Well,,,, yes she is running very wet. Yes doesn't turn we'll to the left, I haven't made the bracket for the turn fin. I am still getting this dialed in and use to the steering. I hit the marker and when I did it kicked the rudder. I did not know that till I punched it and "wamm". As soon as that happened I knew what happened!!! No real damage just a dime size chip about two inches back from tip. Then when I blipped the throttle it did hit a log. That was why I said Opps I hit a log, not referring to the pontoon boat :) lol!!! Then as I was walking over to get it double whammy !! I slipped in the muddy bank and well kept the phone and radio dry! Just browned my pants!!! Lol!! It's been a fun day!!!

Well it runs.
To bad no video of you taking the dip to.

Don't worry bud,it happens to us all. Hit something at the other side of lake and didn't realize it flipped the rudder on the Shocker till it was "full tilt" toward me and closing in.Flew about 20'ft when it hit shore. Do have vid somewhere on here.

Glad to see the flood chamber functions well.The monos sure handle different hey there RW.

Cooper another sweet build bro. We really need to get together one day soon. I love the df 41 its my favorite mono I ever owned or ran. It is a pretty tough hull right out of the box. Sorry about your misfortune but *!***!***!***!** happens rite and as long as you have the skills or talent to fix it then its not that terrible.

[Cooper]

Ok some new parts, I made a left turn fin adapter.

[Cooper]

Got a more powerful servo and swaped out bullet connectors on motor. (Melted the 5mm ones- yes was pushing it too much had to prop down).

[lenny]

Won't the turn fin bracket add a lot of drag ?
Also I think it was running so wet in that video,
That the drag from the water and amp load on the setup most of been very high and that could be why the 5.5 melted free.

[Cooper]

Lenny yes, way too wet of a run. And the bracket is being mounted inside the flood chamber. Only thing on outside of hull will be button head m4 screws.

[lenny]

Oh Nice,
That will work great than.
Also that run in the video, Was that on 8s ?
I thought it was on 4s and it was screaming to get up on plane.

Cooper I have done things to dinogys that nobody should do. I brought them down to 2.6 a cell so on a load with my 3040's it was probably 2.2 a cell maybe lower. The packs were fine as they ever were. This was the one and only time I screwed up with a lipo and thought they were smoked. I'm sure if we made a habit of this it wouldn't be good

So what was the width of the chamber you settled on? I'd like to do this to my 40" mono. How much weight did you settle on and what packs do you use? Sorry if I missed something.

Hey sorry about the delayed response, started a remodeling project and its expanded into a lot more!!! I'll check the dimensions for you and post up. I do have a (about) 1/2" round by 10" piece of stainless steel zip tied to the far side of the flood chamber. I can run two 4s 5000mah Dino's (or a 4s and 3s , a bit more electronic friendly). I have the one battery velcrowed to the side of the flood chamber and the other one velcrowed next to the stuffing tube, both on same side of flood chamber. Had to play around with trim tabs to counter the weight for handling. If I did it again I would make the chamber about 1/2" to 3/4" wider. That would lessen the weight needed to be added. Making handling easier.
