Have you blueprinted the sponsons yet? This will help a bit. If you also try to modify the transoms of the sponsons so they are closer to 90 degrees the water will not try to stick to the transom(s) as much.
Adding weight forward or pushing packs forward may also help.

Blue printing helps. Before it bounced at half throttle with lipo forward. Check out second video with battery at the sweet spot. It seems bounce free, winds was about 14 mph.

Your fighting a losing battle. That hull packs a lot of air. Your going to spend lots of time tuning it. First thing I suggest is a method of recovery. Your going to have lots of blow overs with that hull. I recommend building yourself a recovery boat. Then, you need glue everything in place on the inside of that hull better. On about my 10th blowover it all came detached. I think it's held in with Elmers school glue lol. You cannot run into the wind..blow over city right there. Angle your prop down a touch at a time. You'll lose some speed for the same throttle input but it looks like to me your not giving it full throttle much anyway. What prop are you running? Mine liked an x642 and an m645.

what I'm getting at is, if the prop is too large and/or too depp, it can really dig in and want to make your boat a plane.

My strut is about level with the sponson and I raised ot an 1/8 up so it dont touch ground. How fast do you think im going in video?
Senior Member
Is there any one out there with similar problem? Is the the same case with blackjack 29?
Senior Member
Know what. My boat probably is ok. In both video's its windy and I drove my boat in the wind. It is suppose to flip. I will take the advise and try smaller prop. Anyone in the NJ area wanna race?

Raise the strut up to like 3/16 and try. You'll prolly gain speed and handling.

Interesting.ill try that. I love that m447 prop. Can you answer me on my question of how fast do you think my boat is going.

It hard to tell cause you don't hold full for long, but 50 or so maybe... Can't really tell

I run mine with a 645 prop up about 1/8th(SK 180 and Castle 2200kv on 4s) . I like running it level with the sponsons too but it is way loose. So with the bigger 447 prop 3/16 should take care of it. A tad more will really settle it in the water. It really depends on conditions. AND never peg a cat into the wind, there will always be that little gust that will catch it.

I was actually going to put in a jet engine to my boat, to help her with take off. I was going to add short wings on side to control my lift I guess. FLYING GEICO 29.

Does the 41" Zonda cat have same problem?

You don't really need the cap bank for 4s. Mind you it can't hurt either. Try to keep the contacts as close to the ESC inputs as possible. Spin it around 180 from picture. You can get her to keep in the water and rippin
That has twin 950kv TP 4050's, a Flier twin 300 ESC, and 'click' stingers. That vid was on 10s2p. And the hull is a Fantasm, Zonda, same thing.
