbly. What could be the problem
More that likely, an out of balance propeller, tale the prop & nut off and spool it up on the "bench" a little wobbly is okay alot of wobbly is not
Thank you sir. @@IRONCLADRC
Do you think it would last a lap on 4s???
Esc is only rated for 3s,
Hey man I grease my cable daily…. Is that bad? 😂😂 Your advice on the foam to stop up the end of it sounds savage man…… to each his own I reckon
I grease my boats, all my boats before each run.. I use the foam method, it's the quickest way of greasing 3 to 4 boats daily. I've been using this method for years now without issues..
@@IRONCLADRC ok Ill get some foam and give it a try….. it looked easy enough do Ill report back…. I love these maintenance and tips and tricks videos so thank you! Ive gained good knowledge from you Sir Im IRONCLAD BABY!!!!
Yeah thanks man for doing these maintenance videos and tips and tricks much appreciated. I am new to boats and just bought a recoil 2 18" shreddy man does it shred right out of the box!! It's a great boat and fun. Think heating the Alan wrench up then letting it fit into the set screw and letting it heat it up for a min would work to break it loose? Instead of risking it with mini tourch flame.
@@randyshepherd1701 what you trying to break loose?
