Thanks man. It’s been a joy to buildThere's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still... -
got a whole bunch more stuff. batteries, and program box, plus some other crap. after the battle to solder castle 6.5 on, i finally got to program the esc. what a pain in the dick this 160 is. took me a while to figure out how to plug it in. the instructions are terrible. now i got it all programmed, and now i have to connect it to my receiver. not really sure what I'm supposed to do, because opt the 1 extra wire. dunno if it needs to be plugged in or not.ill upload some photos shortly.There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

my radio is a tactic ttx300, 3 channel. i wasn't planning on really using the 3rd channel for the added features on the esc. anyone know if i just hook this thing up as usual and leave out the 3rd channel wire?There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

I wouldn’t worry about the extra “turbo” wire, just set your timing with the box and you’ll be good.

I have the 160 and I don’t use the turbo feature. I do have the single wire plugged in. But I think you can get away without it being plugged in.Comment

thanks for the heads up guys.
i was just adding up all the paypal payments from this build and OMFG! this is stupid. $1500.
i mean, i didn't have to spend that kind of money, but i guess why build something from scratch and put just any ol stuff on it.
thats including having to buy a charger and power supply and everything i need, since i had sold off all my old stuff 3 years ago. but cripes, when i started this build i guess i didn't really think about just how much this was gonna cost me. i really hope it stays together on the water lolThere's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

Got a chance to run today finally. After 8 months lol.
Water was a bit choppy, and I was anxious. I tossed it in and hit the throttle. First it nosedived as hydros tend to, then pooped back up and I hit it harder and the boat got up on a plane. I gave it some more and off it went.
I’ve had plenty of fiberglass hydros, but none compare to the sound of a wood kit smacking the chop. Boat is a beast! Everything went a ok. No issues whatsoever. As soon as I can get some vid I will.
I barely hit full throttle I was mostly 3/4. Just feeling the boat out now. Plenty of juiceThere's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...Comment

A quick shot from today.
Ran again tonight and water just had like a 1” chop. I was about 3/4 throttle most of it and just running laps, with some full throttle passes and it’s damn fast.
