SV Rebuilt

[Diesel6401]

Just tested the SV today after a tear down and rebuilt. I changed the motor and esc to ul-1 power. New paint job, motor mount, coupler, flexshaft and got rid of the bulky radio box. Also has a 2.4ghz radio and 5.5mm bullet connectors. The test run was done with 2 2s 4500mah 30c zippys & a grim 42x55 prop. I ran a few laps before I got video. If their is something I can change or anything you guys think I can do better please post here. Any feedback is greatly appreciated. (This is also posted in the SV section)

Well gps'd the boat today. This time I ran with 2x 2s Turnigy 4000mah 40c's and I hit 47.4mph with trim tabs & strut neutral. Boat ran very well no hopping or bouncing. Looked GREAT on the water. Still used a grim 42x55, man I love that prop.

Thanks. No I honestly don't think I'm going to push the boat anymore. I think if I adjusted the trim tabs I could run a little more loose and maybe break 50, but I really don't want to do that at this time. I'm so satisfied with how it's running, I think I finally got the SV dialed in and is a pleasure to drive. I was hopeing for anything above 40 today and I was shocked when I seen the gps (yes it was reset to 0 before) hit 47. All the setting are exactly the same as in the video, only difference was 40c lipo's instead of 30c and a very nice ripple in the water that the boat enjoyed.

UL1 on the other hand did not like the water today at all and spent more time in the air than on the water :doh:
