i think that the rpm level is too high for a flex shaft! lol it the drivetrain's not perfictly balanced, you hit the throttle and the whole thing feels like it's going to fly apart! i had to take the rubber dust boot off the shaft becouse it would try to fly off and it'd make the driveshaft out of balance.

Similar project. My MMM system would mount right up to the stock mount I just can't see putting that much money with just a few mm of plastic seperating it from sudden death. I solute you! LOL

haha, that's what i was most afraid of but after it flipped the first time, i realized that it can't get fast enough to do any real damage



I wonder if it would be posible to get like 2 of the origanal caliente boat and put them togather to give me a very long, more stable boat. the first caliente boat was longer and close to half as wide as the second one that i used
