    Finally- 100.9 MPH

    Well I have been hunting this for awhile, been hovering in the very high 90's for a bit now but I got Chris(Dasboata) to 'tweak' my fave props and got 98.2 on Sunday morn. I did a couple of little things such as adding DuraLube oil to my flexes and shaved 5/8" off the rudder and wala = 100.9mph on about my 4th pass which is the one in the vid here.

    Awesome! Congrats Shawn! Perfect water conditions! Now if Mother Nature could just get rid of some of this ICE down here!

          I wish I could say I did! The 59" Outerlimits is waiting on an MTC rudder from "Chermany" and the 92" RADTEK still needs a bank roll! Hahaha! Getting close on the RADTEK though.....I'm going to do an inlay of CF with some pizzazz to match the Lehners and MGM's purple color's. About $170 worth of material though to cover the entire inside from tip to stern. The Outerlimits is getting a similar inlay to match the MHZ scorpions but considerably cheaper due to the size difference! The cost of the Lehners and MGM's left me in a wheelchair! Hahaha! Trying to grow back all my limbs now! Seriously though, I was able to pick up a few excellent deals on batteries from Kieth and Brian from Rocket City gave me some awesome discounts on hardware with his points system so I'm getting close. I'll be posting some picks soon so be on the lookout!

            I'm all the way to the right in the black "100%" coverage of lake Erie....

                    I hear you on the costs, still haven't started the HPR yet. But this is one goal closer.

                      Awesome Shawn. Now I want to dust off my Fantasm and see what she can do.

                        No Trav, i did not. that oil in flex trick is a keeper. I'll have to thank Andy for that one.

                          A little competition perhaps? LOL
                          What was its best previously?

                            93 and some change through the lights. I have more prop to go though. I picked up a FG hatch over a year ago so I could use a GPS. Still haven't run it again on 8s.

                              dont it feel much better to increase your speed through tweaking instead of voltage increases?
