Is that KMPH on the gps? Can't believe it's running 81.1 mph! Even 50 mph is good though.

[Heath M]

Very nicely setup Craig. What size prop you spinning? you should be able to get more speed out of it yet.
Sailr.. it's 81 kph so 50mph

Heath the prop im running was a M447, i tried a M545 aswell. The M545 was just as fast but i thought it rode a lot better and the current was a little lower.
Im happy for now a little tweaking should make it faster i hope.
Hopefully fast enough to chase you and Scott around the lake next year

Runs nice ! Where is that pond? Adelaide some where I assume ?

[Scott T]

Craig, looks great! Nice job.

Hopefully fast enough to chase you and Scott around the lake next year

Unless we do some tweaking, we'll be the ones chasing you!

Adam,
the lake is at mawson lakes Just north of Adelaide. its the biggest lake this side of town.you can ONLY run electric boats no gassers or nitro and the sail guys havent come back
since i took the XS3 for a run or three.
Scott,
Iwanted to build a soild cat that would run in race water. the Neu 1518 is a beast,it running the same current as the 1515 i have but a lot more torque.i think the limiting factor in my setup is the turnigy 30c lipo.i think the New thunder power 45c would give me that extra im looking for.
Im thinking of building a twin motor tunnel next on 6S?????

You'll have no problem catching Scott , might struggle with me though

what were the temps after the run?

[Scott T]

I'd love to get a 1518, but my funds are going into a 6S rigger at the moment, so no Neu for the MM. Will try a 1515 in it though, have to borrow one from my Whiplash. The Thunderpower cells will be great.

You'll have no problem catching Scott , might struggle with me though

Heath

For 1/2 a lap, then PLOP, Heath's upside down again!

Scott and Heath can you tell me more about the electric only two day event mid next year??

Heath , I ordered a canopy from rob just waiting on Australia post to do their job.
I was thinking of getting a Skunkworks hull but the Mean Machine looks promising(for now)

Scott, did I read right? your building a 6S rigger??????????????????????
