    Water time!! My Pursuit 4s back up runs. The two runs I made today were 57mph and 56.8mph. Not a 4s PB but close. The boat picked up right where it left off last Fall an running pretty decent. Thanks to Chris Hoffmann (dasboata)for the Awesome prop!

      5s pass (70.4mph)

      My TFL Pursuit gets into the 70mph+ club once again and this time only running on 5s. The boat got 70.4mph by the Garmin and 69mph by the gps data logger. The wind upset the boat just enough to make it get a little out of shape at the end of the run, but you can clearly see by the data logger video that is at the end of the video that the boat got the max speed 1/2 through the pass. Thanks to Chris Hoffmann (dasboata) for the Awesome prop!

            So I'm going all out crazy on my Pursuit. Running 9s 5000 milliamp hour battery and a Chris Hoffmann prop three-blade and a 300 amp ESC. I got up to 74 miles an hour today and it took a skip super fast and submerged and touched the bottom. Luckily the damage isn't too bad . I reinforced the hell out of this hull after its last crash on 6s which nearly ripped the hatch off when it pulled out stock battery mounts and motor mount. I have the CG at about 33% and the strut neutral as well as the trim tabs. Anybody have any suggestions has for maximum stability at high speed for a mono? I'm going to try moving the batteries forward quite a bit as right now they're backed up almost touching the motor and I figured a few degrees of down angle on the strut would be a good idea too.



            Thanks for the help everyone this is pretty darn fun
