** New Zelos 48 Brushless Large Scale Cat From Pro Boat**

Cool. Those are the quick and dirty way to make an EC5 ecosystem work with either 2 or 4 packs on the stock 120A ESC. The die hards will tell you to switch everything to bullet connectors so it can all be hooked up with fewer connections and less resistance, but I don't think it's a big deal running the stock ESC and motor.

Happy birthday to me! I got a great deal on this used proboat zelos 48. Been wanting one of these for a while now....

HBD to you indeed

Nice! Still looks shiny! I don't think it was used much. All the better for you :-) Run it yet?

[QUOTE=Chado2448;667743]Started repairing and blueprinting my hull. After a few minutes blocking the sponsons this is what I ended up with. There are quite a few waves and hooks on them. Hopefully after I'm finished this will cure my bounce and get my speed where it should be. image.jpg[/Q

did blueprinting your hull make the boat run better? i have flattened my hull bottom but havent run it yet. i will also put strut on back of boat and rudder on left to counteract prop torque.

Is the 48 worth getting? I might be looking at used one.

[forescott]

Yes, it's an awesome boat! I got a used one for 650. I love it!

what drive system are you running? any video?

[carbow]

Everything stock except for Octura X452 prop from DasBoata.

I'm in the same boat as you PAWW ( pardon the pun ). I've adjusted the strut and battery position a million different ways and it is still bouncing terribly. Can some one share a pic or two of their strut placement? Here a video of mine, it does the same thing no matter what adjustments I make, glass or chop, don't make a difference.

John block sand the bottom raise the strut see if that helps

Does anyone know if Proboat has a replacement in the works to replace the Zelos 48?

I really like that size boat.
