Dang, I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy a Castle Hydra, I hope that will be sufficient for whatever I want to run on.

Get the Castle with the "Data Logging" it will really open your eyes as to just what is going on inside your hull.

You allso need a "Castle Link", my Castle XL2 ESC came with a coupon for a free Castle Link, you will need a usb wire however.

Already have the Castle Link, I use it with the Castle BEC in my highly upgraded Summit 4X4 RC truck. So that will be a great feature, the data logging. I love that kind of stuff. Just thought I would use this also as a chance to show off my highly upgraded Summit, lol. photo 2.jpg

right on man!
saving cash on a esc that works great leaves more cash for lipos = more fun time

I really would like to add a mono hull to my RC "collection", which right now is just my MC and a Summit.

I love my GrimRacer 2s 5000mah Lipos but I recenty bought 4 packs from larry's Performance. I bought 2s 6000mah 35c and WOW they not only last 3+ minutes longer but there is more power and higher RPM. I'm shocked and did not expect this. The roostertail is clearly much high and much longer than my GR. They were $49.95 as opposed to the GR at $77.99 each. so, lets see how long they last and well they continue to preform. :-)

Hi Guys,
I have been following this thread as I am tryin to set up my MC for maximum performance. I have learned a lot from this thread, thanks.
Can you guys tell me what you mean when you say set your CG % first before anything else? I assume you mean Center of Gravity but I want to be sure. If this is correct.... How do you set it?

THANKS!!!

Move your batteries toward the back (transom).
tecknicaly it is not C.G.
it is P.O.B. (point of ballance)
But Who Cares ????

Make sure you "storage charge" them each and every time. Do Not let them sit fully charged, you will be sorry if you do....
