Maybe mine will get here in a few more days. I was hoping for today... but I got these instead. Not a bad trade off in the mail category after all. Thanks Chris! I will put these to good use! Maybe I should have paid for overnight shipping on the cables like VP did....lol

I sent yours out yesterday. I had yours in my hand at the post office when I was shipping his and another owner....you sent payment for the sencond one so I didn't send the first one out, figured ship them together. I think you will get them tomorrow.

Got my replacement flex and prop from Horizon (in 2 days!). Thanks for the quick support!

Just posting these pics for informational purposes. Looks like the stock shaft just came loose at the crimp and didn't actually break. Interesting to note that the way the spring is wound around the flex shaft, when the crimp comes loose, the motor will actually "unscrew" the prop shaft piece from the flex. If the outer spring on the flex were wound the opposite direction, the tendency would be for the flex shaft to tighten itself onto the prop shaft, preventing the prop and lower shaft from being ejected into the lake. You'd still lose power, but you could probably limp back to the dock.

That would be a bad idea. If you turned the spring the other way under load, the spring would try to unwind. That would make it get wider, destroy the Teflon liner, next to happen, the copper tube would look like a pretzel.

Got them today. Very stoked about these! I'm glad I had you to throw another one in the box. Very nice shafts! Thanks Travis! Now just if the wind to die down and the Birthday parties to finally get overwith I'll be set! Below are a couple of pictures, one is side by side with the stock Veles shaft.

Does any other owner Experience the hard right pull around 50-55mph with this boat? This Rudder might be coming off and a 29 v3 might be it's replacement.

I wish I could tell you. With any luck I will run mine Monday.

Veles 29 Hits 73mph!

Another run with the boat today setup different than yesterdays run and it ran numbers that I am more accustomed to getting with my setups. The Dynamite logger clocked the boat at 73mph. It was pretty windy and I wasn't going to run but I decided to go ahead and run with the sailboats anyways Lol. Thanks Chris for another Awesome prop!

Another nice run.

Reported speeds from a "stock" Veles 29 if anyone is interested. Not saying that I recommend all of these props but just wanted to pass some info.

6s
55mph box stock with Raw untouched prop (rcboone2000)
60 & 61mph stock prop s&b (MADRCER/rcboone2000)
69mph ABC 1714 (rcboone2000)
73mph ABC 1716 (MADRCER)

4s
50mph ABC 1914 (rcboone2000) temps were good
55mph ABC 2214-10-50 (rcboone2000) NOTE: electronics very hot

Holy crap! 2214? Why not an 1819 instead? Guys, I'd recommend increasing pitch over diameter on 4s.

I think that was just a couple of props rcboone2000 had in his prop box, so he just tried them. I got a good ABC prop coming from Chris for a 4s run in my boat It should be here by the weekend.

Great job! Awesome video.

Thank You!

Looks like it's pretty exact. I kept one I made so i can copy it for anyone else who needs one. I may make up a few with the rest of the cable, stubs and drive dogs I have left and put them up for sale.

[QUOTE=MADRCER;701824] Here is a nothing special video of my test and you can clearly see the wind was around 10mph, water not ideal, and I wasn't even trying to run the boat hard.


Water not ideal!!! You should see how the water is around here. Good to hear the Veles is running straight and true. If I ever get mine to run, we will see if yours had a flaw or if that's they way they are.

I have already told you where to go run up there...The Gulf of Mexico is rough down south also...Lol!
