Looks good! You say that you are running 4S1P and not 4S2P? Also, how much were your packs drained after those runs?

Love my Rico (pic in avatar)

No vids yet... I did get a 2nd place finish in B/P-Mono and a 1st in Open FE Mono for the weekend at the Dist. 12 points race (#4) in Centreville, VA a few weeks ago!

Love my Rico!!

Brian I can't believe you already have it in the water ! It was a pleasure building that boat and it's totally great to have somebody like you that can enjoy it and share with everyone! Thank you and thank you Doug for giving me some of your 2 lap record boat pics to help with designing this model . Turned out great ! Looks like u can go a little higher on cg and would be cool to see faster speeds through some turns …greAt job look forward to seeing more vids going all out once u get er dialed !

Fabulous boat to drive. Mine can go the full throttle turns on 4S but in its current setup on 5S I run loose and fast for SAW racing.

The great thing is 10 min quick change and I am running 4S round the cans at full throttle.

It is my most versatile boat for sure.

Cheers
Andrew
