That thing Sticks to the Water like its nobodys buisness !! Looks like you have a great group of friends you can bash around with. I will be running 2 6s Spektrum 5000mah 100c batteries in my TFL when its up and running. Also running the same batteries in my Miss Gieco 36 with Dasboata Props for both boats! Cherrs mate ! 🤙🏼

Beautiful place like a postcard 😊👍 good to see Zonda Thrashing 😊.I though you were fitting latch screws and seal strip don't need to tape and batteries won't fly out.Did yiu use contact adhesive to fit battery mounts on ,mine let go

Hey Paul! Thanks We do have a nice spot to have fun with our rc boats its called the Otonabee river. I don't mind the tape but I have ripped off some paint so I see that it will need a paint job for next summer. I haven't had any problems yet with the batteries flying out yet.

Dear Steve, I hope everything turned out ok. How are the 1716’s?

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

Hey Christopher! Unfortunately the rudder was damaged on that crash.. The 1716 worked ok but they aren't as fast as my cnc 45mm props. Thanks for watching!

@@stevesballisticrc8770 Sorry to hear about the rudder. What happened to it? What pitch 45’s are you doing good with? I just got a Zonda and am still getting it ready. I have a pair of 1714’s for it to start out.

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

@@christophercurry7410The rudder is twisted will probably need to get a new one. The props are 4514 but I'm only getting 72 mph out of it. I'm looking to get more around 80 mph.

@@stevesballisticrc8770 Steve, are you running the stock motors? 0* timing is what works best with them. Are your 1716’s sharpened & balanced?

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

@@christophercurry7410 I have leapard 4074 2000kv motors.. I haven't really done much with timing yet or even much testing period.

I think she is running wet and what brand of lipo you are using ?

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

I have a set of zeee 6s 6000mah 100c and two sets of turnigy 6000mah 60c

[@nossrc5638]

@@stevesballisticrc8770 ok but I think that if those props are well done it should give much more speed, maybe batteries with less mah and a little tuning or are you not giving it full trigger?

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

@@nossrc5638 I haven't even ran this boat much. At the time of this video I only had a dozen runs on it with very little set up.

[@stevesballisticrc8770]

@@nossrc5638 It has a twisted rudder from the crash and haven't fixed it yet. So she has been sitting for most of the summer. I believe that given the chance that the 1716 props should give me faster speeds but as I say Its been sitting.

@@stevesballisticrc8770 sorry for that broo but you can fix it or just replace it is easy if you dont have serious damages
