    Default Really having a blast with my UL-1

    What a blast. Plug it in and go. Simple and a blast to run. I have been working on prop selection and placment to figure out what works best for the UL-1 and how I want to see it run. So far temps have been in check with high 90's on the motor, 115's for the ESC and Batterys hovering around 125/127. Have not put my Garmin in this one yet but i feel it is getting into the high 30's/low 40's and it can take wide turns at full speed with no issue. Real fun boat.

    Wade, you must sharpen and balance this prop well otherwise it's a bitch to make it work.
    Rc2266, I also tried the m445. It was really fast but completely out of control. The boat was all over the place.
    Personally I prefer 50 and stable over 55 and wacky

    Did you have to cut out the hull for the Batts? New to the UL1 scene.

    Did you seal the holes you made for the batteries?
