    Looks like you need to move your batteries forward to get it to settle down.

    Here is my old Gen in the hands on its new owner. He goes full throttle at the beginning of the video, about :40seconds in, and realizes how fast the boat is with a 2200 4074 Leopard motor on 6S. Over all the driver of the Mean Machine is much more familiar with his boat but you can see that when he opens up the Gen, it's very smooth and very fast! I rebuilt the boat and passed it off to him after a few runs of my own with it. I didnt like the fact that the boat handles as it does. It's more of a SAW boat, which I didn't want.

      Hit up Osprey21, hes in our club. Im pretty sure he broke 60 on a 4074 w a 6S set up. Cant remember what kv he had though and I think it was on a M445. Three of us were running Q-offshore and all of us were in the 50s, two of us, Osprey and myself, with Leopard 4074s. I was running a 442 w/ the tongue removed and tip cupped a little.

      EDIT, and all of us were running Genesis hulls

        seems like on 10S i'd want to go down to about a 1,200KV?
        He was running this only in SAW passes to see what he could get to. Its not a good setup for everyday sport/racing.
