I'm working on it...It bugs me everyday that I can't get the boat out again cause it's just another day added to the packs idle time. Since I haven't used them again in over a month i have to cycle them!!!!!!!! the lower quatlity videos that I have really show how this sucker flings water!!! You can tell by the rooster tail and high pictched motor whine!!!
No worries on the help!! I searched the internet for MONTHS before finding this site and then it was still a little bit of a pain getting info. I actually can't take all the credit... If you go on youtube and search for "shockwave36 NEU" you'll find another guy that gave me the motor spec. The NEU was crazy $$ but I do not regret it one bit!
The other thing / tip I noticed too is battery placement with the two TP6s2p running in parallel... I noticed that the boat is pretty squirrely because i have the batteries wedged with foam ON TOP of the existing wooden frame. It makes the boat VERY top heavy when on plane an I've been a little skidish / rolly coming into a turn under a full head of steam. In the last video that I did (the clearer one) you can see how it 'spun out' on me... It's alot scarrier of a spin out compared to when it used to spin out running the nitro motor. After the spin out with the electric setup, the hull kinda seesaws / teeters back and forth in the water as it's going to roll. I also noticed coming back across my own wake, if the hull leaves the water and you're not 100% straight it hooks violently. I've put down my trim tabs by like 3degrees or so, and that seemed to help alot to keep more of the nose down. No noticeable speed loss either... It takes a lil bit of playing around to get it to hook up right but you'll get! You won't be sorry, run the 6s2p in parallel if you have the $$ . I promise I'll get another video up with the batteries back in good health!!! crap, now i want to run it and i'm stuck in WORK! f$%^!!!!!
