TFL Hobbies "Popeye" Hydro: P-Sport Hydro

[Doby]

Doby, did all your winter mods work out?

They seem to have...I GPS'd the P-Sport at 58 MPH and it seems pretty stable...the pond was dead flat that day...
My Turnigy ESC was doing wonky things interrupting a few runs but I think I have that fixed now. It runs really well with the single Zippy 4s 30C 8000Mah pack right up front. I had the strut higher then the standard strut allowed, but moving it all the way up with my mod caused it to run too loose. Had to move it a bit down again.

That's great! I'm glad it worked out..

Looks like the winter mods were successful John as your Popeye seems to be running awesome!

I have one of the multi colored Popeye hulls on order......

I know the guy who owned and drove that boat I grew up with him.

nice vid all I have is a cell phone lol....if u are ever in tx bring your camera...u can vid my boats anytime

[Jlov]

Got a few runs in for first time with lipos in parallel. Looking for longer run times. First vid ironically Tx Batteries died so was short run. Second vid next day I got 5 1/2 mins compared to normally 3 min runs. It seems to run the same with two lipos up front or 1 up front. Actually on this windy day it ran better with the extra weight up front. Im using two 4S Gens Ace 5300 packs.
