I tried to run today as well and for some reason couldn't get my ESC's to sync and turn on together at the same time. I calibrated the tx and made sure everything's plugged in correctly with fresh batteries all the way around. Still no clue why the left ESC turns on and arms 6 seconds before the right ESC arms. Any idea why this I happening guys? I am trying to program the ESC's and they get into a different sequence from one and the other. Strange stuff lol.

This happened to me quite often, I realized I had my plugs in the receiver backwards. I guess a polarity issue? Worked today flawlessly just couldn't get a decent river run.

I went run it this evening. I did a water pickup test to see if blocking them off helps speed or not. If your interested in the results, see this thread. http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...p-drag-testing It's worth checking out. Here she in is all her glory on the water. Drool.





And here's the first test run. You'll have to see the other thread for run number two.

Wow that looks killer man good job!! I figured out what the problem was with my boat I had to rebind it and now it's working on the bench. never had that issue before and wish I would've read find it at the lake instead of just recalibrating the radio.Hope to take her out next weekend make sure she's good thanks for your help. I think some DAsbota props will be ordered soon

Nice work Travis. Very nice work! Looks so striking out on the water. That paint is awesome. To think how it looked a while back all split apart.

Thanks fellas. I'm very happy with the outcome. I wish the boat came in this color. I'm so tempted to buy a new hull and paint it this color except strip it and do an inlay and reinforce it well and see just how fast I can make it go. I must be honest, I'm really not trying to make this thing go any faster. I'd be heart broken if I damaged it. I may get to doing some more reinforcing to it. With a motor swap I could easily push it past 90.

It does look good! What ABCs are you spinning? Any thoughts on a air dam for 90+? Im planning on knocking off the gelcoat and painting anyways. While its bare Id like to cover all basses and mold in anything that will help (reinforcements/airdam etc). I do have another hull to experiment with.
