[MAMBA2200]

well took it out to try it out and i must say i really like this boat handles good seems fast i had 30mph winds yesterday so i was just feeling the boat out mostly didnt get to crazy with it i had already flipped my revolt earlier her is a vid i made driving and filming at same time you can hear that wind blowing set up is seaking 120 tacon 3674 1900kv 2 pole motor with a m445 prop and 4s still got low 40's and could not open it up

[MAMBA2200]

im getting allot of lift on this boat on glass water i have the strut down even with the bottom of the boat and the hop starts do i need to lower the strut more or move the batteries forward more

[100 mph jet boat]

i would try moving the batterys

[MAMBA2200]

ok will try that first i had to fix the trays the other day they both came loose so i re epoxied them down and completely covered them in velcro for just that reason tomorrow is my day off if the weather is good gonna go run it some thanks jet boat

Raise the strut up. It's too low

[MAMBA2200]

raise it up will that not lift it more

[dana]

No. Your prop is too deep. Just try it, raise it so the bottom of the strut is about 3/16 above sponson bottoms. You'll see the difference

[MAMBA2200]

OK thanks again dana

well dana it didnt work well for me i flipped my boat twice in less than 10 min i moved the strut a little at a time and never could get it to stay down i did get one good pass got 52mph but she was about to flip then also i just got off the trigger b4 it did and i played with the battery placement also to no resolve i dont know what to do now got any more ideas

[100 mph jet boat]

im still new to the rc boat world and not shur if this is a problem with rc boats
but i would check the bottom to see if it has a hook in it

when you raised the strut did you keep it level or did it give it some poss. angle???

[MAMBA2200]

well if it had a hook it would pull the nose down

[dana]

How far were you able to get the strut above the sponsons?

[100 mph jet boat]

dose it just ride bow high or it porpoising

nose comes up hook set's it back down and the air picks it back up even higher then it drops then even higher tell blow over

[MAMBA2200]

How far were you able to get the strut above the sponsons?

a good bit

dose it just ride bow high or it porpoising

its bounces for first 30ft and then settles and then just lifts till its over

[100 mph jet boat]

whats a good bit?? 3/16, 1/4, 5/16

is it level, pos. or neg angle??

what is your COG set at ?

im shur Dana and others would know better, I just trying to learn something here

[MAMBA2200]

i had it up a good 1/4 cog is about 30%

[MAMBA2200]

here is the video of the first run

[100 mph jet boat]

what is the strut angle?

also just for sh and giggles put a straight edge on the bottom and see if you have a rocker or hooked bottom

[MAMBA2200]

no hook angle is up not sure a perfect degree but its angled up should i raise it and level the strut by bending the stuffing tube

[100 mph jet boat]

raise it to 3/16 and make it level with the bottom of the sponsons, yes sometimes it's necessary to bend the stuffing tube just go easy

raise or lower the strut will raise or lower the stern of the boat, angle the prop up or down will raise the bow up or down
so if the prop is angled up it will pick the bow up

[MAMBA2200]

3/16 above the sponsons

[100 mph jet boat]

i fixed it

I set the boat flat on a table then roll a drill bit under the strut

note all settings and what changes it made and do 1 change at a time

it takes time to get it right so dont get upset with it, as to me doing set up stuff and checking speed and handling is the most fun

[MAMBA2200]

ok thanks for the help

[100 mph jet boat]

think of it as you would for them Sweet STV's
