MC Handling question.

It's not needed at all on a stock setup.

If you can't flip it you aren't even close to it's potential top speed. Even with the stock motor and esc!
FT Try an airdam to keep it from packing so much air into the center section, a piece of windshield wiper may be enough.

I will give it a shot. So attach it to the bottom and how far back from the "front" of the boat would you put it? or right at the front?

Thanks

I'd try as close to the front as possible, some 2 sided tape should work. Never tried it on a Crew, one of the things I'm trying on my SAW cat next time out.

So who's gonna tell me about this air dam? What is it? What does it do?

Like a "wing" on the back of a nascar or other race car, but this if for the bottom of the boat. Its to keep a little less air from going under the boat @ high speed and keeps it from lifting.

My MC will flip at WOT if even a slight gust of wind hits it. It wont flip if its calm but it does get pretty squirrely if its choppy. It hops around a bit at the back but it NEVER looses control completely. Its a super fun boat to drive this way. I know its right on the edge and I've saved it from going right over at the LAST second more than once. I can see how more power would certainly put this thing on its lid no problem. But the way I've got mine setup, its every bit as fast as i want it to be but still stays on the ground... as long as those rogue gusts of wind don't get me at the wrong time.

I'm going to have to get a video of mine running. Either it's super slow or I got lucky as heck on my setup cause mine seems glued to the water. If someone with some knowledge could evaluate it, that would be very helpful.
Also, did you sharpen your rudder? I have, leading edge and bottom.

[pavmentsurfer]

I havent sharpened my stock rudder but I have an SV27 rudder with the built in water intake to put on it and I'm going to sharpen that one before i install it.
