In your listing you can add motor mounts for twin setup

I haven`t driven it much lately, but I have been able to find out that the new cooling system works great. Here are pictures of what eventually became.

I also made myself a prop box, with some new props, to carry in the field.
Hopefully I will try them next weekend.

A litle feedback on this boat:
It is not exstreamly fast, but a bit faster then with the single setup.
But much more stable! I can jump waves and fool arround and it does not flip.
The boat does not dive the way it dit before ider, it just pops right up again and continue forward.

But today I had my first real crash!
At WOT I hit a wave I didn't see, and then it was on it's flight:)
The cowling came off and the nose rised out of the water. I can understand why when I got it back:

But I can't find a scratch on the hull and the traxxas box was dry! So I just hope that the rest of the electronics survived.
Laying on the bathroom floor to dry up.

What is your setup 2x4S or 2x5S and what motors are you using (kV) ?

Yes, a twin setup is the must

[fjelling]

I'm using 3674 2200kv on 4S with x442's.
Works find on 5S too with alloy 440's for highspeed runs, but that was not my intention with this boat.

I have also run it with alloy 445's on 4S and x442's on 5S, but my batteries get to hot.
I would guess this is a good setup if I had some bether batteries.
The ESC's also got a bit hot, but I thing that may be because of the poor batteries?

[fjelling]

One of the ESC's is dead. (the motor is just cogging)
O well, 50$ down, not that bad...
