    Beauty start to a day. I love the early morn runs. She is hooked up well in the corners and the paint rocks there.

    Beautiful boat. Try moving batteries to the front to stop that wawawawa. Also the rudder length will affect it too. If you can source extra rudders try cutting some off. Before you cut it shorter tho, here's a trick that's helps me a lot, I do this on all my boats now...I sharpen the bottom of the rudder to a v shape. Try that first. Like this

    Ya I had it running pretty smooth but testing a different prop for top speed. I'll try the rudder shorting and sharpening as well. But heat racing at 64mph smooth as can be.. I love this boat..

    What motor and kv are you running? It doesn't sound like it's revving the same as the Castle's we're using.

    Oscar, are those slots swept straight or upward forward the bow?

    Hmmm. Here's what the 2028 with the same kv sounds like. What prop are you using? I'm using a 6515 cut down to 3.6in and am able to complete a race using 6600mah with 25%+ left after mill, 6 laps and a cool down lap. We're running in the upper 60's heat racing. If I'm not mistaken, Jesse J and Charles have the same motors in this video. I heard Jesse's got one of my old boats upwards of 75 now with the same setup so next season's gonna be fun!

    Ya mines a 50" hull with 3"overhang. I was working with Jesse for a minute try to get mine setup as close to his. I've got a 2028 I was going to test it in that boat. Is 3.6"the total pitch?

    You guys are getting me excited,that is great racing with the larger hulls. I have a 2028 sitting here and Andy is going to need a project soon. Special R-42 perhaps or are you finding the Thunderbolts a bit better Oscar ?

    According to the watt ratings these motors are about 10hp.. in the R-42 it'll fly but don't get in back wash..lol.. it'll REALLY FLY..the large 50" hull plows threw and I never have to back off

    I have an F41 and Charles has an Aeromarine Conquest I belive in that video. Jesse was running a mono and he now has a CC Storm.

    I was running a octura 460 then Jesse said he was using that voodoo prop witch is a 4" pitch in didn't know he cut it down. I test it with a octura 665 witch is 4" pitch in that video. Ran ok. Temp was good.

    Is there such a thing? I've bought/sold/traded so many props over the last couple years it's not funny. The f41 is my biggest cat, so I wouldn't know what to suggest.
