Did you have bigger props and did you keep the rotation inside like stock ?? Look like the Zelos mod get hard time to drift corner like the stock does !!! Rafael tell that his mod Zelos with 3 blades didn't drift like stock too !

water temp 85 and esc's and motors 35 higher

I ran my zelos last weekend with X447 props not detounged and 1mm downtrim on the struts. She ran beautiful! the water was very calm. definitely faster than stock props. temps of the electronics around 105 degrees. I think the amp draw is much higher than with stock props because my battery became unsoldered. (I had to swim ) So I will detounge my props to lower the amp draw. I just need to find someone who does that because I don't have the tools to do that.

Hey man, I thought the same thing but these guys can be persuasive at times. I detounged mine using different grade files. It took a heck of a while (maybe a few hours) to get the tongue out but you wanna take your time with them anyways. After that it's just a matter of sharp, balance, sharp, wet sand, balance, sharp, balance. Lol

I found these to be awesome for polishing. I went 600 grit, 1000 grit and then these.... https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0058...=polishing+pad

I just purchased a Garmin Forerunner 201 to help track max speed.
I'm having a heck of a time trying to get it set up to track my max speed. Can anyone help guide me thru the set ups?

You have to have it on bicycle mode

[Keagan-Z06]

Yeah and you can customize to add different metrics to a page. I usually use max speed, altitude and distance.
