    What are you thinking this will do with more prop, 80?

      O I think it has 80 in it with the stock electronics and a prop change. I've seen 10+mph gains with abc props over similar octura.

        Travis, that would be so cool if you can get that out of this boat !

          We are gonna see. I don't mind pushing the stock stuff to see what it can handle. I've got it almost ready for tomorrow to run it again. I need one more stock baseline (I think it's got a little more in it stock) before I start changing props. I can't make it to the lake today but I will tomorrow. Stay tuned.

                  I was hoping you didn't mind. Meant to text you but figured you'd be glad. Trying to make sure everyone sees it as it has much needed info.

                        That looks great man, I can't wait to get mine. Rafael I hope another boat doesn't come out anytime soon. I haven't even gotten a decent run on my 1 month old Voracity and these guys talking about changing props and what not.

                          Nice videos!
                          I'm planning to buy this boat but I'm a little afraid of flipping the boat in every run, I have miss geico and it always flips when the water is a little rough or driving against wind. I drive on the sea and need to use motor boat for fetching...

                          Has anyone tried to install a servo controlled front spoiler to rc boat ?

                            It would probably be a lot more work than it is worth to have it servo controlled. I think most people that install an air dam just 3M tape it in a certain position and leave it there. I don't think you will have an issue with flipping as much as your geico does. The zelo's seems like it stays planted to the water quite well, I think Travis was running his around 70mph in like 20+ mph winds

                              I also have the same boat, I got it about a week ago. I’m curious about the water pick ups in the bottom. Are they good enough to cool the motors and esc’s sufficiently? I’m only asking because I’ve only had the boat for about a week and yesterday was the first time I ran it hard. It ran beautifully, but when I opened the hatch after the second run and second pair of batteries, I got a slight puff of smoke come out. Nothing was melted or extremely hot so I just let it cool down. There is water in the lines every time I open it up after running the boat. I can’t see if there is water coming out of the fittings on the side though. I’m running 2 Power Hobby Pro Lipo 3S 3 Cell 11.1v 5200mah 50c batteries with 2c charge rate 50c continuous and 100c burst. The other 2 batteries are Arrow RC Pro Lipo 3S 3 Cell 11.1v 5200mah 50c with a 3c charge rate 50c Continuous 100c burst. I run these batteries in pairs, not all 4 at once. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I’m curious because I have a pair of custom props on the way.
