Zelos Twin Record Top Speed Run 88.23mph (142kmh) w/stock 3831 motors

Top speed run 88.23mph (142kmh) with the NEW Dynamite 3831 Zelos twin replacement motors. As of today, I believe this is the fastest speed anyone has ever got out of a stock Pro Boat Zelos twin equipped with the new Zelos twin updated motors (DYNM3831) while using stock ESC's that has been video recorded and verified by (2) GPS devices. These motor just came out a month or so ago and now all of the new Zelos 36 twins are equipped with them from this point on due to ProBoat discontinuing the old DYNM3910 motors. This was my first run with the new motors and I flipped on my second pass coming back into a slight wind at around 70mph. I have attached photos of the GPS logger software that has the details of the run mapped out at the end of the video and you can see that I hit my top speed of 88.23mph (142kmh) about ¾ the way on my first pass, so this proves this boats capabilities with the new motors. Also, I believe from slowing down and stopping so quickly at the end of my first pass all the “water drag force” forced my left drive to move up significantly out of adjustment and helped cause the flip on the way back. My backup run after this run on struts out of adjustment on the same battery charge was 85.12mph (137kmh). The highest temps I saw over my first test today were 104° ESC &106°on the motors the ambient temp was 68°. The Batteries used were (4) 3s 11.1volt Gens Ace brand. Sorry for the long video I didn't want to edit any of it for authenticity purposes. Thanks for watching!

I used to to be more into the RC boating hobby. I still have a couple. I still have a planes, drone, & rc trucks too. My hobby time cut back after becoming more settled in family life. I have a friend that's into these hobbies too. We should all meet up sometime and go run stuff. If you on FB just look me up and add me or msg me etc. That way we can get in touch easier and figure something out. I'm super stoked to see you doing this. I waited years trying to get interest out there on those water. So it's great to find this video & connect.

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! I didn't check the voltage sag during this run. 2-3s packs won't last long at in this boat. 4-3s is the way to go. Looking to get this boat back out in a few days if weather permits and hopefully give everyone some new numbers to look at.

[@ElseysEmpireRacing]

MrMad, did you ever check the timing? Not too many people discuss timing and it is hard to get a handle on what experts like yourself do to get the timing right.

[@MrMad2424]

Yes. 0° OR 7.5° works good for these motors.

Hi MrMad2424 great run I most say, thats fast I just order some ABC 1715 for my zelos and was wonder what angel you run your struts 1-4 mm. ???

[@MrMad2424]

RC AVENTURE Vincennes France Thank you! The esc's are stock and the motors are the new updated stock motors that Pro Boat is using now. They are part number DYN- 3831. The old motors DYN-3910 motors have been discontinued

[@jaly4121]

Great videos. I have been researching the zelos for some time. Is there a way to tell if the motors are the new series from a bar code in the box? Our hobby shop has had one for some time so it is probably the older version.

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! I am not sure on the barcode. You might contact Horizon and they might be able to let you know.

[@AlessioCapitol]

Hi MrMad2424 . . .I took the Zelos 36!!! YEEEEEEESSSSS S S S S S !!! A question...the Dynamite tools, for example "Start Up Tool Set" (DYNT0502) which contains: * Hex drivers: 1.5, 2, 2.5, and 3mm * Nut drivers: 4, 5.5, 7, and 8mm * Phillips screwdriver: 0, 00, and 1 ......etc. etc. Where can the Nut drivers be used? Thanks. p.s. This Saturday I should launch the Zelos 36! :-)

[@MrMad2424]

Congrats! The nut drivers would be for the hardware nuts on the back of the boat that hold the struts in place and the rudder in place inside the boat as well are some small nuts.

[@AlessioCapitol]

Thanks ;-)

[@barthchris1]

That's badass! Gotta love brushless motors and Lipos. Wonder if Graphene-based Lipos would give you more power? They definitely do for my airborne applications, higher voltage under high loads and great cycle life. Bit more weight but that may be good for a boat.

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! Yes, the Graphene batteries do have more power. I have some that I will probably run this Spring to hopefully improve my speed. What brand do you use in you're airborne stuff?

[@barthchris1]

MrMad2424 I recommend the HobbyKing Graphene packs. The 65C packs seem to be much better than the 45C packs. I've also had very good luck with Chinahobbyline.com packs. Their Gplus line also has graphene oxide on the cells anode layers. Yeah, the name sounds risky but their actually very good, based in Hollywood CA!? You can get a killer deal there if you are patient. Quick shipping if in US as well. Trust me, with either brand you will be satisfied. I've pulled 125A peaks on aggressive acro flights from a 4s 1300mAh 65C HK Graphene packs with my 250 sized quad. Same with 4s 1300mAh 70C Gplus packs. Packs came down slightly warm, never puffed one. I have destroyed many from impacting objects(trees, ground, light poles, my houses roof) at high speed though. Lol!

Do you know the story why the 3910's were discontinued? Problems with them or slower? What do the props cost to get? Thanks, and I enjoy your videos. 👍

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! The 3910's were just under powered. Team Orion is the manufacturer of the new 3831's and they are way better less heat and they have 1/3 more horsepower. The 1716 props are pretty scarce to come by since I made this video....or maybe its just a coincidence...LOL! You can contact Chris Hoffmann (dasboata) at dasboata.com and he can tell you the availability and the current price for them. I think they are like $60.00 each though.

[@VegasRC]

Ok. I just got my boat today and it has the 3910's. Crappy deal cause the vendor says 2000 kv without part numbers.

[@MrMad2424]

They aren't too bad in the Zelos... but watch the temps. The single motor CATS they really sucked in. They have to overwork themselves when you get on it very much. Enjoy your new boat.

[@jakeweinmann872]

So all you changed were the props? And the batteries of course. But were the props customized or were they how they came off of dasboata's website?

[@MrMad2424]

Yes, I only changed the props and set the boat up properly. As for the props contact Dasboata and tell him to prep them like he prepped mine. The props are hard to find in stock at this moment though. My boat has the newest version Dynamite 3831motors in it because the old stock Zelos 36 motors have been discontinued. From this point on all new Zelos twins will come with the 3831 motors. With the old motors my best speed was 80mph with the same props.

Daniel Melfa The part number is the same because this isn't a version change its just a running change. If I was you I'd buy from Horizon because these Boat's are price locked meaning they are suppose to all be sold at the same price across the board and no coupons are accepted on them from any online store. With Horizon you could call sales and ask them which version they are shipping and you have much better warranty leverage buying directly through them and you get free shipping and no tax.

15mph top speed?

[@prichardtreecare1218]

MrMad2424 yes I had the wires reversed got it fixed then snapped the flex cable

[@MrMad2424]

Make sure you motors are both turning inward (left motor spinning right and right motor spinning left) if not you will unravel every flex you put in the boat. Also you have to have a 1716 CLL (left rotation prop and 1716 CLR (a right rotation prop). Make sure you ordered two different props. If not and you changed the wires on one motor the boat will move normal for a short distance until your left side flex gives out and comes unwound from being ran backwards.

[@MrMad2424]

Fabio Thanks for the comment! I am very sorry you can't get your boat set up properly to run 90mph. One thing that came to mind while reading your comment was you are using 1714 props and I use professionally prepped 1716 props from www.dasboata.com So that is one of your problems. I have made several runs from 86 to around 91mph with my 1716 my setup. I ran "103kmh" with my boat bone stock out of the box with the old motors and stock props. But I'm still wondering why you would call "bullshit".....That's one reason I put two gps units (with the data log recording) and do not edit record breaking runs in order to prove to people like you that my stuff "is what it is". Take a look at this forum and you will see several others running speeds similar to my speeds. forums.offshoreelectrics.com/showthread.php?55116-Zelos-Fast-List!! Good luck and I hope you find the "sweet spot" that this boat likes!

i dont know, that looked a little to set up for someone to sell another boat and rescue gear, good idea , still looked set up

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks for your comment! The Zelos is made by Pro Boat and my Rescue Boat is from AquaCraft models, and I made the PVC float myself...I don't sell homemade PVC floats either and I definitely don't like crashing a boat that I have around $1,000.00 invested in..LOL!

Set up? No, just creative and smart. Sure beats busting out a kayak or inflatable boat!

Thanks for the comment!

Should invest about boat that is anitcap

[@MrMad2424]

Thanks! I Have a couple of them but they're pretty small compared to my big boats and aren't even close to the speeds of this one.

[@toannguyen214dallas]

MrMad2424 can you make the small as fast as the big one. Great vids

[@MrMad2424]

toan Nguyen No this boat has two motors and it is very fast. The lighter self righting boats only have one motor and less power.
