Prop UP!

RUNS NICE BUT THE WHILE....

[JackBlack26]

Looks great! I new the hull would do good with a reliable system installed. There seems to be plenty of room to prop up.

[TotalPackage]

Runs damn good

[Brushless55]

looks good bro!
let us know when you get a gps, I would love to know what speeds this setup is getting...

[djmaincheese]

Thanks guy's, what do you think for props. Looks the X648 and S230 are very similar (48 X 76). The batteries were at 121* after the run, is that getting warm or do I still have some room to get them warmer?. The motor and esc run cool at 85*.

[Brushless55]

how far down did you run the packs??

[Make-a-Wake]

Lookin' good Dean! That has to be the best running Spartan i have seen, virtually no wobble/walk and rides nicely!! Looks like it may be pushin 60!

[Brushless55]

dang, I may need to get a HV esc for mine now and run my CC1520 on 8s!

double post...sorry

Thanks, I ran the packs to about 900mah left in them.
They say 5000 on the sticker but they both charge up to 5400 so thats good.

JPriami calculated it to be 61 with his rc calculator but it's tough to say. I would really like to use a gps and run her on some glass.
It was very solid but at top speed she got a little squirly because of the slight chop.

I offset the left battery a little closer to the front of the hull and bent the right trim tab down to see if I could keep her from rolling to the right.

8S on this boat will be banana's

Now that's what I'm taking about!!! Looks good dean. Nice job for sure.

Thanks for all your help Justin, Im very happy, it took a while but it was worth sticking it out :)
