Whoops!
Sorry, new to this forum stuff. I posted it on you tube. Here is the link.
I will figure this out sooner or later.

What kind of set up are you running to get those speeds?
I am all stock except the prop. It's a octura X640. 1 degree of pitch up. My battery is a 4200 mAh 4S, 45C Hyperion. Oh, and I threw a Tactic 2.4 reciever. But I'm pretty sure that's not helping it go any faster! Lol.
Speed control temped out at 86. Motor was 119 degrees. Battery was about 85 as well. Runs great.
Awesome boat.
Nice! That is the prop that I was planning on trying next. Where did you get the shim for the prop to fit onto the prop shaft?
I bought a piece of 3/16 tubing. Inside diameter is .14 or .014. Can't remember that number. It's the usual stuff at the LHS.
I also have seen them in the store on this site.
There is also an adapter that's supposed to fit the cog of the 3/16 props, and thread right on to the 4mm shaft. It's on it's way.
Here is a short vid of mine on 3s, x442. Steering rate is turned down, but still spins out real easy. Needs a couple of turn fins!
I love the sound of outrunners. Has potential that's for sure, some nice turn fins would def help.
That looks awesome, can't wait to get mine. Going to try running it on 2x 2s and I've ordered an octura x640 prop. Anyone got a water jacket for the outrunners yet, if so what size fits? Deffo needs turn fins I think.
This has the new outrunner motor. I'm running both, 1 and 2 pack configurations. I have 2 5000mAh 7.4 volt packs at 20C. I also just picked up a 4 cell 14.8 volt 4200 mAh 45C pack. That's where I got the 42. But now after 5 or 6 charges, I'm down to about 39.7 mph. Must have been just the new pack?? Either way it costs about the same. The single pack at 45C is a nicer battery.
It's easy to loose or gain 3mph depending on water current. You may have had a nice current when you hit 39.7 a didn't realize it. I've hit 47mph in my SV before, but it averaged 44mph with ul-1 power. It's in the low 50s now with a 7xl, also if your lipos are a little warm prior to your run you can gain some extra mph's that way as well, that's why some racers pre-heat the packs...

they look like they handle well
.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8s
If you use a 3/16 prop, then the 3/16 brass tubing will work as the adapter. I do believe it .14 or .15 in thickness.
I also used a small price of aluminum as a shim for the rudder strut. It raised it up about a 1/8-1/4 of an inch. I can now use the octura x640, and angle the stut all the way up without hitting. Before my adapter piece, I could only have it a 0 degrees.
I really really like this boat. The setup is sweet.
Hope this helps.
I have a thread titled rudder placement question with a pic there. I extended as well as lifting it, the extension was BAD!! Lost 9 mph with it extended. Just need to lift it.
