No step 1 - the search for speed

[Jesse J]

Here is the fruit of a recent trade. Went out yesterday evening and found the pond empty (except for some birds), then threw in a pair of 3S in parallel, taped er up and gave her a toss.

I'm guessin mid upper 40s. Pardon the vid, I was driving through the view finder, and yes it did go under on the third turn...

[Jesse J]

Someone has said she looks wet, I don't agree, what do you guys think?

[Jesse J]

I think I found a little more speed. The first part of this run was on 3S2P and gave a good solid 40mph. then I went for it. threw in 4S and cinched down my hat. holy crap I made the pond get small quick! This is definitely the fastest mono I have driven !! Thank you Meniscus!!!!!

Here is vid.

Jesse, raise those turn fins so they don't drag in the water. Also keep them as swept back as possible. They may look a little silly, but will perform better with less drag in the turns. Meanwhile, when they're raised, they shouldn't touch the water on the straights.
