My pleasure !! We need to encourage each other !!!

I'm working on a GoPro, I had a friend who wanted to see my boats, so I took him along and he brought his GoPro. I'm getting some ideas but we were just fiddling with it until another time.

You do some good video !! I will get my Zelos out today , hope the water will be not too much choppy !!! I got my new batteries , 4 x 3s 5200 mah from AGA power !! I tried them on my voracity and they give me a good ride , will try today on the Zelos !!

Good Luck with your runs. Man I can't wait to get the Zelos back on the water. The kids that are usually in the area where I run keep asking about the big yellow boat. Lol

The water conditions was not good for speed , a lot of 1:1 boat making waves , so i didn't be able to try it . The new used batteries are not what i was expected !

Sorry to hear that Banzee. Thought about getting any of the Graphene packs from Turnigy or Revo? I got a pair of 6s for the Z coming. SMC's arent bad either, they hold up better than my Dynamites but that could be because I didn't know diddly about RC when I got the boats.

just raced a fully mod Zellos 36, I was better in the turns with stock, came in behind him and he over heated, shut down, I LAUNCHED off his tail Kutos to pro boat for making a solid hull. 60 mph and a hit, with min damage, to both boats

The reason is , i got these batteries from a friend who bought them from another guy , but he didn't know about storage , so the batteries stay fully charge for months . I got hard time to balance them and they don't have the punch that i was expected !! Today too was not a good day for speed , but got fun driving in choppy 6-8 inchs waves !! The fastest i reach today is 40 mph , faster than that , the boat want to flip over !! It is a very good day !!!

Why the stock setup turn better ?? Too much power that keep you straight ??

yes he had to either go wide or back off throttle , as I kept full around turns. In to more racing it then top speed.

[Team Lucas]

I just rather have a better race boat then a fast straight way speed boat

[Team Lucas]

racing is what its all about, people can go fast, but is it race set?

Did you have bigger props and did you keep the rotation inside like stock ?? Look like the Zelos mod get hard time to drift corner like the stock does !!! Rafael tell that his mod Zelos with 3 blades didn't drift like stock too !

[Team Lucas]

btw when I launched off his boat, I came in 1st lol

[Team Lucas]

i have a sharp rudder, and it turns on a dime at 50 + in turns

[Team Lucas]

i was tought 20 + years ago, to set up a boat to NEVER let off throttle.
