    Terry,

    Another Geico racer, I like it!

    I've had the best luck running my packs flush with the end of the trays (transom side). Sometimes hanging them an inch off the back works well. I'm running Hyperion 25C 5000Mah packs.

          30%, neutral strut. Strut position is going to depend on prop. ie M445, 1/8 below sponsons. Will take you 2 minutes and you will be racing fine. PLENTY of time to tune. I set one up just like this about 4 minutes before a reace a few weeks ago and it was dialed perfectly. Again, this was using an M445. Diff props require dif tunes.

            Ok..where should the COG be with the stock prop......

            I am very confused...some guys run with the batts all the way to the front of the trays, others all the way to the back

            Thanks for the help

              Nailed it. It aint my first rodeo.

              I was back about an 1/8 of lap from Nayman all day. He couldn't pull away and I couldn't pass him. He'd kill me in the turn with the deep vee and I'd catch him before the end of the straight. Way fun. Had a heat like that with Fred too. Took me 8 or so laps to get around him.

              The boat is absolutely awesome. The design is stellar IMO. Typical beaten with a bag of nickles looking, mass production, bottom. Put a gob of time in there.

              All in all I'm extremely happy with the boat.
