    Rio and hot glue 44 mph.

    Hot one today at 100f hear,
    Running Rio with a few more tweaks to it and hit 44. mph.
    Little to hot for my hot glue holding the motor jacket to the stock motor mount.
    But it did good today and had some fun in the water.



    New and better video with a little more hot glue on top of motor and mount.
    And running on an old 3s pack.

        It's called theory of relativity. To me your video is OK, you did not hit the tree and beached the boat, maybe it's the hot glue that's finally getting to you!
        I will be very happy if my video would turn out looking like that, Good Job!

          Thanks Tim.
          But you could be right about the hot glue.
          Just got done with the Rio hot glue motor mount again and feel much better,
          I am all set to run some tests again tomorrow.
          45 mph coming up and a good video doing it this time.

              Man congrats on 44mph Hopefully mine will get there soon. Was that only on 3s I'm not sure if I should set mine up for 2 2s packs or just one pack.
              I would like to set it up for both but I don't know how I could lay that out any ideas? That video looks ok I wondered why you where tilted down so much.
