well since i've never found a vid of this boat i figured i'd post up mine

it's running speedmaster hardware, and an hvmaxx on 12 cells



it runs much faster in calm water

SDG,
Looks good, she moves pretty well.....Try moving the CG a bit further forward to calm down the porposing. It will make the boat a lot more stable. Well done.


Cheers,
Jim

i have but the prop started losing water. i ordered a set of trim tabs to calm her down.

in calm water i honestly think this hull is being pushed to it's limits

I had the same issue with my old Cesa, no matter what I did with the CG or the trim she was always on the brink of control.


Cheers,

you know thats weird, you would think these would run faster in a little chop, but I guess to scale these "chops" are like 2' waves full scale.

our real boat (27' chapparal ssi with a 425) run's it's fastest in 1 1/2' - 2 foot chop but drives on real boats aren't on the surface for the most part so they stay in the water while the hull is in the air.


when 1/2 the prop on a rc runs out of the water normally it doesn't take much to put the prop in the air thus slowing it down


no water for the prop=slow
