    Thanks. A lot of work and tests to achieve this speed. But one final test it yet to come. TP 4060 1650kv.

    Did test leo 1800kv and 8s, that actually inceeased the speed. Many props were tested. 1600kv is more powerful I guess.

    The hull is reinfoced with carbon. I dont think the stock hull would survive a fly off. The reinforced have already survived three of them

    A lot of work and tuning I know. I have been tweaking a TFL cat for four years to get it where it is. But I have two Pursuit hulls and love how they run. Not sure how fast they are but just fun!

    Actually with the same motor, only this time with longer throttles, so I guess the GPS measured more accurately. Now I wonder if the hull is not made for more speed than this. 78.3 mph went perfect, but at some point I guess the hull has to fly
    But of course, I have to test the TP 1650kv as well.
