I friggin love the boat my friend. I’m looking forward to your fantastic gifts! Thanks again. I’m completely hooked.Glad you are enjoying it.
I really like boats!
I'd recommend giving yourself more space from the shore. Accidents happen and those plastic hulls often can't be repaired.
The casting on the octura x6 is really great. The blades are so thin...I friggin love the boat my friend. I’m looking forward to your fantastic gifts! Thanks again. I’m completely hooked.
congrats , watched when posted ( subd) my pb 95 mid size zonda. ( 1122 twin hobbywing 180s Tp power 4060 on 5s ) can not find high mah batterys to fit in the hullI finally got out to the “speedrun” lake today after three months. I got in a few back to back runs on the Animal cat and it got up to 110mph with no flips or crashes thankfully.
This was the first time I ran it with inward rotating props, and it was 4mph faster than with outward rotating props. Video link and log screenshots below. The logs look good and almost identical, I’m pretty happy with the efficiency of this boat. However, one motor was almost 30 degrees warmer so I’m wondering why.. I didn’t check to see if one stuffing tube was hotter than the other right after the run, so maybe one shaft is touching inside the tube heating it up, maybe? I’ll have to figure that one out

Simply amazing and neither ESC is working hard yet. Potential is there to go much faster but probably needs a wing to keep it from flipping...I finally got out to the “speedrun” lake today after three months.

Thanks. I know what you mean, it’s tough to fit bigger batteries in the Zonda, the body needs to be trimmed around the hatch area. I did manage to fit the smaller SMC SRD 5300 packs in, but it was tightcongrats , watched when posted ( subd) my pb 95 mid size zonda.

I feel like It has more speed in it for sure. I’ve been running it a little wet with the batteries forward to avoid flipping during the runs and so far it’s worked, both on this boat and the Zonda.. I mark where the batteries are, next time out I’ll move them back a little and see if I get more speed. Trading stability for speed can be a nerve wracking game to play though as we all know.Simply amazing and neither ESC is working hard yet.

I’ve seen a few pictures of RC Cats with wings posted up before, it’s a great idea and I think it would work perfectly.
Time to build a set up board which allows more precise adjusting of strut depth and angle.Simply amazing and neither ESC is working hard yet. Potential is there to go much faster but probably needs a wing to keep it from flipping...
@Tex Koder that battery tray seems right up your alley! The way you guys pull exact specs. Look at a 3D model then fit it exactly. I’ll see if anyone is up for that. It’s just a rectangle of a size that I will find! I’ll post the link in the 3D printing thread. Of the guy who posted it
So I’m learning a few things. First is running a single 6s battery in my Sonicwake is not ideal. I have broken two of the plastic clips where you loop the battery straps thru. (I’ll get to that point in a sec). I nosedived it catching some air and it not only pulled the battery out of the connector it also smashed the styrofoam in the front.
I watched a sonic wake video and the guy said that I need a thin plate of thin hard plastic (he 3D printed it) or something for the battery’s to sit on and not break those clips. When my 3S batteries come in? I’ll Velcro the crap out of them and mature they are secure. My 6s bricks can’t get 3 straps around it but the sheer weight broke my clips and my driving smashed my styrofoam. I’m sure a forum member would be happy to make this plate and I’ll pay for it. I have to get the specs.
Has anyone else done this with them being new and does anyone else have a sonic wake With a battery plate. And if not? I’ll get the measurements and reach out to the 3D printer thread. I’m not cutting shiz! lol. But I am an addict so I’m going boating right now. Puff those Zee’s a little bit!
