I know that JPriami on this forum has a Dragon Saga which is the same boat as the Ekos fitted with Fiegao 380s 9XL on 4s, stock 70amp escs & 40mm props hit 61.5mph. I know its not an Ekos but it gives some idea as it is the same boat. Martin.

66 mph here.

oh sweet!
how are these hulls at these speeds?

[bill1473]

Mine blew over @ 55 mph but i had my lipos all the way back and down in the hulls,and the drives all the way up. It was doin a wheelie b4 it happened. It looked coll. I wonder if my props are too big. I just finished cleanin up a pair off 447.

Anyone know of a link i could download vids and picks from my i phone?

Try an air dam across the tunnel to reduce lift. Martin.

I have a few pics in my album. Look through the Venom RTR section here for more pics and videos.

62.5 mph was the fastest so far from mine. 4s 9xls x442's with stock esc's.

Paging Keith Bradley... He just built a wicked EKOS.


I've broken into high 60's and run mid 50's reliably in Das Boot. (twin 32" cat - same basic hull)

[scubasteve95]

keep it under 60

been running this boat on 4s for over a year and doing 55-58 average,flipped it, submarined it and still going strong no cracks in hull ---yet---
i think if you keep the batts out of the sponsons you will be just fine at those speeds......i also think 447's are going to be to big...good luck just the same,
but if it feels right ---doit
o yea i think larrydrifter it still the king of shaves @66mph but forscott was right behind him.....
did you get that thing back together larry????????

[bbosncali]

When you guyd say 4s is that 2 2s packs or 2 4s packs? Jurt trying to compare it too my 6s 2 3s packs?

[LarrysDrifter]

Steve, I got it back together, then trashed the hull pretty good during a blow over. Now I have a 32" hull from Fightercat running 81 on 4s on GPS. I'm done with the EKOS.

[scubasteve95]

2-4s and larry whats you config??? still 9xl with 442?
