    wow just ran my veracity on 6s and its a beast out of the box. handles way better than my spartan no chine walk even at full throttle.. i am curious on what prop you guys think i should try out to get more speed. do you think the x648 is too much? or should i just go one stuep up and do the x646 i have already upgraded to dual cooling lines and seaking 180 esc.

      I would sharpen and balance the prop that came on it. Set the timing at 15 degrees (only with a 180 amp and up Esc!!!) and it'll do over 60. I would not use a x648, that prop pulls a bit more amps. I'd detounge the stock prop also. What most of you guys fail to realize is the prop that's on it is plenty. It's just needs some work. If you don't know how to work a prop, contact Dasboata and tell him you want a m645. I have another prop in mind but I won't recommend it until I know it'll work. Stay tuned because when I get mine I'm doing a sort of test thread on it.

          I like the way the x646 looks, but not how it performs. In back to back testing the m645 was a bit faster and easier on stuff. I wouldn't. If you going to buy a prop, I'd get a m645. It will unload the motor some and you'll pick up speed without any negative effects. If you want to hold off for a couple days, my boat will be here Monday and I'll let you know for sure what prop it likes. I'm going to baseline the stock prop. then I'll s/b it to see if it's worth it. I'll also try a few different props I have to see what it likes. I've got lots of props so I'll do the work for you guys. I have to and you have to keep in mind that the stock setup is meant to work with the prop it has and we cannot add anything more aggressive so we don't let the smoke out. So I'll be doing what I do with that in mind. I have a feeling the stock prop is probably one of the best choices for it (it really is a good prop, just needs sharpening). I'm going to tell you this, I've tried raw props vs a sharpened prop and I can tell you depending on the casting, it can be a big difference. Stay tuned and I'll test the stock prop s/b.

            Couple questions....

            I would like to program the ESC to lock out reverse. The Voracity manual says that this can be done with the transmitter and to refer to the DYNM3875 ESC manual. The ESC manual only says that this programing can be done with the programing card. Does anyone know the procedure for programing with the transmitter or if it's possible?

            Both the ESC manual and the Voracity manual say that the motor should get the cooling water first, then pass it to the ESC and then out of the boat. My boat came set up to cool the ESC first and then the motor. Which way is best?

              Tx programming instructions below.


              We must have missed the cooling instructions during the manual proofing. Looks like they used the same template as the Impulse 31. On this boat, keep the lines going to the ESC first. On the Impulse 31, it doesn't matter.

                It's been believed that it's better to cool the Esc first. I always run my lines this way unless I just can't. The motor can tolerate more heat than an Esc can, usually.

                  Reverse can weaken the shaft

                    Reverse is pre set at 1/4 throttle, and can not be adjusted any higher. That is not RPM to damage the flex shaft, under load. Removing it is personal preference.

                      You guys have Raphael working on his day off! Lol. How's that for service? This gentleman is very passionate about what he does. Proboat needed that. I don't think you could find a better person to fill his slot! Very impressed! Now go enjoy your day off Raphael! :)

                        Haha, thanks Travis. This is one of the perks of carrying the internet one's pocket; I can answer questions poolside.

                        No trouble at all. It's my pleasure to be able to have such close contact with our customers. I feel customer service is as important and making quality products. As a customer myself, I can overlook issues with a product if the company does whatever they can to make up for a product's downfall. Customer service is what's kept HH alive for 30 years now.

                          Now I'll rework the stock propeller and see what I get.

                            Great info! Thanks guys and thank you Rafael for the instructions. I'll have to try shifting my batteries forward a little..... Ran the boat again just now and had a blast.

                                I like to run mine with the batteries pushed all the way towards the back of the tray, right before the left battery touches the cooling loop on the ESC, but this may be to loose form some drivers. This allows the boat to ride closer to its CG. If the boat gets a bit bouncy with the batteries towards the rear, adjust the trim tabs down about 1/2mm at a time, untill you get the bounce out. This should let the boat run a bit dryer, lower temps a bit(less friction), and get the speed up some.



                                BTW, the motor and ESC have 12g wire. Someone asked a few posts back.
                                where is the CG on this boat from the transom
