[Dlamazing]

hi to all I've learned a lot from all you guys here and thanks I would have not gotten where I'm at today if it wasn't for you all we'll I need some revolt veterans help I just got the boat I did a lot of tweaking before it hit water since I've seen nothing but horror stories I upgraded the flex shaft and new AQ coupler since the factory one broke pulling the stock bent flex shaft I replaced all the connectors with 5.5 bullets battery,esc,motor all I also did the bigger cooling lines 4mm and re routed to esc first then motor by the way it's all stock 1800 motor n stock esc I set the turn fins kicked back and all the way up the strut I set it at true zero with the hull had to shim the strut bracket to achive this trim tabs are set even with the hull on the right side standing from the back of the boat and left is at credit card thickness above the hull line I sharpened the rudder all the way and rounded and sharpen as we'll the bottom of it it's also on a 4cell 5000mah pack and also have a 7200. 4cell pack also from turnigy both I'm stuck at 44.3 with a s/b m445 I see a lot of ppl here hit upper 40s with same set up can anyone guide me a bit to get there please battery also sits all the way back in stock tray

Also the brass shaft collet keeps coming out every time I drive it it backs up a bit any advise on how to keep it in there I put more grease on but doesn't help it stay in there :/

[Luck as a Constant]

If you're talking about the brass bushing, it's a floating design and is supposed to move in and out like that. Don't try to keep it in there

hardware from the back and side.

I can't see the shim on the strut bracket.
did you angle the bracket up or down.

You can see it but it's on the right side on the boat standing behind it it's really thin also but the shaft is set even with the hull up and and and side to side true zero

my boats at my weekend place right now.
I will get some pics of my setup and post them
this weekend. mine runs 50-52 mph all the time.

Thanks I would appreciate that a lot damn that's fast! On the stock setup!! What prop are you using? And what temps are you getting? I would think your cutting it close pushing that speed unless you got some nice cold waters here in Miami fl isn't the case the sun puts a beating here lol

my prop is a Octura x642 s/b
the lake I run in stays pretty cool most
of the summer,its spring fed.
my turn fins are all the way up as yours are
but I angled them back as far as they would go.
I tweaked the strut depth and angle many times before
it would run they it does. my strut is sticking out above
the mount about a 1/4" with around a 2 degree positive angle.
take that shim out and try that depth and angle.
check your flex shaft alignment at the motor coupler.
I had to put a washer under both front motor mounts so
the flex shaft would side right in the coupler without having
to push down on the coupler a little. also make sure your prop shaft
is not getting into the Teflon liner. mine was going into it about a 1/4"
I run 2 5000mah 2s batteries all the way back in the tray side by side.
I have my rudder angled back a couple of degrees too.
Mike could help you also. he has his running the same speeds.

We'll I did some tweaking to it yesterday i left the strut with the shim so it's parallel with the hull side to side but I did angle it up a bit and put the trim tabs on neutral and went up to to 46.4 mph it's running a bit more loose then what it was and the electronics temp dropped by like 20 degrees gonna try moving the rudder a bit back see if it loosens up a bit more since it was running so wet I also ordered a x642 see if that will bump me a little more also thanks for helping me gonna try n get it to were you ppl at

[revoltrunner]

getting the prop up a little is what lowered your temps.
try just a little more up angle on the prop and see if that
loosens it up a little more.
just run it and tweak it till your satisfied.
I probably made 20 very minor tweaks to mine
before I got it to run the way I wanted it to.
that's part of the fun though....lol
good luck and have fun.

this guys boat runs very similar to mine.
notice how much of the hull is out of the water
on the straightaways.

I got all the way up to my weekend place and
realised I forgot my camera. i'll try to
borrow one from somebody and get some pics.

[revoltrunner]

You should round off the bottom of your rudder
