I think this would be a valid and profitable exercise
      Typical Aussie moron, there is no radio just an RX..read the specs. I doubt that it will be offered as a hull only, but you never know...the copycats will be all over this hull.

        Great to see you can lower the class of any thread, rx is part of the radio system last time I thought about it. the Tx does not do much with out one.

          And perhaps this will defeat the splashers as well

                After running my new Stiletto, I have found that the throttle between 3/4 and full makes no change to speed. Using a spektum 3S. Does the Throttle Travel need to be at 0 and trim at B25 to get 100% throttle? I'm running with B100%. Batts are new 2s 5300 25c.

                  perhaps the manual details 'calibrating the throttle' ?

                    DX3s manual of no help. Pro boat manual states program transmitter or ESC but no info. Ordered Programing card for boat but looking for info on the forum first.

                      The throttle might need to be "calibrated" by:
                      holding the trigger at full throttle, plugging in the ESC, waiting for the beeps and then releasing the throttle.

                          What sticker?

                          BTW, I took her to the pond last evening...

                          ...I need a bigger pond now.

                            New Stilleto-I just love the looks of this boat/quality is excellent. Little programing is all it needs, I think!

                            I tried calibrating the transmitter. Same 3/4 throttle. I ordered a programing card. Feels like the boat was programed to the Logarithm mode described below? When set to Logarithm mode, the ESC
                            delivers 45% power at half throttle and
                            80% power at full throttle. The Logarithm
                            mode is suggested for first-time boaters.

                            Question? The hatch attaches with two dowels in the front. After a run when I remove the drain plug some water comes out (not alot but enough) is this normal ?

                            Can the Stilleto handle a grimracer 42x55 metal prop?

                              I wonder if you adjust your EPA on your radio to 120% if that would help? If it is how you mentioned, I see that as an error on Proboat's behalf...Most people who have purchased this boat would have experience & proboat are making you purchase a module that would only be used once to change the one setting, the throttle curve.

                                Not sure what EPA is on a radio. I have a Dx3s surface radio. I'm thinking adjust the throttle travel to 120%. Correct ?
