The bounce..

[bbosncali]

Man I must be blind but I appreciate you trying.... All I see is the different smiley faces then manage pics ect....

I think I know what your talking about but how do I add?

[bbosncali]

I can post pics but I made my battery trays out of plexiglass

Yeah I cut the end where my rudder is on an angle and I can fit almost any size prop

So did you move your trys or are they just longer than the stock ones?

EDIT: or the same and i jsut cant really tell

[bbosncali]

Not sure if they are stronger i did move them a little back like 1/2 inch but being lower makes a world of difference. It lowers the center of gravity I actually move my packs back now and as you can see from my video no hint of going over

Wow thats rippin.I just took mine out for her maiden(stock).I have a 1515 for her and curios where you got the motor mount.A couple of us have been looking.Thanks in advance for your help.

Fightercatracing.com but you will need to buy the leopard motor mount and buy a seperate cc ring which he sells unless its a neu motor then the leopard mount will work

So that didnt work at all.. i cut the battery trays down a bit and move down as far as i could and the bounce was completely still there. I was going to get a video but the camera died.. I started with the batteries back then moved them way forward when the bounce didnt go away. I dont know what else to do..

So I am still running the stock power system in my boat, I had tried my x642, grim 42x55, and the stock prop at many strut settings. No help with the bounce, it went from bad to really bad. Finally put on a M445 and all of the bouce went away. I also have my batteries mounted all the way forward on the trays, not exactly sure where that balances at but it seems to work well.

So from stock and up to today, I had the best results with 4s +offset and stock motor + 642.

I'm waiting on the m445 as of now ,and the 42x55 for 4s. At first, I tried all kinds of strut + battery adjustements but with no luck. With the 642 and my 2s 4000 nano's I managed to find a good spot, and wery little bounce once the water got some ripeling.

I had one run with my new x642 and it there were little wahwhas even if it was choppy, i´m liking this prop :)

ok....sit your boat on a level counter etc......rudder off edge......do your sponsons sit level on counter? .....is the strut level touching the counter? if not loosen the nut and adjust it.....try the balance point at about 9.5 inches from back of the transom......if bounce is still there, try to move balance point back or forward a half inch at a time that should help some anyway

[lyndon915]

So my current setup with no bounce has the centerline of the strut even with the bottom of the ride pads, I am running the M445 prop and an otherwise stock setup with some extra flotation in the boat. My current ballance point is 9 in forward of the back of the ride pad, that is 11in from the transom. I really think that we should be balancing this boat by measuring from the ride pad rather than the back of the transom as the transom overhangs the back of the ride pad by a few inches. Should we not be measuring the CG from the part of the boat that is in contact with the water?
I will try to get some video of the boat tonight as this setup is working very well for me.
