    Nice run, and no bounce to. 6s in fun, but I got to tame my MG first.




    Here is mine with the kintec rudder,and all sorts of lipo placements and strutt adjustments.



    I had a look at you're site, and will try the settings in the 'RC BOAT MODIFICATION SECTION' . I will try to se If I an copy those( eventhough I think I have been there when testing in the video) and se if that helps. Going to try with the 642 tonight.

      Ok that's mean that according my sketch, the red line and the green line are at same level, without angle between them ? ( to insist but i want to be sure to understand well )
      Thanks again !

        I put som weight on the back of the boat to hold it down, then adj. so there was app. the same angel. Tune from there according to the handling of the boat - hope this helps :)

          How much weight are you using in the back?

            Not much.. just to keep it flat to the table..
            you can hold it down with your arm as well, if you can reach the strut and adjust at the same time.. :)

                Why are you using a separate 1600mah Receiver Pack in stead of BEC power?

                  Less stress on the esc since he's running at max voltage (6S)

                    Dumb question by why are folks using an additional battery pack instead of an external castle type BEC? Seems like it would be one less thing to worry about charging?
