Yesturday had a run with my zelos,had some big waves so no full speed just had some fun bashing around

[fweasel]

The waves make for some interesting acrobatics. I've never run on water like that. If the waves are that big on my pond, it's because there's a 50mph headwind!

Thnx guys it was really fun idd,in the full vid has lot more jumps and some crazy surf on the waves but had to cut em cause i was in the middle of it all the time :p !! As for the flexes i run with the stocks atm but im planing to swap em really soon,i was going to use wires but ill go with the ose upgraded ones instead since im thinking to upgrade motors also soon

[banixj]

i also want to swap flexes but i'm not able to decide between hd flexes and wires... i don't understand if water come inside with wires...

water enters the wire drives if you don't use what Jeff suggest a (auto vacuum nipple) I believe what he said to use.

Hit 71.2 a while ago with new setup.

Seaking 180
TP4050
X447s
Revo 6s

I believe my Revos are on their way out. I wanna go back to using 4 packs vs 6s direct to each motor. She was running wet and could use some positive on the struts. Would it be recommended to prop up too? If I can get mid 70s to 80s I would be happy. Already am but that would be my goal. I predicted a modest 70mph with this setup. I know some of you guys reached these speeds on stock equipment but I'm still learning this hull.

Nice run Keagan. I just got comfortable running the boat on 2 3S packs last season and tried 4 on the last weekend out. It was a distaster in terms of how much the setup changed. I'll start over this spring sorting out the setup with four packs because 2min run times with two packs is just no fun!

[Keagan-Z06]

Thanks bud, I gotta weigh the Zelos, she sure feels heavy w those 6S packs. I also think the x447s won't net me 80mph. I'll try the props off my Zonda, 1815s with fresh packs and hold on for the ride.

1815 's have more pitch the 447's

1.8" = 45.72mm x 1.5 = 68.58mm pitch

47mm X 1.4 = 65.8mm Pitch

Your 1815's are they the 17 degree rake props??
