Built a rudder from scratch to eventually replace the steerable drive. epoxied the sponsons and repainted the bottom (I am a terrible painter). just fun. really is an addiction. great fun boat.
One thing that I find interesting...... the 24 does not wah wah. so many ppl on here have 29's with this prob, but, all the way up to my fastest time to date (45.6, 5s, x642, 1500kv prb) this boat won't wah. Not that I am complaining, I like that the boat sits and goes with no jumping. just wonder why the 24 doesn't have this unwanted characteristic.
The one and only 24" geico I saw on video wah wah so bad I couldn't finish the video. Worse than any 29 I've ever seen. Maybe you got lucky? You say you modified the sponsons, that could be why.
32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) was
Miss Geico on my mind
. I replaced all connectors with 5.5 bulets, X642 prop, pro boat card and turnigy 2s 5000 Mah 2s1P LiPos. Still working on the bounce but it's getting better each run. Running for about five minutes hard. After five minutes of hard running the batts, ESC, connections and motor are all barely warm.
This is my first ever FE boat and this has been a blast. I havent GPS the speed but I would estimate roughly 40 MPH with a fresh charge. Thank you all for the wealth of knowlege especially in the "MG race set up" and all of the other threads.
You guys helped make my first FE boat a total success.
