    Default Miss geico 17 help please

    I have a miss geico 17 I modified to brushless. I put a leopard 2550kv motor in it. It's very unstable at high speeds on my pond. Can I put turn fins and trim tabs to help stabilize it?

    Front end bouncing? Or like rocking from side to side?

    It has a lean on one side but most likely a leak in the flush mount water pick up. It wants to roll though when you punch the throttle.

    Counterweight. Can you shift the battery to the lifting sides bit?

    The battery only fits one direction which is straight across the center

    I looked at the inside and it seems like the battery is held by Velcro and easy to shift a little one way or the other but I could be wrong if yours is different from the pictures.

    That's the correct inside view. I'm running lipo 3s 1300 battery. It's longer than the factory battery
