              I sold my last boat yesterday with all the lipos I had left and radio.
              I kept my charger because I'm going to be building a kbb 45 over the winter.
              Starting fresh I guess you could say. Time to go big or go home

              Thanks for the offer tho

                No problem. ...I don't think I could go boatless after picking up this hobby. There's three boats I have that I think unless I was about to lose my house, I wouldn't sell (unless I had another hull to build just like it!) And that's my mini rivercat, rivercat and cheetah.

                  I hear ya. I loved all my boats, but unfortunately here in ma the waters are rough a lot, and the 30" boats just aren't cutting it for me anymore. It gets frustrating trying to run them. I really just one 1 really nice one at this point. A big one that goes really fast mehehe

                      Well it looks like you're on your way to 100, well done bro. I knew that thing had it in it, people don't realize how much batteries really matter.

                        how many c and mah, and cells were the batteries?

                          Revolectrix 5500mah 70c on 7s.... two 3s packs and one 1s custom made pack. I tested on 6s....after I flipped it..took a while to bring it in...it went 83.2 on the second pass.

                            I didn't really think that they were going to make that difference! But they sure did!

                              I just realized, where I'm at on 6s is faster than I was on 7s a couple weeks ago. ....with 6s this past weekend I went 83.1mph. ...and my batteries were not fully charged plus I had run them down a tad before I was able to make a full pass. My previous 6s run with the castle motor was 82.5mph with the same controller. Not bad. I'll be backing power down soon....or should I say when I find the limits of this hull. I hope to get it in the 90's on 6s. As soon as I get a good prop on it I think it's doable. I'm still rocking the Ole sharpened and balanced m645. I'm pretty sure there's something better than that! Just gotta find it and tune it in. I'll be getting started on a little project soon. It's going to be a much better and easier way to adjust my strut. Stay tuned......we should be a little faster this weekend and I can't wait!
