This is the esc from the other boat. The butt connectors were to make the wires longer. Hah. I guess ill just add some wire...

Lets see a pic of the back of your transom so we can see where you have the strut adjusted.

Ok. Will do.

I would just take the butt connector off and solder both wires together then slide on some shrink wrap. I think I even sent you some for this reason lol!

Also killer run! Congrats on everything! That thing moves really well!

Hah you sure did. Ill try doing that before memorial day weekend. Then, this boat is going to be ran hard. And how fast do you think this beast was going in that small distance?

Looks like it needs to come up a hair there man! Thats what I would do and retest.

I know all about testing there man today was the first day I was able to run the Fightercat boat Flat out wide open and trimmed out perfect. Took me a long time to do it! But the more you experiment with things the better understanding of how a boat operates!

Also you are saying the right is left and left is right when your driving?

[masonis1]

Yes. The traxxas transmiter does that. I just need to reverse it. Very easy but its sunday so traxxas wasnt open to help me out. So what do i do, just raise the strut and that will reduce bounce?

I would raise it a hair. Some porpusing at half throttle is hard to not have but once it is wide open it should be flat!

[masonis1]

Oh and when i charged my lipos, hah i found out i only used about... 1500 mah for about 12 minutes total run time. Hah so i have a lot more. I had to end this run because my tr batts were low and the cut off started going off.

You can fix the steering by getting that linkage correct inside.
