Hope you guys don't mind me jumping in on this thread, don't want to start a new one.
I've read up a bit on the threads on this boat, but maybe not as closely as I should have :)

So I ran my Revolt today with a bunch of different props and could not hit 42 mph, 41.9 was it!

All my testing today was bone stock, trim tabs neutral, strut neutral, 4S pack as far back in the tray as it would go and the pad removed.
Tested using Thunder Power 1P4S 65C pack.
I have not scuffed the bottom of the hull yet, but I was running on some beautiful water today with just a slight ripple.

Tried the following props:
42x55
M445
X642
M545
M645
M647
All S/B/P and the last three were back cut.
After all runs the motor and ESC were nice and cool.

Why didn't I run faster ?!?!
Should I do what the club guys are doing, pull the strut and run a SV27 stinger centered?
Is there a magic trim adjustment I missed?

Thanks for your knowledagble input as always.

Here's a bit of footage from today with the M647...FUN DAY!!!!:

Tommorow I'm headed out to try to find my buddies DF26...somewhere at the bottom of Heart Lake :)

Put a straight edge on the bottom of the V, the bottom of the strut should be about 1/4" above and paralell.

My Revolt stock motor & esc gets 48mph in good water.

What i have noticed is that not all the stock motors are created equal there are some that have seen over 50 on a stocker with a m545 but i could not break 40 with mine. From what i have seen is the m445 or m545 is the best prop for this boat some have had luck with the x642 but my best results have been with the m series and my strut has no angle its dead even. I would try another motor perhaps a UL-1 motor if you wanna keep that stock feel to your boat me personally just never had luck with stock components others have just not me.

[MAMBA2200]

never used a stock radio on mine either i got the rx ready version so it could be if he is using a tactic radio

[MAMBA2200]

that may very well be his issue great info mike

Bad ass!

Thanks Mike,
I'm using a Spektrum MR200 and DX2E. I double checked that the throttle trim was at 100%. Then I set it at 125% just to make sure, no noticable change in RPM.

Could it be as easy as resetting the Tx ?
I had the same trouble (stuck @ 38.7) and I found out that I was not setting the throttle trim knob to 2.00 o'clock. That's all it took was full throttle.

Appreciate the advice, I have another new 1800KV motor I can try, then I'll drop in a UL1.
My fastest run of 41.9 was with the m545.
None of the others would break 40.

I double checked, it is parallel and within a hair of 1/4"
What prop do you run at 48MPH?

I'm not trying to break any speed records, but I would like to squeeze out as many horses as reasonable.
Thanks for the tip!
