    Revolt 30 maiden run

    Hello All
    I am new to fe boats after years of running nitro boats.
    mostly 3.5 and 7.5 outboard tunnel hulls. I picked up
    a Revolt 30 a couple weeks ago and took it out for the first time
    this weekend , I'm hooked....LOL.
    I had not purchased a Aquacraft product for quite a few years and
    I was impressed when I took it out of the box. I got 2 Turnigy nanos
    2s 5000mah 45-90c batteries for it. the first trip out was bone stock
    and I thought it did a fine job. I adjusted the strut and turn fins and it
    improved the speed. I put a Octura X442 prop on it and that helped also.
    the last run I made with it was at full throttle for 7 minutes and I checked
    the esc,motor and batteries and all were just warm to the touch.
    overall I am very pleased with the quality and performance of the boat.
    I wish the slot in the prop shaft for the drive dog was back about a 1/8" further.
    I am already looking at the UL-1. good job Grim.
    you guys have a great site here and I have learned a lot from you guys.
    thanks

      I'm going to gps it this weekend.
      it is a lot more fun than I thought it
      would be. its been about 20 years
      since I bought an electric boat, what a
      slug that thing was....LOL

        ran a GPS on it this weekend and she's right in the 40mph range.
        my gps unit weighs 4 ozs though. got a new prop coming from OSE.

          I put a Octura X642 prop on it
          and lowered the strut back down
          a little. gps is in the 45mph range.
