I thought I posted a build thread on this boat. Guess I didn't because one wasn't to be found. Anyway, I'll just post some info and pics about it and not a whole build thread. And a video from today.
I ran this thing a couple times. First time out on 2s it wouldn't get on plane. lol. Was disappointed to say the least. Was supposed to do around 50. Then I tried 3s. I think it went like 34mph. Lmao. Turd. Then I put in 4s. A whopping 47mph then snapped the flex. Wha?
Well the strut I had just wasn't doing it. So I had to machine a Speedmaster one I had down a lot smaller. Works perfect now and no binding. The other strut was getting super hot and I didn't know it till I bench tested it the other night. I was looking to get around 75ish on 4s with this little thing and I nailed it today on my first run. This is going to a fast and fun little dude once I get it lined out. Had a small prop on it too.

I don't know why but I have a thing for small boats like this.
