    Did a GPS run with some CNC props lol on 7S and got 88.5 mph.
    Next run will be 12S And with some decent props that I got from Chris, should be good

    Haha, my pond has an annoying curl to run into too. I need to find a lake with a ‘point’ to run off of.
    That is a nice spot to run though. Looks like it’s long too.

    Ooo yea it's about 1 kilometer long and 250 meters wide approx, the downside is that it's salt water so I bring 5 litres of fresh water to wash down and flush the setup as soon as I am finished.

    Ahh, saltwater. I have not contended with that as of yet. Keep her clean. Thought I heard rumour of Boats being faster on saltwater. Difference in hard and soft water too. Just rolled off the top of my head this morning, haha

    Less prop slip on salt water & hull is more buoyant as well, cant say in terms actual speed difference as i have never checked speed with a gps on salt v fresh water. I run mainly on salt water, when we used to take our same boats & props & ran on fresh water the boats always appeared to be revving higher but also looked to be slightly slower.

    I agree totally, my first run In fresh water seemed more prop slip compared to salt water running

    ZTW has the worst customer support. I went to there website to update my ZTW Geico programmer and it locked up the programmer. Then I contacted them to see if they could help me and got the response to contact the place I bought the programme from. I told them it worked fine untill I update the firmware and they did not respond for a few days. I contacted them again and gave me a big FO.... I have 3 ESCs and the 2 programmers I typed to update no longer work. I would go with anybody else but them. Never had customer support like that. Rude the whole time.

    No new runs, its been either to hot 42 degrees Celsius or very windy, its ready to go on 12s and i have three props to try
    Yes there is reverse.
    From memory yes it does i turned it off, don't ask me why you would need brakes

    Im going to get one for a speed run RC road car so brakes is a good thing. Just need to get a small pump to circulate some ice water through the ESC.

    I use the Castle XLX for speed runs cars it's got data login and it's just awesome I have run 144 mph with it no sweat
    My personal opinion, I wouldn't use the ZTW in a car ....

    Well I’m not sure but it sounded like a prop came out of the water mid run. Unless that was the prop coming off, but the rest of the run did not sound like or exhibit a sign of only one prop working. They usually take a dive right or left when you lose a prop (or worse). Perhaps it let go when you let off?

    So what KV or more importantly what rpm do you figure you are running. I’m just curious as I also have a set of AB 447’s on my HPR 115. I haven’t given her the coals yet.

    Lol, that was on loan those props , I have a custom set from dashboata to try, it's a scary looking prop lol.
    Yea 108 is fast but she has more in here, the motors and ESC were luke warm.

    Saw your recent videos of the 119mph runs. First off congratulations on the speed and being Australia's fastest Catamaran!
    Any plans to move up to 14s?
    Still liking the ZTW ESCs?

    There is no data logging with the ZTW 300 is there ?

    Which ESC would you think is the strongest the Swordfish 300 or the ZTW 300?

    ZTW of mine is working as it should.

    Thanks for the reply I am running a F-41 Stryker Cat with a SSS 56-104 1000Kv motor on 8S2P oval racing I was wondering if the ZTW 300 would be strong enough. Right now I am finding out what the motor will handle in prop. I have a MGM 400-63-3 with a big cap bank But it is borrowed from another boat and I do ot want to have to take it out Saturday boat that night and install for Sunday boat.
