Saddle Tape Overhangs! This is what I do. Take a NEW strait edge razor blade (old, dull, dirty blades with rust spots wont work if you want a clean edge). Spray some WD-40 onto a paper towel. Wipe entire blade area on both sides with WD-40 not just the edge. Cut the excess tape from entire length of side in one smooth motion, while pulling the excess material up and away from the edge this way it wont catch on the blade and give you a ragged edge. Wipe blade with WD-40 before you cut each additional side. I am like you! I hate rough ragged edges when I cut saddle tape! This should help you get those cuts straight and sharp. I usually use 1/16” thick tape but should work just as well for 1/8” thick. Keep up the great work! BG4L Bro!

Rebuilding my stealthwake (first boat ) with carbon fiber and a 3674 motor (6s) .when I put new electronics in and drove it on 3s was amazing. Then tried it on 6 s was crazy and out of control. So I'm reinforcing it with carbon fiber and all new hardware . Hopefully I can make all this work hahaha wish me luck

get a small c clamp and use a socket on the threaded side of bolt. will help push those bushings in easier. Using the socket head bolt helps keep the bushing from getting ruined when hammered or pressed in like you had!
