Do they make RC trim tabs for RC boats? Seems like they might help get it more stable at speed.
Does Coors help the captain's stability at speed too?
I'm really curious to know how fast this boat is.
It looks super fun!

It’s got tabs on it, it’s just a matter of getting them adjusted properly and getting the batteries in the right spot. I did see where others said the stock ones are a bit under sized for the boat, there are some aftermarket options that are wider.
Son forgot to grab the gnss last night, we will try it again tonight if the weather cooperates.
I suspect I’ll be ordering the kit from these guys that I just ordered for the disruptor
Also got a hobbywing system coming for the disruptor as well. It’s on the bench awaiting servo swap, I had to get a low profile one ordered to fit without cutting the tray it fits in.

Gotcha! If I spent more time at our beaches, I'd buy an RC boat. I have wanted one since I was young.It’s got tabs on it, it’s just a matter of getting them adjusted properly and getting the batteries in the right spot.

So I admit I don't know much about boats, RC or real, but, I had no idea they could handle that well/turn that fast.View attachment 273592

I figured they either turned wide or sorta drifted around turns

Drive trim and COG is where you find speed in a boat but fixed trim is a compromise. Does anyone make a drive setup that's adjustable on the fly?
That would be the ultimate!

That would be the ticket
No video tonight since we had no free hands
Disruptor is dialed in. It rips in that pond. Something came loose it sounds like on the spartan

I took the H10 Optic for a walk in the woods. Ran 50 minutes on a CNHL 3S 2200mah shorty pack and still had to discharge some juice to get it to storage voltage when I was done. The HobbyWing QuicRun 2-in-1 2300kv set up is thrifty with the watts.

If there are any fish in that pond, I'll bet they are suffering some serious anxiety about now.
