    Sitting her drooling right now! This thing is really nice. I'm going to swap in a high-quality Digital servo, replace the ESC to Battery connectors, and go race!

      Miss Veles 29 v3

      Only one color option? Maybe a red one down the road? I had to try this motor prop combo on my MG29 v3.

          Looks like its running pretty wet. I don't know where your strut is but you may want to raise it so the bottom of the strut is even with the bottom of the pads. Speed wasn't bad when compared to a stock V3 hull, but seems like you can air out that hull a bit more and get some more speed.

            Ran the boat again today and I can actually say I believe I got her close this run and I am pleased with 65.7mph for now. Big THANKS again to Dasboata on the excellent prop work and to the Pro Boat Developers for getting it right on this new motor. It is Awesome!

                Fast!
                But why not stand somewhere else ?
                Seems to me you picked the worst place at the pond.
                I would never go flat out if boat is heading towards me,you can not see whats happening!
                Not my boat but.....this style of driving wil not end well
                Tape the hatch.

                  Thanks! I agree it's not hard to tell what's going on from that spot but I was in a hurry and there isn't no place to park on the side of the pond. so you have to walk a little and carry your gear to get to a place that you can actually put the boat in that is deep enough to run in. I was trying to beat the rain storm that came in also. Some areas of this pond are very shallow so you just can't run anywhere on the lake when the water level is low.

                      Sweet. That motor esc & prop are going into my DF Pathfinder 28. Just BS&P the prop. It's very nice.

                      What batteries did he use? 4S or 6S??

                        Little wind & chop, great run for an RTR if only a prop change.

                          Thanks rayray9! Yes, RTR with only the Veles/UL-19 Motor and a s&b 1716 prop by Dasboata. Here is a little better video that you can tell a little bit more about the run and set up.
