    YEP. try adding the weight as FAR forward as possible. this way you add less and it is more effective. Think about what electronics you might be able to nudge forward. maybe tie a helium balloon to the rear....................

        Everthing is as far forward as it possibly can. The sponsons have foam in the front 3/4 of it so the lead cannot be added to the tip where it would be best.

            Went out to run it again today. I ran the same setup as last time with a few minor changes. Leveled out the strut and bent the turn fin a little more. She ran great. The starboard sponson seamed glued to the water but not running to wet. Still got a little port sponson hop in the corner if not at full throttle but at WOT its almost non-exsistant. I am still trying to get someone to take some video.

            Thanks for all the help guys.

                Great description of run. VId would be nice to see the difference ... good job, sounds like you are having fun.

                    As promised I got some video. Runs a hell of a lot better but still not perfect. I proped down to a Y531 from the X632 for a little more run time and happier batteries.

                                                It's not a BBY hull. She used to be mine, and I got her from the HOTR guy, he doesn't offer them anymore.

                                                        I dug really hard for you, I can't find the bare hull, but I did find the boat, just labeled differently...
