The replacement of the props is a huge increase in speed. Please comment on the prop link of the seller you purchased. The retailer of this model I purchased was recommended to upgrade to 180A ESC because 120A ESC is insufficient when using 6S as a motor with genuine specifications.What do you think about this part? Thx~

[@jcallesano]

First maiden run with my zonda last night. It was slow in the opinion. Didn't even seem like it was hitting 50mph at all. My sonicwake v2 was with me and I used both. The SW was flying Mayne hitting 60 now that it's more dialed in. The zonda first run was super unimpressive for me. Don't know why. I do have 2 3s batteries wired in series with thst harness, maybe that's why? I don't have 2 separate 6s packs. But I'm going to get a set and see if that corrects the boat. It was the first time out with it so I'm unsure as to why it was so slow, and its the version with the seaking 180s. I have the carbon fiber one

[@MrMad2424]

the zonda will do 55-60mph bone stock with unprepped stock props. Put on some super zonda props from dasboata and can be in the 100mph + club easily running everything else stock.

@@MrMad2424 awesome, thank you for sharing. That makes a difference for the rest of us to maximise our runs with whatever boats we run. I’m new to electric boats and just preparing my dominator and watch as many videos as I can and have wondered what the ‘zero ‘ setting on the ESC program box means. Heard a few people mention they have their ESC’s set to zero !?! So what does that actually do to the performance of the boat please ? Appreciate your support. Thank you 🙏

@@marcandreasson87 that's the timing degree advancement or retarding of it. Like on a car adding more timing or taking timing out of your motor. 0° is best for "d" (delta) wind motors and 15° is better for "Y" (wye) wind motors. They don't need timing advanced.

[@MrMad2424]

You got it No problems. Change the motor connectors out to 5.5mm bullets instead of the 4mm it comes with. Put EC5 or larger battery connectors and you are good to go. File out the servo opening so it fits well and you are on your way. I'd change out the drives to one piece as well. Much easier to grease than the 2 piece shafts.

[@sergeysvechnikov9196]

There can't be that much of a 40-mile difference between stock and tuning props! Almost two times! What else was changed?

[@MrMad2424]

You witnessed the unedited video right? Only change is props and tuning. Hopefully next run will be more mph than this.

[@AB-80X]

If you go back and watch the maiden voyage video again, you can actually hear how wet the hull runs. Also, those stock rough props are not very good. I just ordered the new sefl righting Pursuit as a fun toy thing, and I expect it to gain maybe 12 mph just by going to a CNC prop and setting the angle. There might even be more in it. That's a big gain for a small 4S mono hull. Cats respond more to settings as it has a lot to do with getting them to pack and run loose.

[@roady1710]

So I had to ask all stock from banggood when I buy my old stock boat from banggood does it come with my Chris Hoffman dos boda props I'm sure it does because yours is all stuck so mine's going to be all stuck ... Yeah right

hey man question what kind of batteries are you running and do you have them in a leather case with leather straps those straps look awesome.

These were some of my older packs I believe they were 5400mAh packs using reinforced RJX hobby straps.

[@BigDaddy-rt9bg]

Looking good🏁🏁I just got done emailing Chris about a set of props for the zonda I ordered.he sent me a set of x447 for miss g and I wonder if they would be good on the zonda too.i seen a guy on KZbin running like 80 with some 1714 props.im still trying to understand props but I think it's the same as a cnc 45mm high pitch?thanks(saying you was too get cnc props...which ones?)

[@MrMad2424]

x447 would work but abc 17 series would be much faster and efficient over the x447.The miss g stock props are like a 1715 so maybe you try them on it?

[@MrMad2424]

If I were to run cnc props and I wanted to run all the way through the packs Id get 45mm. ABC 17-45 series are a totally different prop than any cnc you can get. Much higher rake and thrust per mm pf prop.

[@genunchi080691]

hello, very impressive with a perfect set of propellers from Chris ...can you tell me what batteries you use especially for zonda I would like the same for my zonda 41"

[@MrMad2424]

5000-6000mah Revolectrics, SMC, and Gens Ace/Tattu mostly.

[@lilausser]

Great video! There are a bunch of great tidbits you show and I have a few questions. What batteries would work best? They suggest 4000mAh 14.8/30C you used 5400mAh, is 6000mAh 14.8/50C better? Do you remember the prop size/pitch you got from Chris? Your boat seems to have the ESC's placed towards the rear vs the Zonda on a board near the front. Did you see a balance issue? Lastly the Garmin. What model is that and how did you get the telemetry on the video? Sorry for all the questions and hope you don't mind sharing these answers.

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! My ESC is in the stock position the way it came from the factory. I ran 6s 90c 5400mah I believe in this run. The higher the c rating the better for the boat and batteries. Garmin Vivoactive was the name of the gps. You have to have a gps to save the file as a "gpx" file then you can overlay it over your video in post editing software.

[@RydinginStyle72]

So are the props the secret magic to the crazy speeds? What will a stock boat on 6000mah 100c 6s lipos do with proper grease and set up? 80 ish?

[@lilausser]

@@RydinginStyle72 Hi Eric, speaking for myself, my Carbon Zonda out of the box with stock props and same batteries you mention I was getting about 60mph on about a 5 second burst. If I had the proper space I think it would top about 65-68? Then I changed props. I bought the gold coloured ones from Oxidean marine. Quite a bit larger and steeper pitch. Just that got me 89mph on a 5 second burst. I have not tuned the ESCs. So I am hoping to get steeper props, ESC tuned to get me into the 100mph club. Hope this helps a bit! Have fun!!
