Nice run Mark. Hopefully we can both get to Schaumburg next weekend

This thread is sooooo off topic
When is the actual Veles going to be released?

'bout time. I saw one on eBay, so I assumed the container finally hit this week.

Just ordered mine from Horizon. Should be a good boat to mess around with.

Right on VP! At last a boat that doesn't require any upgrades from the box to go fast except maybe the flex cable... I say that because I snapped one of the Factory Geico 29 cables and one Kintec shaft while using the 3831 motor on 6s. So far the OSE cable is holding up well. Does anyone know if the Veles 29 cables are made any stronger than the normal Pro Boat factory cables for the BJ29 and Geico? I heard of a few people breaking on the UL-19 cables also.

I've been running Jeff's .078 wire drive on my Bj29. No problems so far very good upgrade

Does OSE have a replacement cable for the Veles? Would the Black Jack or Miss Geico cable fit?

Who knows. Don't have a cable to measure yet... I'm sure they'll add a sku for it once the boat trickles in.

Other than the Zelos twin, all FG Pro Boats run a 3.7mm cable. Pull out the liner and run a 4.7mm (3/8) if you're worried. As long as you leave a gap between the drive dog and the strut, you shouldn't break a cable. Most cables come apart because people refuse to acknowledge that cable shrinks under load and need space between the dog and the strut.

I have broken two cables, one stock Geico and one being an aftermarket by Kintec in my 3831 equipped Geico 29 with the 5mm gap at the back of the strut as well. The kintec cable appeared to come unsoldered at the prop shaft end. see photo. Rafael check out my run with the 3831 equipped zelos twin at 88mph. Awesome job to Pro Boat on this new motor! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaIkSbd7QGw&t=187s

Solid run, good job. The issue with most 4.7mm cables is that they're brazed to the prop shaft which is a fail point, no matter who is making them. It doesn't help that material has to be removed from the cable to stuff it in to the prop shaft. The 3.7mm stock cables in the UL-19 and the Veles 29 is crimped. We've found that the only failure with the mechanical connection is when there is not gap. The cable compresses and pulls itself out of the prop shaft.
