A rain shortend 3 rd place not bad!

Great Job of hanging in there until everything lined up! I think I will be horse for a couple of days. Sorry to hear about you grandmother's passing Wensday.

Never run a connector that has both wires in a blob of plastic in a Race boat. It is not a question of if but when. Put a temp guage on them after a run. eek! The best connectors I've found are Nue's 8mm bullets and they come in after a heat at 120f to 125f not the 200f+ you will see on...

Looks good under NO load and at LOW rpm.

Panasonic bought Sanyo's battery business 2 years ago, just bought some new ones. Slow charge (1/10 amp) when new then 1/4 amp for regular charges. Test just as good as the Sanyo's! DO make sure the lable the lable says "made in Japan"

Y winds are 8 khz.

The driver of the r/c electic boat should be REQUIRED to put the trans down. I have seen drivers holding the trans while talking bump the thottle!

63V caps? Almost looks like they shorted out on bottom of the cap board, it's not lined with carbom fiber is it?

Was anyone holding the transmitter at the time?

There should be a small disk that came with the controller if you bought it new. That is where the instructions were on all of mine. If not go to there website, they are there..

Follow the directions that came with the Swordfish, they are NOT plug and play! They must be programed to the radio! leave the timing on AUTO.

So was your work this last weekend!!

For electric 35,000rpm Sport hydros I put the S bend in the tube under the boat between the hull exit and the strut. Very slight bend 1/16" each side spaced about 1/3 and 1/3 of the exposed tube.

Yep, you are going to need a 2s controller capable of 240 amp continuous! I agree with Darryl, go P class MUCH easier on equipment.
