        Made some runs. Still was too rough. We've had some really bad weather other the past few days so I'm not surprised. It's still went 70.1mph tho. Here's some video still stock

            I would like to add. I went through two sets of packs yesterday. This is a very fun boat to drive. The two times I did flip it, I knew better but I went fast into the wind anyway. The wind was very strong yesterday and I'm not surprised it flipped and didn't learn my lesson the first time. Just couldn't help it, the boat looked so planted that I felt like it was going to stay put. Well at 70+ it's probably packing a lot of air so the inevitable will happen. I suppose in the 50-60mph range its Easly going to handle rough conditions. I'm impressed with how smooth and flat this hull handles. I've taken a liking with this hull. I'm really anxious to do a high end build on one. I think this thing is capable of some serious speeds with minor upgrades. Hers some on the water pics

                      It's going to be interesting to see how these run with the bigger motors I installed in mine. Rafael, haven't you tried yours with the IM31 motors already??

                      I mean, seriously... 70mph AND flips and it's still in one piece? Haven't broken one yet, so we haven't gone fast enough, right?

                        Darin, No I've been too busy to try the impulse motors in mine. I have them, just haven't put them in there yet.

                        You're right, we haven't broken a boat yet, even cracked the hull, so we need to push them harder **those of us that didn't pay for them, unless you don't care if you crack one you paid for**

                          Well I thought I'd have it painted before my surgery but I don't think that's going to happen. I leave in 10 days and I'm having a bit of fun with it right now. I want to take it to the next level on the next outing by trying different props. I forgot them yesterday.

                            Trav, I'd be happy to babysit the zelos for you if you need me too!

                            Thanks for all the info and videos as usual, this looks to be a great boat and the running attitude looks awesome.
                            I've been going back and forth between the 36 and 48 but the 36 might just make more sense all around.

                              I dunno. May be a good idea buddy! I may try that out. Running into the wind was just an error on my part as it looked quite planted....all it takes is that one little gust!

                                I bet you would! I'll have some ore info for you guys in the next few days. It's getting dark much later now so I can go to the lake after work. I've got three props left to finish up and I'll be ready to hit the water again.
