    No dont ever use that setting just run it normal the esc will last longer and you will have more fun plus with that 4000Kva motor and that prop you said you have you will have your hands full try running the boat to the left with an easy hand until you get used to it and have your weight slightly to the back just a little so the front end stays up a bit the boat will haul freight trust me and no more than about 2 degrees on the strut angle try almost flat with the bottom and see what happens oh yea easy on the trigger that little thing is going to rip watch my video of the bob kat on my blog.

    Sorry about you loyal followers of mine but duty called and I had to fix the Church's cordless microphone they dropped it and everyone yelled praise the Lord (They all thought it was the rapture), See these model building skills are great for other things as well (just keep it a secret or you will be kept away from your modeling) LOL

    I use automotive paint that you have to mix and then clear coat over it with ppg shop grade clear which uses no reucer so it doesen't lift the other paint, you will need to be carefull with that one of your's but it looks sharp I cut my finger on the picture of it on my computer. LOL

    I gave up on hatch bolts because you really need to tape any way to keep the water out, I tried making a gutter all arount the hatch to channel water out to the back and everything the hatch being taped is the best. but dont pull the tape stright away from the hull pull it back along it's self as it reduces the surface tension of the tape and reduces the chances of pulling off paint (painter's trick when taping stripes) go out and have fun
