    Yes Rafael still stock electronics. Esc was 108 and motor was 80 degrees after a battery pack. I'm not sure how much more speed the zelos can take at 60mph the wind wants to get under the hull and flip it. I couldn't go full throttle for more than a couple of seconds. When the water is warmer I will be more daring. Just don't feel like getting into 50 degree water to fetch my boat lol

      I'm really glad to see that you're giving the stock electronics a chance, allowing them to prove themselves.

      As far as speed, I've had that hull over 65 mph, in early testing. I don't know where you're placing your batteries but that's why I made the trays go so far in to the hull; to allow for the weight it be shifted forward as the nose gets lighter with higher speeds. Of course, 8s, 2P helps settle the boat at speeds over 60 too.

      Glad to see you're having fun, but I hope you never swim to retrieve your boat.

        I have my batteries almost as far up front as they can go. What is 2p?

                    Ok maybe I was a little quick with my thoughts. Makes sense that a F.E. boat being made from a previous hull good business, boat is beautiful just to big for my needs.

                      Hope the next one isn't too fast, if that's even a thing.
