Raised the struts 1mm, slid the batteries back half an inch (still have an inch more) moved the garmin away from ESCs and hit 84.2 today!! I think for what ever reason the ESCs where causing interference. Boat is still not airing all the way out. Will YouTube the vid soon. [ATTACH=CONFIG]143246[/ATTACH]

was this with the 1515 2200kv motors running 6s ?

That thing scoots!
Where in the video does it hit 84mph?

Wow, super impressed to see this hull going over 80! Great job getting it there. Looks to be ruining nice and planted too.

Brian, sucks to see those props broke. May be time to step up to some ABC props and S&B them. Darin Jordan explained a baking process to harden the props. I'll try and find the email and post the info.

Not really sure.. I think right around the :40 mark.. Im still kind of timid with this setup. I find myself Nancypantsing the throttle. I feel it has 90 in it.

I've gotten really frustrated with my boats today. I spent all this time sharpening and balancing. Waited almost an entire month for ESC and packs. Zelos ESC's now give a single beep every second. Voracity servo seems jittery and ESC won't come to ready. I'm about to throw in the towel on this as I certainly don't have the patience to be troubleshooting these things.

It sounds like the trims on your TX aren't correct and aren't centered, so the ESC won't arm. Just a guess.

[Keagan-Z06]

Put back old ESC and the both ESC's come ready.

Voracity steering servo toast! Another month of waiting ��

Man thats all part of the hobby, things break and issues need troubleshooting sometimes, its inevitable. Why do you have to wait so long for parts? I suppose if your having this stuff warrantied that would make sense but I know I wouldn't wait a month for a $15 servo Lol
