Fixing all the problems on my M41 boat from traxxas

Allright so this time I am gonna fix all the problems on my M41 boat from traxxas. So fixing the load prop, the battery holder, and the ESC/reciver

Yea seems counter intuitive that more weight up front would be quicker but cat boats have a certain cg that they perform best at and with the weight to far to the rear, yes less boat is touching the water but the front quickly lifts too high and won’t let the boat go much faster before catching air and lifting off. With the weight all the way forward, you be able to go quicker before that speed wall is reached (front raising to much and catching air). As for the batteries moving, just stick a piece of pool noodle or styrofoam the size of the gap in the free space to prevent them from sliding back. Much easier and actually beneficial in a crash to prevent the rear from sinking

Boats are so unlogical 😛 And i like my battery holder more 😁 i will design a nice one to print it in 3d

[@VetteWay2Fast]

Haha whatever floats ur boat :) I’ve put in a seaking 120 esc in mine and debating picking up some rc boat blitz trim tabs to keep the front from lifting as much so we’ll see how she runs. Cheers man, I’ll sub and stay tuned for future updates

So the esc is note in lipo protection mode

[@TannerPeters88]

The solid red light means it is not in LIPO mode it’s in NHM mode whatever it’s called

[@HappyDude1]

I checked all the settings in the app and its lipo mode. But i will check again just to be sure! thx

[@TannerPeters88]

@@HappyDude1 yea all good just that’s what seen in a tutorial video but I could be wrong

[@alainbellemare2168]

Is this boat any fun or just a lot of problems

[@HappyDude1]

If you don't update the electronics and get some good lipos it is a lot of fun
