looking good!
what motor and kv are you going to run in this ?

[Savage Skidoo]

Thanks Brushless55 , in it is a 4092-1430kv and T180 on 2-3s 5000s . Some help on a prop would be awesome , in my box i have a p215 , p220 and a x442 . I have had lots of practice SBTR props as ive been the go to guy around here , some times putting my work behind . Thank your for the reply and looking .

[Brushless55]

I would start with the P220 and work up..
you may need bigger props for this one and it should really move out nice

Heres a short vid from my Maiden voyage , the p215 was ready to go so i used it but lost it in the drink . I did not GPS it , as i was checking for leaks and cog otherwise it ran great , now for the right cleaver on the rear it will be sweet :) . Thanks K.A. for the Video

Looks great! Congrats!
I used those billet trim tabs on my MHZ Lizard Xtreme, love them, they look awsome on your boat! Great build, all the CF work done beautifully!

I had 3 back to back runs this weekend , flawless runs . I've been working on a prop i got from kintec , its a P235 ........nice step up from the P220 runs cooler and WAY WAY faster . This weekend coming will get some vid's and GPS it .......

I will also share this prop anvil i made with you , i cupped the P235 for the test run .

[Savage Skidoo]

Not the quickest boat on the market but i'll take it , GPS' it , now for some tweeking . I have a question for some of you more experienced Fe boaters . The boat gets up and goes at half throttle , i pull the trigger to full with no increase in speed , 971687_10151665453940692_354226127_n.jpg

Could be the LVC(low voltage cutoff) kicking in. That is a SK or T-180 in there right? I have mine programmed to 5s and 3.2 volts. Auto detect will cause this. Also make sure your throttle is calibrated.
