    Just curious on the setup. Still running the two piece flexshafts? What was the prop size? ABC?s? Thanks

      My flex shafts and abc props are both custom by Chris Hoffmann (dasboata on here) No specs are given on the props due to a few that wanted to disrespect us after my Zonda hit speeds that had never been achieved before in a RTR/ARTR boat. I ran the stock flex shafts to 106 or 109mph They did fine except for on one run a bullet nut set screw came loose and after that I swapped them out for the dasboata shafts. You can run abc props on the stock shafts and I know guys say you can't, but you can if you change out the large TFL drive dogs for the small octura dogs. By doing that it will allow more room for the longer hubs of the abc props.

          Here is my latest run making the TFL Zonda "The Worlds fastest RTR Boat" (running factory stock electronics). The boat hit 113mph by the gps devices and the props used were from Chris Hoffmann (dasboata). More to come!

                Thanks Chris! Now its time to go to the big area to run....I've maxed this lake out and not enough room. The boat keeps pulling mph but I have to let off early. Should get a couple more mph fairly easily. Only need time now...

                      Worlds Fastest Zonda @ 120+mph (on stock electronics)

                      The Worlds fastest TFL 41" Zonda (on stock electronics) hits 120mph+!! One gps got the boat at 120.7mph and 123.6mph on
                      the other. The osd datalogger got the boat at 119mph. As I let off the throttle the rudder snagged a limb and broke the rudder breakaway causing it to roll. I was able to dry the other
                      gps out and have a short video of that at the end. Huge thanks to Chris Hoffmann (dasboata) for the Awesome set of props!. More to come!

                          Thanks Appreciate that! Out of respect for Chris and his business he and I discussed that the specs won't be released on these props.

                              Chris sells every single prop that I run and test for him. I just honor our mutual agreement and keep the specs just between us. I suggest you hit Chris up for details on ordering and pricing.
