Look what I found. I found the picture of the GPS from late last fall when the Atomik went 59mph. I did that with the Leopard 5692 1090kv. THe prop was the next size above stock on 6s.

Went out with the Atomik today using a X457 prop. The water was perfect. I had the large prop on and after about 4 minutes the ESC had a melt down. I checked the temps of the motor and batteries, and they were fine. Surprised that the SEAKING 130A HV did this on 8s. If there was a heavy draw, the batteries and/or motor would have been warm. Everything was normal. Had the batteries all the way forward on the edge of the battery tray. I could have gone another inch for a little better performance. She did have a nice scream. I am pretty sure I broke all records for the Atomik 58. I know the top speed Atomik has gone, and I went past them - only by a smidge. LOL
Safe to say, I Will leave it the way it is. I will install the telemetry so I can monitor on the DX3S. Ken guessed the speed when I made a few clean passes. When I opened the hatch and showed him the GPS, no surprise he knew. LOL
