Painting drives while on boat?
 
Can I paint the drives while still on the boat? or is it worth it just taking them off? Also, if I were to take them off, do i NEED a drive stand and how hard is it to take them off. I have never taken them off before.

That one goes down as a top ten blunder for the year - I wouldn't have passed the opportunity up myself!

Don't know what kind of drives.... but if you are gonna keep this hobby... get a buddy to show you how to remove and replace your drives.

There are little "tricks" for each type drive.

(Like put your alpha in forward.... etc.)
