Unless you live in Florida where we have salt water and anybody that runs RC boats here that are shaft driven knows that you should always Grease the shaft though it doesn't make contact with the actual tube the grease inside helps keep saltwater out and makes removing the prop shaft when the time comes much easier.

@@IFixShet Thats odd someone just happens to have a problem getting their shaft out after you reply to my comment that I said a year ago. Their problem happens 3 hours after your reply to me then you reply to them in 2 hours.Come on thats funny. I put electrical tape around the top and with the grease on the end I never get a drop of water in it.Besides the salt water that gets on it would only lock up the end where the bering is, again because thats the only place the two medals come in contact.

P.S.Ive never seen you run your boat in salt water.

@@3460usmc Mike I don't think you understand how KZfaq notifications work I got one because for some random Reason KZfaq decided after a year to let me know that people have been commenting on this video so I answered him and then I tried to do the courtesy of going through an answering people that commented whether it was a year later or not I still tried to answer some of them before moving on that's just how I work and by the way I have taken the boat out and enough salt water to know that by putting Marine waterproof grease on the shaft it makes removing it very easily after running it in salt water if I don't grease it it makes it almost impossible and it will shred the bearings trying to pull the shaft out and rip them to Pieces so trust me on this my friend the grease helps if you're in saltwater even if you're not it still helps with removing the shaft especially if it sat for a while

@@IFixShet Ok if you say so,but I've had mine Ft 011 for like 4 years now never had a problem.

If you go on eBay and type in Ft011 upgrade prop they have many suggestions available

Watch your ESC temperature it will start smoking on brass CNC alloy seems to be the best for the cheap ESC in the boat

Okay thanks for the advice I'll be careful. What would you suggest for a good replacement esc? I've heard a lot of people saying to just junk the stock unit point blank lol.

@@chrisdemeule5490 sea king 120a

There is no part number for this the company that produced this prop does not make it any more unfortunately. This was a custom prop offered on eBay for the Ft 11 it had a two-year running span by the company and then they went out of business

Also if you watch the whole video I say the part number at the end of it this is why you shouldn't skip through videos

@@IFixShet didn't mean to offend. Appreciate your time and content.

Shen RC we're actually counting on the fact that it might burn it up. If it does the next installation will be a 60 amp ESC setup. If it doesn't burn it up then it's going to be awesome I have seen other people running 36mm props on theirs with no issues so will find out.

Shen RC I'm going to make two passes with it tomorrow and then pull the lid off and see how hot things are getting

Hi yes you may burn the ESC puff your batteries and burn out the motor...just because others are running 36mm props means nothing are they 3 blade? what was the pitch on there 36mm props? you can use a bigger prop and use one with less pitch than the stock one and it should work but when you use a larger prop and if it has more pitch to the blades it is way harder to turn under water and needs better motors and everything else.... my friend you need to go on this board and you can ask and learn a lot about RC boating forums.offshoreelectrics.com/forum.php I made many fast RC boats and used many types of props carbon fiber steel aluminum beryllium and know about RC boats... you cant just start out popping on a huge prop and running it you need to start out small and work your way up and record temps of all components and speed if possible and find the best size prop that will make your boat faster and still run cool enough so you dont mess it all up.

Shen RC im bringing my Temperature Laser gun tomorrow to see how hot we are getting with 2 passes. Just having some fun bother. They warned me to do speed busrting with this setup instead of full throttle entire runs. I love the challange

Shen RC thanks for the link by the way
