I have a nitro viper GT from kyosho, and the thing has given me hell from
the day I bought it. the engine never ran under load (I have 4 model planes
and 2 cars, and I do know a thing or two), so I sold it on ebay and bought a
os .15 marine. this engine runs beautifully but, by this point the brass
tube the drive shaft was in started to move because the epoxy let go from
nitro eating away at it. so I thought for a while and decided on filling it
with fiberglass to hold the tube in place. this worked for 2-3 runs until
the little plastic drive nut that connects the engine to the drive shaft
blew apart and melted. I've given up on this boat, will sell it to anyone
for parts, but am keeping the engine and electronics. I am now looking for a
boat that is a bit better built and wont give me so much trouble. pleaser
help me
