My Formula "Fun Boat"

[Gary]

Boat went two back to back 59.1mph runs tonight and is still nice and stable. I think i will leave it right there!!!

[Gary]

OH BOY...so i go to the kake today to try a modded prop . Boat doesnt change much in the speed and goes 57.0mph but is a little more smoother. So i think to myself "I wonder what 22 volts would do instead of 15 volts". Boat was a rocket and went consistent 70mph!!!! I will post a video soon. Here i go again. LOL !!!!!

Tony, you are a trooper, Jan will fix that SMALL problem with the ESC by sending an epistle to Joe Ford and stating this man has done a heck of a lot of promoting for your products and a replacement at no cost would be appreciated.

My day went well . Did not pass 70 but decided to leave it a mid 60+mph boat. It started blowing over and fliping at 70 and i dont need another boat like that so at 60+ it always comes back to me. On the other hand the ESC i waited for went up in smoke trying to program it on the bench in my Yellow SAW hydro. I was really disapointed and now im waiting yet again. I really need to try a cheapo esc and see what happens. Anyhow im pretty sure i can fix your smoked ESC. A little solder and JB weld and she will be as good as new!!! LOL. Douggie......that smoke from the train scares me, it lokes like mine and Propercopper's Hydras on a fast pass . LOL { And cry at the same time}...Good Times !!!!

My FE Vegas likes to run perfectly propped down in the mid-fifties. Propped up to 60 she gets squirrely, so I'm leaving well enough alone. The H&M's a different story; modded sponsons & all, I'll be pushin' it up.

I'm trying out the Seaking 180 - 180 A continuous, 360A burst claimed. $115 bucks with programming box, shipped. [Sailr on this board sells them]. We'll see, since CC claims, every time I call them, " Oh, a few weeks on 240's"

[Gary]

Let me know for sure!!! That 360 amp burst seems a little wild !!!!!!Turnygy also has a 200 amp esc that handles 2-12 s for 190.00 with no water cooling and is a pretty big unit but for a SAW run that would probably be ok with no cooling i think. I would really like to see some 108-110 mph passes with my hydro before the water gets hard.
