New P-1 mono in stock!!!

I bet those struts can be drilled and either put some bushing in it for 3/16 or maybe even bearing at the end.

, It's real easy to do. Throw a speedmaster bushing in their and you will be fine. Should take about 5 minute to do.

Thanks for sharing Scott! I love the looks of the Fountain.

Thanks for the pics and info. Cant wait for your test results. Mine is on the way.

Got it out on the water today in stock form with a single turnigy 5000mah 3s 30c pack it gps'd at 35.5mph. Seems to cavitate a LOT before planing. Strut is set neutral. Motor was warm to the touch. Swapped packs for a turnigy 3300mah 4s 30c pack and I actually lost 1mph! I think the stock 36mm prop is waay to small and is cavitating @ speed. Motor temps came back @ 117. I'm gonna test it again tomorrow with my 442 and see how it does.

Hey 35.5 is pretty good for one 3s pack on the first day! I will order some new props...do you know what shaft size for that? This will be my second boat. I run a fastech w x642 It does around 40. I was planning on just running the 2 2s 35c 6800s from the fastech. Although ti says it can handle 6S.

The shaft is 4mm, so you will need a spacer if you want to run 3/16 inch props. (no big deal) Yah, 2000kv is too high for 6s. The outrunner looks a little on the small side, but it seemed pretty happy on 4s. We'll see what happens when I prop up a bit.

What's the KV rating on the outrunner?

Eidt, sorry I see the answer in a Pic 2000kv

36mm prop?!?!? That's way too small for a hull this size!

Thanks for the update
how about a video?

My thoughts exactly. I sent them an e-mail to see if it was a mistake, or just quality venom engineering. The advertisement says it comes with a 40mm x 1.4 3-blade. Awaiting a response.

Got in another couple of runs today with the octura x442. Very little cavitation this time and got a gps reading of 34mph on 3s. Stepped it u to my 4s pack and it really came alive. On 4s gps was 45mph. Motor temp was 122 degrees. esc was cool. Now the handling issues begin. The boat is really light with 1-pack and the cog needs to be moved forward. Unfortunately there is no room for battery movement. Another problem with bigger props is that the rudder bracket is directly over the prop. The larger the prop, the less room you have to adjust the stinger. With a 442 you cant even run the strut neutral. It has to be slight negative. Now since the hull is moving faster and the light weight boat is skipping on top of the waves now, when it comes out of the water and then back down the prop catches the water first and the hull twists violently to one side from the prop torque. I am wondering if the outrunner is even a good choice for a narrow mono because when you blip the throttle, the whole boat twists from the torque. I've never felt or seen this from an inrunner, and I'm thinking this isnt helping when the boat is skipping over even the slightest chop. Gonna play with the tabs a bit and see if it helps.

45mph on 4s, that's sweet....

I wondering if the ammo 36-88 you have for this hull is going to be a good set-up on not. Your going to need to swing a decent size prop with that motor and you may not have the room to do it and a bigger prop will only make your torque roll worse. You may need to run a little hotter setup, to run a smaller prop. Very interesting. Seem like you may have some work ahead of you.

Exactly, I would have to swap out the hardware for something different to run the ammo. Plus re-config the battery arrangement, change the motor mount. Might not be worth the effort. If I can get the handling figured out, I may just leave it as-is.
