Found the steering issue. The servo mount popped loose at three of the four corners, so it was twisting. I grabbed the rudder a bit ago w/ the hatch of and turned it and didnt hear the servo turn, and quickly noticed the whole servo turned. I modded a standard vertical mount to a low profile, so it only has 4 small footprints touching the hull. Ill try adhering it again w/ more epoxy but may have to replace the mount to get more contact area. At least its a simple fix.

Got to race it today. Other than my stupidity it ran well. Upon launch I felt something wasnt right. Spun a few quick passes in front of myself to be sure all was good. Didnt see a lot of water flow. Brought it in and checked it, I though it seemed ok? I was right, it wasnt. Yesterday I decided to swap all the H20 line out and forgot a piece. working on too much at once and too many interuptions. So I flooded the hull. No damage done excpet for my pride. Second race went solo as the other Stock Twin Drive I ran against had some electrical issues and DNS. Waiting for Bill to post the vids on his you tube page and Ill post up a link.
Meanwhile, heres a little still I took of it today.Comment

Bills uploading them now. Had 2 good heats of lso with the single drive geico today as well. Gutsy moves and driving it hard is what it took as both the other boats (mean machine and motley crew) both had a speed advantage on me.Comment

Heres the Popeyes twin. I DNF'd do to drowning out electronics. Ive got to move my cog just a tad forward. She wants to float a lot. This run was on some older Turnigy 30C 4000mah packs. I hoped Bill got the 2nd solo run but he was getting a boat ready for the next heat. I ran it on my new Gen Aces and wow what a difference. And definitley showed it needed a cog shift as it almost blew over a few times. Bow got pretty high up there.
And I didnt say they got the best of me Jerry.
I just had to drive it hard. Heres a little off topic vids of the two LSO heats today. My MG vs RCkongs MC vs Hebners MM
Just before 3 min gets exciting on the first vid

Thanks Shawn. I had a good driving day. Yeah offshore heats keep going and going and going.
As for the STD race, RCKongs Apparition is running UL-1 motors and 442 props. SO he sounds like he is screaming. As I said, Im running Proboat 1500s and spinning cut down 447s. He is a bit faster than I was, but Im curious to see by how much after I tried the new batts. Oh and when my hull isnt filling w/ water. Boy there was a lot.
Hopefully he chimes in here, but I think hes running a fairly new set of Gen Aces. Ive made a few adjustments, corrected my water issue and am ready for the course again. Unfortunately thats two weeks away. But next weekends the real deal Offshore Powerboat Racing so Ill survive.
