Okay. I finally finished my Top Speed 2. I ran it today for the first time. It was plowing bad. I trimmed it up about 2 degrees. This was much better but still plowed a little at times so i lowered the out drive. This helped quite a bit but the TS2 was riding high on the nose. I checked the center of gravity and its right around 10 and 1/2 inches from the stern. I think it is supposed to be 9 and 1/2. Can someone confirm this please?
I could tell it wanted to go. I just need to dial it in. After a 6 minute run the ESC was just a little warm and the motor wasnt hot at all. I did punch it from dead in the water and the boat leaped almost completely out of the water. Very COOL. When i get her dialed in ill get a video posted.
I can move the battery back a little more and move my reciever battery back and that should fix the COG problem. I hope.
The set up: UL-1 Motor-4s 4000 pack-100amp esc-Prop is 2mm below bottom of sponson with approximately 2-3 degrees up angle-octura 438 prop.
