My Phil Thomas super sport 45

[Gary]

I wish my boat was that clean , thats really nice! After a dozen crashes, hitting things in the water, meltdowns and repaints Mr. Phill Thomas would lose his mind !!! I even have gone as far as painting the bottom a nasty floresent orange so I can see it better when going for a rescue mission LOL !!!

[Gary]

Just had to update! This morning boat ran 98mph twice with 96 backup runs. Played with cog by moving batteries back to lighten the front up some and shortened the strut a little more and a little more prop work. Almost there!!!! I will try for a new video.

Hey Gary you are about to wear that boat out going too fast. So what is the setup now? how much power do you use to do that.

[Gary]

I told you Phil...........I wont stop till' she sees 100 !!! LOL ! Its a 1527.5y , Castle 240HV, X648 prop, TP 5000 - 18.5 65-130c batteries. I would have gone this morning for my atempt but my poor dog got sprayed by a skunk!!!! at 3 am so after that nightmare there was no way I was getting up early this morning . I will shoot for thursday morning. Again like I told you on the phone.....you make a FANTASTIC hull !!!!!!

[Gary]

Thanks Stan. You guys still running?

Gary,

We haven't hit the water yet this year but its definitely time to grease the flex and charge the lipo's. Let me know when and where you plan to run again.

[Gary]

Just had to bring this thread up again. Boat just went a 103.5, 103.0 , 102 and a 100mph this morning at 6:00am. Ran absolutly perfect and never skipped a beat. This has made my day for sure. I might try again for 105 Sunday morning and will try and video the run. Phil Thomas....you make a FANTASTIC Super Sport 45 hull....could not ask for anything better. And she stays togather during those "Am I a plane or a boat" moments !!

[Rumdog]

That is awesome news Gary!! Gotta love those hulls!

[Gary]

Thanks Rumdog. Its been a very long uphill battle but well worth it. I gave it another try this morning with camera in hand and not only was the water a little choppy but two guys where fishing so no go. Might try this tuesday before work.

Just an update..... Boat just pulled a 104.8 and a 105mph early this mornig and ran perfect. Back up runs where 105 -105 with another set of batteries so she is spot on!!!!!!!!!!! ESC may be a little hurt because thermal protection is kicking in at 160 degrees for no reason but all good just the same. Pulling 365 amps with a motor rpm of 44,500. Tempted to leave it alone but 110......so close LOL Good times.
