(PS, sorry for the title type-o. MHP is not Milli-Hp but should be MPH, Miles per hour, sorry.

Really fun boat; the stepped hull needs to run a little looser so the strut angle, which was giving some down-trim will be raised for future trials. Lots of potential soon to be realized.

Oh, BTW, that finger is insured by LLoyds of London for 2 Million as a result of my work as a stunt man in the adult film industry

Changed the strut angle, regreased everything, moved the batteries back, sharpened the prop a bit more, fully charged the batteries, put in the Eagle Tree and quess what........... Still 40.0 MPH.

At this speed I am pulling between 68 and 72 amps but my 3S pac is dropping down to 10.3 VDC. It is an older 20C pac so I now need to update to some new batteries for this.

Yes, the finger........Is that is why your stage name is ProperFinger an your FE name is ProperChopper?

Put a Castle Sale ($40) outrunner in the 23" stepped hull Nighthawk and ran it onboth 4 S and 5S. The motor was a 3424-1800, (1800KV). The prop was a carbon 449.

On the 4S set up it was a consistant 39 MPH and
On the 5S set up it was a consistant 46 MPH on three different runs.

I included a GPS with my track and speed. Maybe I should go for 6s...after all, its a Castle motor!
