Finally got to run her!!!!

[ejimbo4]

I picked my Impulse31 a month and a half ago and by the time I got my batteries and got everything soldered I got to run her for 4 minutes before I had to have knee surgery a month ago and today was the first chance I got to get to the lake thanx to my good friend Larry that has a pontoon boat for retrieval seeing as how the new kayak and rowboat I bought I can't use as I am still on crutchs... while I was layed up I did all suggested hook-ups such as loc-tite,more flotation,5mm connectors all the way around,ground a flat spot in the flex cable,water inlet in rear and water proofed all electronics. Today I ran it for it's first solid runs and I still have a grin on my face!!! I ran it stock out the box with a x445 prop and 2-2cell 5000mah 40c turnigy lipo packs and it was awesome!!! From all the reading I have been doing on this forum that when it was porposing really bad I bent the tabs down a little and it was a big improvement but I still need to figure it out a little more.Anyways here are some pics and a vid. I am on a very big deep lake with big boats at times so we had some good rolling waves that were a challange at times but very fun!Last pic is actually a video!

Nice man! That thing hauls! I still need to trim mine. I think my strut is too high. tried to run her one time and she would barley plane out. Maybe 15MPH and VERY wet.

Looks good!
