A good outcome for the maiden run 72kph. I love the nose section you constructed it’s beautiful. Cheers Kev.👌👍🇦🇺

[@CozyRC]

Thanks, Kev! 72km/h is a start, but I hoped for 80+ actually. We will get there!

Very nice Cozy, I used that same motor with a 4s in my shrimp rigger, very fast, l used an octura strutter and an octura x627, that prop lift the rear end all the way out of the water, I believe I had 3 degrees of down tilt. It was amazing while it lasted. Great video 👍

[@CozyRC]

Thanks, Neal! Sounds great on your setup! I have to dial in this shrimp a bit more, but she will be fast..

Thank you, Raf! I have been busy with the Shrimp builds (building 3) and then I will work on the Mini Mono's again, one of them being your 3D printed version!

Some of the fast Shrimp riggers are running the turn fin much further behind the sponson on an extended bracket, to get the fin closer to the cg. Also running either a straight fin or one that just has a curve on the fin.

[@CozyRC]

Thanks Gillian, you're right! I might try an extension bracket first. My precious shrimp had one, too!

Does this turn better than your f1?

[@CozyRC]

Yes. And once I fine-tuned the setup, this will turn at full speed, without really losing speed. My F1 boats turn on a dime, but you have to lift the throttle to start the turn, like the real ones 😎 Both boats are great and a lot of fun!
