I bought one of these kits and put it together this exact way. Within 3 minutes of the first run post upgrade, two screws backed out and fell off in a grass field and the pull rods won't stay the correct length. Back to the original parts we go.
Mine lasted about 1hour the cog on the motor strips especially if the chain goes blunt or saw jams while cutting . It's more a toy than a saw their might be better heavy duty ones out with better drive set up .
Looks incredibly slow to me. So much wasted energy, your hull is highly drag inducing, needs a step in order to break free from the suction of the water.
Looking at it in detail, I don't see the need to replace the entire system with servomotors as some do, as it is quite robust, as much or even more than with servos. Of course it has some weaknesses but they are probably in points that do not require being too strong.
I have also but unfortunitly it dead becuase of heavy cutt load and now its suply under it is burn when i open it.and its battry is ok 21 volt given to the circuit and circuit then convert it in three wire connected come to motor side .mine have a three wire motor.any soloution sir to inform .i have no circuit
i did a full metal conversion of the 124007 1/12 scale and the upgraded parts fit super good in this newer version so dont be afraid to order go ahead the arms are thicker less gaps and now come with 2 extra needed bearings for the rear to have 3 in total for each side for clearance so overall perfect upgrade for me.
