Excellent run. I thought the video was going to be some kind of music video at first. Then the boat came out. Looks real good. Too bad ya didn't get any video of the Elam. Maybe next time.

just got finished soldering leads shrinking and fan cooling a new esc, and cleaning out the hull. its ready !!! next sa/sui ill try it again!

Music, sweeeeet music!! Congrats brother, she is a raging success!! Now that my rudder works at high speed, she hops on me too. I was trying to get her to roll over, but no dice. Hoppy but stable. I am psyched man this is awesome, can't wait to see her in person. What C rating are your batts, might need some hotter dumps with that setup?? just an idea.

killer run congrats looking to next one

Temps were good besides the batteries, they were at 170 deg f THIS IS TOO MUCH RIGHT? MOTORS WERE OK, AND ESC'S AS WELL. IM LIMITTED ON MOVING THE CG BACK , BUT IVE GOT ANOTHER 1'' SO ILL TRY THAT. IF THAT ISNT ENEPH ILL CHANGETHE STRUT'S ANGLES. I THINK THIS WILL TAKE SOME OF THE LOAD OFF THE ELECTRONICS AS WELL( BATT;S)DOES IT SKIP IN THE TURNS DO TO THE WEIGHT?

[Jeff Wohlt]

Not bad at all! Yep...put the CG back 1/2" at a time.

I think I was more impressed to see you walking on water....wow! You could be the chosen one!!

[Rumdog]

Looks awesome! Maybe try to loosen her up a bit. Move the cg back a little, or try a little pos. strut angle. Looks pretty damn fast to me though! I'm sure it can handle more prop too.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPJaS60_Ytk THIS IS THE FIRST RUN, NOT THE BEST ANGLE TO SHOW THE ACTUAL SPEED . IM UPLOADING THE NEXT RUN RIGHT NOW WICH HAS MORE OF A SIDE VIEW! HELLP ME OUT, I HAD HIGHER EXSPECTATIONS OF SPEED.....

[egneg]

Well ....

[wolf IV]

allright, miss elam decided to wet her pants and let water in the hull , via water inlet.. she puffed the esc. the good thing is shes settled down right before, and she is F A S T !!! BUT THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MISSSSS MARITIMO.. SHE IS PIST!!!!!!! ILL LOAD TWO VIDEOS. SHE SEEMS TO LOOSEN UP A LITTLE TOWARDS THE END OF THE RUNS DUE TO ( LIPO HEAT). IM THINKING OF BRING THE STRUT ANGLE UP JUST A TAD, AS I FEEL SHES RUNNING TOO WET. BUT SHES HEAVY AS WELL.SO IM NOT SURE. I DIDNT RUN EGNEGS PROPS, BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID OF LOOSING THEM DUE TO SHAFT PROBLEMS ON THE BENCH.THOSE PROB'S ARE SETTLED NOW & NEXT RUN WILL HAVE OHHH, 2' DEG. POS ANGLE AND EGNEG'S PROPS. I THREW IN THE GPS BUT IT LOST SIGNAL...KINDA CLOUDY HERE AND ALL THE CARBON IN THE HULL DOESNT HELP...I THINK SHES IN THE 50'S TOWARD THE END. ALSO WHATS WITH THE SKIPPING IN TURNS? MY CG FEELS RIGHT, STRUT ANGLE WONT HELP THAT ? WILL IT?HELP, THIS LITTLE GIRL WANTS TO BE LET LOOSE..man.. you tube takes for ever!! its gonna take a couple hrs..
