Looks great............very stable. Only thing i can notice is that it doesnt sound like its revving out, you have alot of prop on it, what are temps?

You may try a smaller prop just to see if she revs out..............x445 or so.

[lenny]

Thanks,
Temps are good, cells 95f, esc caps 130f, Motor 120f, On 8 minute run.
The pond is to small, But at my back door for testing.
I will try some smaller props and should see some more run time to,
Just wanted to see what it can handle in big props.

Keep in mind that you are running in winter water............probably 40* or less, the temps can be deceiving..........If you have a gps get a reading with the 646 and an x445.............bet there's not much difference, or the 445 may be faster.

I will try both props with the gps to see,
My best times and best speeds were with a s230 props so far.
I need to go to the bigger pond up the road for good speed run test.

That looks good Lenny,you still on stock hardware off the back?

[lenny]

Yes, Just a little modding to the strut and turn fins.

Hi Lenny,

I have just started my Shockwave 36 rebuild. I removed the middle stingers so I can move the batteries closer to the center bottom next to the motor. Question: Did you cut out the radio box or leave it?

Hi,
No, I did not cut the box out,
Still kinda stock inside, I have bin just running it like it is.
I still need to do body work on it and paint,

Thanks for the reply Lenny. I went ahead and cut the box out. I always waterproof everything any way.
