hey guys long time no talk. well I got my boat up and running again after many mishaps any floods. installed rear trim tabs beside the factory ones and fine tune my boat. she is running remarkably well and I cannot wait to get it up and running on video I install M645 prop on it and she screams. I will include some photos for y'all to see but I would like to get some good video for everyone to see also so I plan on getting some quality video taken by a friend of mine this week who shoots photography who was supposed to do my video for me originally has finally got the time to do it for me. I will have a GPS Carmen by then so that way everyone can see what kind of speeds it's running. as a lot of you know I am new to the boating world and I've had many trials and errors but I think I've got this thing pretty well dialed in. I have the choice to run between the leopard motor which is a 2000 kV 4082 motor a monster Mamba motor or I can also run and in the NEU motor let me know what you guys think as I also will be trying to run a X645 prop to see if that will make any difference. hope to talk with you all soon and hope to post a really good video for you all to see and hope everyone likes it.

Also I sealed up the hull and after running it for four min she was bone dry on the inside. I also moved the batteries all the way to the back and she jumps on plain and is smooth as hell to drive all I have to do now is install my speedmaster dual pick up rudder that I got and the back of my boat Is complete. I can't wait to meet up with my buddy Keith again and run boats. When we met up last the weather was bad and was not perfect for boating so we will get to it again soon.Comment

Two new videos I did today. Boat would not let me get past half throttle as it wants to roll to the right. Any idea on how to fix would be nice.

Based on the whining of the motor, I would say that is full throttle.
Is it the 645? Try a smaller propComment

You need to stop running a 2000 kv motor on 6s, especially with that prop. You're pulling more amps than your packs can provide.Comment

It's going to meltdown soon at that rate. A little smoother throttle control wouldn't hurt either. these are just my opinions, it's your boat. Run it how you like, just be ready to spend a little cash...Comment

I would think a s215 would be a better suited prop. Again, just my 2centsComment

I'm running a s220 with a leo 1600 and it moves outComment

I ran it on 6s with the X645 prop but everytime I would try to let it go into full throttle it would pull the boat so hard in the right side of the hull that I had to get off the throttle. I'm running two Max amp 10, 000 mah 120C 3s packs. They don't even get hot just warm. You really think those batteries Can't handle it. They don't swell it anything? I never thought they could not handle it hmm. If I could get the boat to stop wasting to roll I could get a nice run on the boat plus I need a bigger lake. Going to put the bullet connectors I got 8mm for motor and I got castle 6.5 mm for everything else should help some to as far as power goes batteries are one inch from back of tray.Comment

I have an m645 just have to run it with that one still will post video soon as I canComment

The boat is torque rolling because you are turning a semi aggressive propComment
-
Ok what do you think if I run I have an x440? I will have to get a s215 and s320and see how she does but I really want to wait till I put it on a GPS to see what kind of seasoning getting I just really need to get rid of this torque rollComment
-
You could try bending the trim tab down a little more on the side that sees the torque roll. That might help.Comment
-
With that high kv you are getting close to its breaking point. Prop downComment
-
You can counter some of the roll by adjusting one side of your tabs. In a good trim setup you shouldn't have to do thatComment
