I FINALLY GOT HER IN THE WATER 2.0 MINI HYDROPLANE RC BOAT

Not too shabby, I will call that successful. No encounter with walls and came back on its own power. Good starting point and more tuning in indeed. The oversteering could be the sponson is hooking the water or COG balance point might be slightly often a little two nose heavy. Clean run by the way still. I am following to see what you can do with this boat

You know... I didn't even check center of gravity now thst you mentioned it.. I threw the pack in her where I usually did in the 1.0 and just drove.. I was so nervous about sinking another boat... I kinda just wanted to get it over with 😂🤦‍♂️ The flycolor 90 is significantly heavier the the castle sidewinder I had in the previous boat. I SHOULD probably check cg next time.. Now that I know she doesn't take on water. AND actually drives. For the 3rd attempt to go as well as it did. I was very pleased with this new baseline.

Love the color scheme . Super smooth ovals . A friendly suggestion if you don’t mind . It would be good if the background music could be a little lower so I can hear the acceleration of the boat . Loved this video . If you are trying on different props it would be good to have a speed comparison . Also if this prop was big for the boat it did not put a demand on the current to cause the wires to heat up ? Thanks

Thanks for the info Yes I will lower the volume to be more subtle from now on of I add music. Regarding the prop size. I mean the boats run well with this prop and motor set up. In the previous 1.0 version she ran a bit warmer on the esc and battery with this sized prop. So I'm just "comparing" I guess. I thought it would put MORE heat through the system than what it did... It's hard to tell.. But we'll try it again with a strut adjustment and battery placement..

Damn winter hours screw us in the afternoons Thats why I went MIA for an hour 🤫 Southern Commifornia has great weather.. Unfortunately that's the only good thing left of her. Are you able to fit a 2958 rocket or Surpass brand motor in your mini hydro?

@JANDRMARINE I'm running a 2845 3000kv. Far & deep into the nose.
