Did not see anyone answer you Chris on the strut/out drive adjustment. looking boat right side up, tilt drives down to lower bow, and lift stern, BUT.. your using thrust to lift stern so less forward thrust. The more level props the more they push forward, and not upward.Zelos 36 stock 68 mphComment

I am trying to keep drives level for speed but it wants to blow over, and adding weight to front, only slows it down. Been reading post's and I like the batteries post of them being on the side, they go in 1/2 inch more forward, and if running 4 batteries you can do side by side instead of down the middle. also gives you room to relocate ESC'S forward changing the CG 1/4 inch forward with out batteries weighed. Also relocating ESC's gives you a straighter cooling route. Just a idea I'm trying :)Zelos 36 stock 68 mphComment

Receiver box upgrade
If you wanna replace that sad stock zelos twin transmitter/receiver (no offence) you can use this traxxas rustler receiver box (part# TRA3628) to waterproof your electronics. Use the existing screw hole and a piece of servo tape on the opposite side and it's pretty sturdy. All the wires reach perfect including the receiver antenna (using futaba/4PLS) it works great!Attached FilesLast edited by Chris VB; 07-31-2016, 11:21 PM.Comment

Do you have it bolted down by one Allen screw? It's the same box in the Spartan. Love that little box. Antenna passes through the top without issue.Proboat Voracity-E 36" , Proboat Zelos 36 Twin , Proboat Miss Geico 29" , Traxxas Spartan, Fightercat Daytona, ZondaComment

Hey 36ers.
Noted Darin's air dams back a little. Has anyone tried that and noticed results? Just trying to calm the 48's bounce and tendency to lift at speed as well. Had thought about air dams or airflow spoilers top and bottom as well. Thought I'd just ask you guys. If you think plane wings..... then I agree with Darin about placing them on top.PERTH AUSTRALIA
