prop shaft

[ynkyfn2000]

there is alot of vibration in my outdrive when the motors running...any suggestions?

I assume this is the steerable outdrive in the Traxxis. Vibration and noise are normal in these due to all the sloppy parts and poor balance in the drive itself. The other cause can be an out-of-balance prop. This is made worse when "hopping up" these boats. Is the problem really bad vibration, or just a lot of noise? :confused:

Note that there is often vibration and/or noise when "testing" any boat out of the water. Never give a boat full throttle out of the water, it does no good and can do a lot of damage. Too, the resistance from the water will "dampen" a lot of noise due to wobbly parts.
