Got a chance to pick up a brand new in the box never opened aquacraft Revolt 30. Has anybody used this in P limited mono and if so is it any good. I don't care if I win or place just want to have fun and finish the race.

The revolt is a very nice boat. I never ran one in p limited mono. But I can tell you it corners like its a rails.
I would suggest that you give the trim some negative trim. 2 turns negative on each tab. It can also run through chops at high speeds. That's with that tabs set right.
I personally have my tabs on mine around 4 or 4.5 turns negative cannot remember exactly.
I set my tabs with that much negative because I run a lot of power in mine. Example leopard 4092. I ran on up to 6s with a 1730kv leopard 4092 with a x642. And 5s with an m545.
I suggested 2 turns negative for you because p limited power is nowhere near the power I run and the boat will loose a little speed when it runs to wet.
You have a nice boat for certain.
Thank you for getting back to me so soon I appreciate the info.
Did you upgrade the flex shaft as I see the stock one doesn't hold up well. Also did you upgrade the rudder for dual Cooling.Quote:

I was given revolt from a club member. I also plan on running it as P limited mono.
Already swapped stock connectors to 5.5 on the motor and battery’s.
I need to get new linkage boot, new flex cable.
Are you planning on running 2 4S in parallel to make sure you get enough run time to finish a race?Quote:

The Revolt 30 is an excellent boat. I liked it so much I got three of them but none of them passed the bathtub test.
A little bit of silicone sealant behind the bolt plates solved the problem. Also 2x 2s 5000 mAh bateries in series will give you a 4 minute run without depleting the batteries to a dangerous level.
Where did you get your 187 cable from. Did you have to cut it to fit. And how did you keep water from getting in the hull?.Quote:

You will need to pull the Teflon tube out of the stuffing tube.
I ran the upgraded shalf that offshore electrics sells.
I bought a longer cable off this site. I cut it to fit and use grease to lube it every other run. The grease acts like a seal and helps keep the water out.Quote:

What eric113 said is correct. I used an Areomarine style but the one he suggested here will be easier and just as good.Quote:
