    No problem... I don't like selling junk... so I did that one as if I'd be running it myself... (which I would have been.... boot... boot... boot )

    I have no doubt you'll get that fast either... Likely keeping on the water a little better due to the extra weight of the additional cells as well...

      All I have left to do is dial that strut & tab situation in. Oh yeah and keep the damn water out....lol. I am going to put my new sander to work tomorrow night and see if I can get it a little more snug. Rain for the next 3 days...I have spare time.

          I was going to run tonight but I forgot to address the hatch fit issue. I will be hitting the store tonight and picking up some pads for the new sander. Seems there is a lip around the inside edge of the hull. I am going to attempt to level it off. I am also going to try and address an uneven trim tab I seem to have missed during setup. I am in for trouble if they do not contact the water equaly @ the same straight edge ajustment. I have rewired the esc and cleaned up the bec wiring layout also. It has all dryed out and tested fine. I look to be on the water Wednesday. Look for some pics tonight.

            I got the hatch issue fixed. It took quite a bit of sanding but it fits way better. You will also notice better spacing between the esc and motor and the wires are layed out better. I tub tested it and got alot of leakage from the stuffing tube. Turns out the cable was almost dry. I greased it up good. The problem should be solved.

                  Man, you are going to have so much fun at a race, I usually start out with a conservative, stalking game plan, after about the 3rd lap, I crack up and its WOT!!
