Can anyone tell me if a surface drive will do well on a 1/4 scale crackerbox? I just want to know if it will make it faster or slow it down. I'm using a 31cc weedeater engine. Can anyone help?(please)

it should be faster if set up for surface drive. however, if you want to race i don't think it would be legal for the c-box class.

Ok, total newbie question here but, what exactly is a "crackerbox" (aside from a crappy little apt.)? :confused:

A Crackerbox is a scale model of the real APBA racing class of one-design boats. "The Cracker box class is the oldest inboard runabout class in APBA. Since 1946, these ever popular 'flyers' have been exciting their fans (and drivers) where ever they race. Featuring a highly modified engine amid ship w/driver and riding mechanic behind, these 'Aqua sprinters' make for a wild ride."
