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

            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*.

                        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

                              see how your temps are if you bring it in about 30sec sooner
