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

[Darin Jordan]

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!

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.

This is NICE!

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!

Nice run... cant wait until the Veles 29 becomes available....

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.

burned 66 calories standing there piloting the thing too...

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??

[rayray9]

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.

Nice run Mark. I am looking forward to getting the Veles 29 when its available.

[MADRCER]

Thanks VP! Looking forward to it as well.

[MADRCER]

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.

[rayray9]

Have you opened the software program for the Dynamite GPS?

[rayray9]

Thank you

[Zondar]

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

After install try rebooting your computer.

Nice run Mark. Hopefully we can both get to Schaumburg next weekend

This thread is sooooo off topic
When is the actual Veles going to be released?

Thanks. Holiday weekend extra day to run!
Ya this veles needs to come out soon. Like to start hearing some feedback

[MADRCER]

Got my shipping confirmation today!

[fweasel]

'bout time. I saw one on eBay, so I assumed the container finally hit this week.

[vinnyp]

Just ordered mine from Horizon. Should be a good boat to mess around with.

[MADRCER]

Right on VP! At last a boat that doesn't require any upgrades from the box to go fast except maybe the flex cable... I say that because I snapped one of the Factory Geico 29 cables and one Kintec shaft while using the 3831 motor on 6s. So far the OSE cable is holding up well. Does anyone know if the Veles 29 cables are made any stronger than the normal Pro Boat factory cables for the BJ29 and Geico? I heard of a few people breaking on the UL-19 cables also.
