Boat comes in loaded at 13 lbs. Am real happy that all this work paid off and it made my night....and a winter that will not end, I am in CT,LOL.

    I was having blow overs at 93 mph and said screw it....put 1.5 oz on each side {inside}of the sponson tips and at the last minute before I taped the hatch down put one more ounce up front "for the hell of it". I hate adding weight but I also detest blow overs. Well she loved the extra weight.
    My only problem is I am using my new 2.4 gig Futaba setup and at the furthest distance I will loose communication. I am not loosing control of the boat but the ESC is beeping telling me that I am and I assume it happens at the maximum distance from me . I sent her way out on these run's also. Antenna is at max height and I hold the radio up a little as soon as the boat passes me. Does not seem to be a major issue but I will poke around a little with the receiver.
    Hey good run,, you got more speed with your new SuperSport45 hydro.

    No Phil ! YOU got more speed! Boat is solid and water tight on the hull. It is defenetly a little looser, AOA, and is why it is faster.
    Another great build of your hull because of you...THANK'S !!
    Rol.... power is a NEU 1530 2,200 kv, 6s and a Mamba 1/5 ESC water cooled.

    I have no idea. Would love to do a SAW event but between the Rc Heli's, Boats and "Real" car racing that would be stretching things a bit. So the boat is just personal fun....that i take to far like everything else.LOL

    you could fit a saw run in as there would be plenty of notice when the event is on. you should do it.
