The official 36" zelos twin modding thread

I was thinking last night, those props I had on there are the lowest pitch that abc has. I could go up one step and probably get 70 out of it and the electronics would still likely tolerate it.

Wow impressive. Those are 4050's correct?

Good job Travis

[baller69]

great job guys thats awesome.i too plan to run my twin cordova 2700 kv on 4s for testing then if all goes well i will go to 6s and if still well 8s per motor. yes each 2700 kv motor is built to handle 8s in this boat for a total of 16s but i have to start at 4s as all u know to make sure esc and battery temps and still also motor temps all are in check.just have to find a good area here in toronto ontario to find a good water source to run on!!

Shouldn't be that hard to find a spot to run it. Make sure to get a video or its maiden.

[baller69]

You should probably cut that stuffing tube shorter so you can wipe grease off the flex cable before it goes into the collet

Hey all...I can not get over 68 mph w/o blowing over and have lowered struts to lowest point and there both not even, not close. I know every hull is different, so I'm thinking hull is screwed, knowing and measuring the out drives measurements, to the hull bottom. I also checked the drive attachments, think my drives or the hull?

What do you mean the struts aren't even? Are you not able to use a straight edge across the last two ride pads to take a vertical measurement to the bottom of each strut and adjust both sides so that measurement is equal?

As for blowing over, how many batteries, what capacity, and where are they mounted in the hull? What props?
