Unhappy poor boat

It's really a shame that you are chaning the AGITATOR that much, it will never run the same. That was one of the best balanced boats of all time, sometimes you should leave well enough alone. I hope the drives hold up with the blower motors because #4 drives are tough to get parts for. Just my.02

well ryan the boat needed a facelift and that just the way it is. i talked to peter at skater and i got the scoop on the set up and it will run hard and be balanced right. it has 5's now and they will hold it. see ya charlie amann.
