Did some testing today, new best

[obrien]

I headed over to the pond this afternoon to see if I could crack 50 mph with the SV. I started with the ammo 2300, stock sv esc, 4s1p lipos, and a s&b x645. 44.5 mph was the best I could get. I went to my P741-4 and the boat ran 43.4 mph . I swapped over to my hydra 120 and a 4s2p setup with the x645 prop back on. The boat then went 52.0 mph before it went over. When I got it back over, the boat didn't hand too well after that so I brought it back in. The batteries had shifted so it was not ballanced very well. But I was happy, I finally cracked 50 with that hull. Now I just have to get it settled down.

Congratulations obrien!

there is a little bit more in that setup with some time working on the setup and tweaking the prop. how much more I don't know but we shall see.

How much lead weight have you added to the hull?

[obrien]

none yet. when I was playing around last weekend I had the tabs all the way down and the batteries a bit further forward so it was much more stable at 48.8 mph, but running a x440/3 blade prop. On my first pass the boat went over and moved te batteries around a bit so it was a bit of a handful to get it to run. If I can get the boat to set and not chine walk so badly i think it will be able to get some more speed without adding extra weight. Granted I am running a pair of 4s1p packs in the boat, so it may not need the extra weight.

Good Job obrien

[obrien]

thanks. i am going to play with the prop a bit to see what it has left in it. the more I think about it, I think I need to remove the tongue and see what happens from there.

nice, I have to try my hand at prop balancing and sharpening-maybe you can give me a lesson on friday..lol

[obrien]

lol, I will show you what to do, but you may not want to do it my way. its a little out of the ordinary.
