Need help to secure 4s 6000mha dinogy batteries.

[Monstercat]

I have a H&M intruder MKll. I need some help with securing the big batteries in the front of the sponsons I am running two dinogy 4s 6000mah 65c in series . image.jpgimage.jpgimage.jpgRight now I only have Velcro in the bottom but they always seen to come loose. I have to keep the batteries pretty far fwd. to keep it from flipping at full throttle. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Best thing to do is wedge some cut to size pool noodle or foam between the bats and deck. Thats what a lot of people do if they can't get velcro straps in.

Can we see how your strut is adjusted? Take a nice side view like this:

I just dropped the strut about 2mm today I will be running it again tomorrow. image.jpgimage.jpg

The reason I ask is I had that problem with having to move that batts up. I angled the strut level. Dropped the bottom of the stuff about 1/8" lower than the bottom if the sponsons. Moved batteries back. She rides level and no flipping at 70mph

Problem solved thanks. Pool noodles and dropping the strut. She runs 82mph and smooth as a Cadillac. Now to tackle that 90 mph barrier. Going to have to prop up from a x448. Any suggestions?

[kfxguy]

How fast was it before? I think I picked up 7 - mph from dropping the strut. More stable too.

And if you don't mind me asking, what's your setup? (Motor, esc)

The next step up would be an x646 then x648.

Guys, please forgive me for yanking the topic: what is the difference between an Intruder S and this MK II hull?

jay, why do you raise your strut up 3/16 when this boat has a much lower strut ?

Tim, The Mk II has a new bottom compared to the S.

John, I don't understand the question....

you stated in a thread that you run your strut 3/16 off the table. kfxguy in this thread stated he is getting best results with strut lower than table. i guess what my question is: can you take 2 different props and lower the strut with the smaller prop and raise the strut with the bigger strut and obtain the same results? another words, different hulls require different strut adjustments depending on how much hull lift the boat has? sorry for long question, just trying to fully understand these cat.

sorry that is bigger prop not bigger strut
