yeah I will I'm going to sell the 2 4s packs I have and get me 2 3s packs

[Heaving Earth]

Yeah you should be running two 3s packs to get 6s

[Heaving Earth]

Well two 2s packs is gonna be much slower than two 3s packs "shrug"

[Zackthrills]

No i have two 2s packs I'm going to put in it. as I almost made the mistake and put two 4s packs in it.lol I thought when everyone was saying they were running6s that they had two packs in there.lol that would have been a melt down

[Zackthrills]

I'll tell you the difference with having a big boat going those speeds is pretty cool. It looked amazing on the water. so my goal is to get this boat as fast as I can possibly make it run and keep practicing with it while I build or have someone build me a nice Genesis boat

[Heaving Earth]

So you are going to run two 4s packs?

[Zackthrills]

all I know is the boys had a great time doing it. I also plan on having the Geico 17 up and running within the next day or two. And will post that video and I think it will nasal lot of people how fast I got the bruhed motor boat to run with its new brushless setup.

[Zackthrills]

yeah the only thing is the batteries were only have charged because I had to get out to the day before I drove it with the boys. So I'm planning on putting the 4s packs in it tonight and my leopard motor should be in any day now.and I'm going to have the new drive shaft in it also with the new esc 180 turnigy

[Heaving Earth]

That worked. Looks like you got about 30mph there

Ok ill do that

[Heaving Earth]

Put the video on YouTube then post the link

[Zackthrills]

well I talked to guy I met the other day at the hobby store who races RC boats and he showed me a few tricks 1 is shaving down the rudder edge to making it almost as sharp as a knife and then taking the edge off so it doesnt vibrate so I did that then I went ahead and rounded the front of the rudder bottom of it as he told me he said that would be good for an extra 2 miles per hour.and I went ahead and got my 2 3 cell lipo packs ready to go so that way I can run it again tonight.I am trying to post the video there any other night but I'm having a hard time for some reason as I think it might be because I'm trying to do it from my phone. Anyone know if I'm right and if I have to do it from my computer or can I do it from my phone I have a samsung galaxy s 2.

The fastest I got mine was 67.9mph and it ran fairley stable if I had kept it I think I could have broke 70 but its harder than it sounds to get that extra few mph's
