    Default *** NEW *** Pro Boat Veles 29 Catamaran

    For those who haven't heard, Pro Boat has announced it's new replacement for the MG29/BJ29 series of Cats.

    The new Veles 29 is a completely new hull design from the ground up. THIS one is truly a performance Cat, with excellent handling and overall solid performance. Hang on, because this one HANGS the turns!! Pretty fast too!

    Enjoy!!

    Sitting her drooling right now! This thing is really nice. I'm going to swap in a high-quality Digital servo, replace the ESC to Battery connectors, and go race!

    Default Miss Veles 29 v3

    Only one color option? Maybe a red one down the road? I had to try this motor prop combo on my MG29 v3.

    Looks like its running pretty wet. I don't know where your strut is but you may want to raise it so the bottom of the strut is even with the bottom of the pads. Speed wasn't bad when compared to a stock V3 hull, but seems like you can air out that hull a bit more and get some more speed.

    Ran the boat again today and I can actually say I believe I got her close this run and I am pleased with 65.7mph for now. Big THANKS again to Dasboata on the excellent prop work and to the Pro Boat Developers for getting it right on this new motor. It is Awesome!

    Fast!
    But why not stand somewhere else ?
    Seems to me you picked the worst place at the pond.
    I would never go flat out if boat is heading towards me,you can not see whats happening!
    Not my boat but.....this style of driving wil not end well
    Tape the hatch.

    Thanks! I agree it's not hard to tell what's going on from that spot but I was in a hurry and there isn't no place to park on the side of the pond. so you have to walk a little and carry your gear to get to a place that you can actually put the boat in that is deep enough to run in. I was trying to beat the rain storm that came in also. Some areas of this pond are very shallow so you just can't run anywhere on the lake when the water level is low.

    Sweet. That motor esc & prop are going into my DF Pathfinder 28. Just BS&P the prop. It's very nice.

    What batteries did he use? 4S or 6S??

    Little wind & chop, great run for an RTR if only a prop change.

    Thanks rayray9! Yes, RTR with only the Veles/UL-19 Motor and a s&b 1716 prop by Dasboata. Here is a little better video that you can tell a little bit more about the run and set up.

    Yes, that prop is almost identical to an ABC 1716 -17-45. I have both and they are almost an exact match except the PB prop is SS and mine has been rubbed on by Chris...Below is a picture of one of my 1716's

    Well mine has been rubbed by me, nana nana boo boo! lol...

    Stainless to me is a bit nicer because it holds an edge longer. Chris does very nice work, have a few of his in my box.

    I'll be getting some from him eventually.

    Lol! Like Chris said my batteries slid forward on me during this run causing the boat to run a little wet due to them almost being too small to strap in properly and I believe this boat still has more in it even with the Gens Ace batteries, once this issue has been corrected. Hopefully on the next run the Revo's will stay in place a little better due to their size matching the trays better and give me some more top speed.

    Nice run, do you prefer the Dynamite GPS or the Garmin?
    I have the Dynamite - converted to US / MPH

    Thanks! I have been waiting on that 72 mph run for a few days. The Dynamite has the fastest refresh rate of any I have tested and it has the logger feature. I had the Forerunner 101 in this run because the battery in my 301 was dead. The 301 is a little lighter and faster to respond than the 101. If you can get a 301 I would get that only because it displays in tenths but if not I prefer the Dynamite.

    There is a setting for timing? What's the quickest rate?
    I'm running Mac Book Pro, had to grab a Windows 10 to program this GPS

    I haven't had any luck with software link included with my Dynamite GPS. I could use some advise.
    On another note, are there any professional painters out there to revamp my CF Zonda 41"? THX
