The Elam is more stable but that's because its so much slower. I've ran these both at the same time against each other on the same pond. The UL-1 has a problem turning into a sub when trying to get on plane but when it does - its gone! So for any of you who are planning on changing out the motor or ESC in the Elam, i'm really interested in your recommendations. I would love to have a much tighter race between these two!
Just curious... what props, batteries, etc., were you using on these two boats?
The UL-1, with 2030KV motor, and the Elam, with it's 1500KV motor, are going to require much different props to make each work...
I suspect the Elam likely needs some sponson work as well, but I'll have to get one on my workbench to know this for sure...
Would sure like to see them come out with an Oberto in this style of boat!
