:angry: To start things off I purchaced a Proboat 1/8th gas Miss Bud. Reason to get my fix of running boats without putting added wear on my nitro engines and boats.
After I got the boat I looked over everything sharpened and balanced the prop and insulated the reciever and batt. pack. Took her out and after learning to launch this boat was quite happy, The boat is no X hydro but still fun to drive.
Now heres where things get stupid.
1) changed to a Irwin 90 quite pipe as the stocker is way to loud.
2) sharpened the rudder (dull as hell)
3) sharped the turn fin. one side only (had both from factory)
4) changed radio to a stick
Went out to play and as soon as you go more than 1/2 throttle the sponsons pick up and start sapping back and forth. I figured the pipe and sharp turn fin and rudder was allowing more top speed. brought her home and adj. strut to gain more down force.
So at the pond again and same crap. tried nuemerous props with no succses.
added 5oz to front of boat and still same thing.
Came home rather frustrated as it worked great before I touched it. :blink:
Put origonal radio/reciever back in and replaced both steering servo's as they felt weak. replaced steering push rod as the factory has a wierd bend at the rudder.
re-sharpened turn fin to both sides as it was factory.
Have not tried it yet but I hope some one here can tell me were I went wrong.
Any help other than the help that requires a nice chair and a psyc. would be greatly appreciated. leaving thurs to BC and would like to take it with me.
