Hey guys just got a Miss Elam and I finally had a chance to run it today. She runs good but the front end feels really light. It gets a little squirrelly when it gets up there in speed. Would some weight in the nose help this out at all? I'm running the stock set up with two 2S lipos. Thanks
Miss Elam set up?

I'm running a balanced and sharpened 442 on it right now. Seems to be the prop of choice. And the battery compartment is so tight already, I don't think I can get them up front anymore. I may add some lead weight to the nose and see how that works?Comment

put a battery in the side opposite the turn fin and the other one up in the capsule area in front of the motor with a piece of foam stuffed up there to hold it in place, try it and see what you think, it made a huge difference on my boat!!too much power not in the FE racing dictionaryComment

Thanks i'll experiment with this set up also.. The boat gets really loose so hopefully this helps.Comment

Sorry Jeff just saw this! I still have her and she runs great but still stock. The moving the batteries around helped a bunch, but now i'm thinking I want to try and go faster. Have you done anything to yours? I'm thinking about replacing the ESC with the swordfish and running two 3S lipos and seeing if I can hit 50 mph. Doing some research now to see what people are doing as well.Comment

No worries I have not had a chance to run mine yet.
I just finished getting it ready to run and had it out one day for testing but was having some servo issues and couldn't run it unfortunately.
What setup are you running on it?OSE GIFTING ELF

Well finally ran my boat the other day and it ran great very fast and stable.
A little hoppy in choppy water but with a little added weight up front I know it would settle down some more or just don't go all out with it ran very well.
I am going to update my build thread on it check it out for more details on my build.
I moved the esc in the cockpit and left motor where it is.
Batteries on both sides and stuffed as many cut up pool noodles I could fit in each sponson.
Running a Ul-1 motor and a 443 aluminum fightercat prop wth a Ul-1 strut.
First time out was very pleased more testing and I bet I could run with the Ul-1s no problem looking to be at top of pack with local Ul-1 and proboat class.OSE GIFTING ELF
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!Comment
