Once it starts ta bouncing it just wont stop until its either over or throttle is off and it stops and settles. Just so narrow and thin. I have to admit this is comparing to a BK Bandit I have. I tested and tuned for just over an hour and ran 2 sets of packs. Like I said, more time was spent untaping and recovering then driving:). There may be more left in it and I will give it another go soon but maybe I am just spoiled on German hulls... Maritimo, the Bandit, Drifter.
Bouncing is trim adjustments. Had the same problem in another cat I had. Adjust strut depth and keep the angle at 0 to start with. If I remember correctly w/ mine. Too low and it would twist and bounce as if it were trying to bounce from one side front to the opposite rear. Too high and it would just bounce evenly, like bow hop.
No need to start another thread......you're welcome to post anything and everything about your experiences here. This way we all have a compilation of the pro's/con's all in one place. I have been extremly busy at work lately and also building out a Drifter S for "Bigpapa". As far as I am concerned he's the customer and he comes first. He's paying so I'm doing.........
BTW Todd if you see this the Drifter is coming along nicely. I had the wife helping me out last night doing a few odds and ends to the hull.( If it runs funky its her fault) J/K

Hey bud, any updates on this build?
Catching Air!
Will take some more pics of work so far. Working slow on this boat. I have been into the larger high voltage boats lately, 40+ inches.

Thought I would add a couple pics of my skunk cat
I have the SV motor and esc in mine
It too had a bounce in it but if I held on wide open long enough it would settle out
Got the paint idea from nascar
Boat looks good. You got any video of this thng running? I've noticed this boat needs to run a little wet to get the bounce out. In all the props I tested the ones that had more lift ran the best.
Very nice eboat, i to have a skunk but its still in the works..
No vid yet
I am setting it up to run in the LSO class and we run for 4 min races
I tried the X442 and it was bouncing and just could not get it out
Changed the COG and the strut height and angle
I put an X440/3 on it and it does bounce a little but if you hold it wide open it will get over it and really take off
