    When do you plan on running this thing? Are you going to get some video? It looks like you do decent work based on the pics of the boat...I'm looking forward to seeing how she runs.

      I'm looking at this thread and I'm thinking...WTH! How did this turn in a bash party? Danny has been very lenient with you guys. Show some respect for others on this forum. If you don't agree, and can't be courteous; don't post. Take some time and be thoughtful before you post something negative. We all come here because we enjoy the hobby and like sharing our experiences and knowledge. Keep your discussions civil.

          Cool!
          Did you read the data logger when you were done?
          I'm curious what kind of current you were pulling, and how the ESC responded in terms of temp rise, ect. I have two of these ESCs going into a 41" cat and I plan on pushing them a bit.

              Interested in some pointers, or just looking to figure stuff out yourself? You look like you're doing fine on your own, but if you want comments/suggestions let me know.

                  Looks good glad it went well just needs a little fine tuning but why at the end it sounded like it reved out and was not moving ( for time frame around when you were talking about the 8s ) it could of been just my speakers though for some reason there was alot of distortion on my end Chris

                      Looks good, a bit loose perhaps, but with some tinkering, it should settle down....Question....what was with the last few seconds of the vid....it was just floating there..hope everything is OK...any idea on temps for the setup?

                              As this thing obviously has some serious speed potential, have you considered adding expanding foam to most of the open cavities in the hull? If used properly it can add a lot of structual integrity (as well as flotation) and can help prevent cracked/folded hulls in the event of a flip etc at those speeds....just some food for though to help keep it in one piece. I foam all my hulls the great success and no issues..
