    Fed up with the Vanquish

    My experience with the Vanquish is over. This all started on RC Groups.http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1656874

    After spending considerable time and $ reinforcing the hull, replacing the stuffing tube and moving it up, fabricating a servo mount, and testing many different times I am done with the Vanquish. It will not plane and dives to the left when it speeds up almost sinking itself. The stuffing tube is approx 1/4" above the bottom of the hull. I removed the trim tabs. I moved the batteries around. I adjusted the stinger angle multiple times in all different positive and negative angles. I have come to the conclusion that the bottom has a hook in it and that is more than I am willing to deal with.

    I was wondering if anyone can recomend a similar hull with the hardware installed already that is of better quality and not sold by HobbyKing. I still want a mono in the 40" range and am not looking to break any speed records. I have little time to spend on this hobby these days and I am not wasting anymore of it on the Vanquish.

    Osprey.

    You bought the wrong 1M boat.

    I think there is one in the FS section here still.
    42" Osprey, 32" Pursuit, 26" Bling Rocket (rescue), Blizzard Rigger, JAE 21FE rigger, Hobby King rigger (RIP)

                I used to own the Vanquish as well but gave it away because of the "hook" problem. All the gears were moved to HOR's Osprey and never has any problem getting it on plane. The boat may not be considered finest 41" Deep-V but decent enough to me considering price/performance.

                This one was one of my friend's. Similar hull from HOR.
