Land Ho!

Alright fellas i beached my new TS2 and the motor sucked dirt. crank is scored as well as the front housing. sleeve is very loose but piston seems unscathed. what else should i be checking for?

 

[MarkScott]

What caused the beaching? Might want to check battery strength, corrosion on wires, moisture in the rx, etc if it was due to radio issues.

Beaching was caused by the switch turning itself off. Used the switch cover that came with the boat but i think it's a little snug and didn't allow the switch to fully stay on. Just wondering what i need to check in the motor.

How smooth are the bearings? Might want to spray them out with wd-40. If they feel gritty, replace those also.

Bearings feel good, but i will flush the heck out of them just to be sure. I'm gonna order the crank, piston and sleeve and front housing to bring it up to the 13mm crank. Is there anywhere other than mecoa you would reccomend.
