      should I get it? do you run 4 batteries with the add on cable to run them or do you run just two batteries with it. bc I saw vid that you can get this cable to connect 2 11.1 volt batts to one lead and the same for the other lead giving you 6s or do u just run 2 6s on each lead? or just two 11.1v to each lead giving the least amount of speed?

    Mr. Mad, love the video...I just bought a 36 Miss Geico and it runs good but, I cannot get it to stop porpoising around 45-50mph. It is all stock with stock props. Primarily running a 4S battery to each ESC. But also porpoises on 6s. I have shifted batteries rearward and forward (all the way forward and back and everywhere in between), but that doesn't seem to help much...still porpoises. How do you get yours to run SO flat?!? Did you adjust strut angle? If so can you tell me what you adjusted it to? As the boat is now, there is now way I can even hit 60 mph without it bouncing out of control. Thanks for any tips

    • @MrMad2424
      @MrMad2424  Před 3 lety +1

      The boat needs to be under a substantial amount of power to run decent with the stock props. Yes I had to change angle of the struts with the stock props. I can't remember what was the best settings for them I really only tried them a couple of time before changing them out for different props.

    • @daneav8
      @daneav8 Před 3 lety

      @@MrMad2424 Thanks for taking the time to reply. I admit I am a newbie when it comes to RC boats. I can see how aftermarket props would help improve top speed and acceleration , but how can they actually improve the hydrodynamics of the hull itself (porpoising problem I have)? I have heard that "blue printing" the ride pads on bottom can get rid of porpoising...so that might be my next step. There seems to be very little information on RC catamaran tuning, setup and theory on the internet. Thanks again MrMad!

  • @SebastianLong
    @SebastianLong Před 4 lety +1

    What are the differences (aside from the props) of the miss Geico and the plain Zelos 36 twin? I know the motors are 1900 kv in the miss geico where the Zelos Twin uses 2000 kv. I think the ESCs are exactly identical as well but not 100% sure. Is the timing in the ESCs different? Or are the flex shafts different? I don't really need to make my Zelos Twin faster, but I'd like to get a speed run a time or two out of it. I plan on getting 3 blade props, polished and balanced, on it. I'm not set on keeping stock diameter or running a mm taller. My ESC stays in very low 100's and upper 90's temp right now so I know I can get more out of it reliably. My next run I am going to bump the timing up just a bit to 3.75 and give that a try. Advancing the timing will make the motor hotter but get more speed. I'm not going to run it with that timing if the motor and/or ESC temps get over 150 on stock electronics with stock cooling tubes. Like I said, I don't really need more speed, I'm just doing some changes to run less throttle steady to keep the same speeds. I haven't run any speed runs yet (don't have a GPS unit yet), but am pretty sure it's doing 60-65. My Unlimited Desert Racer runs 49 on 6s and my boat is definitely faster by a lot. My buddy runs a Traxxas M41 Catamaran and it's rated to run 50+ stock on 6s but the Zelos runs just a bit slower on 4s power. Thanks for any input MrMad and keep up with the videos.

    • @MrMad2424
      @MrMad2424  Před 4 lety +1

      Thanks Lane! The flexshafts, struts, motors, props,motor mounts, are all different. Flex shafts and struts are about 2 inches longer on the Geico. I've got 90 with my Zelos but only one run. Mostly it's high 80's. The Esc on the Geico has different cooling inlets to flow more water. The motors are significantly more powerful on the Geico as well. I wouldn't go with 3 blade props on the zelos. Good luck with it.

    • @SebastianLong
      @SebastianLong Před 4 lety +1

      @@MrMad2424 The only reason I want to go with 3 blade props is for holeshot speed, I know it slows it down top end. I've only had the Zelos for a month or so now, I've been researching a lot of different things to fine tune it for the spot I run it. It's pretty choppy. Next nearest place for me is about 35-40 minutes from me that is a lot smoother. I want to tune it more for the choppy waters I typically run it on and I need fairly quick acceleration. I figure I can fine tune the top end a little more afterwards. I'm also only running a 50c lipo which works well. The two 6 cell lipos are quite a bit heavy at 836 grams each so you could imagine I need the punch of the three blades to get it up on plane in the choppy waters as soon as possible. I'm curious why you think it would be a bad idea for the three blades? You know more about these boats than I do, so I will take as much advice as you are willing to give.

    • @MrMad2424
      @MrMad2424  Před 4 lety +1

      It's not necessary a bad idea for 3 blades but I just don't prefer them on CATS. With a set of pro prepped 1716's the boat will almost backflip from dead stop. I prefer 2 blades on Catamaran boats.

      @SebastianLong Před 4 lety +1

      @@MrMad2424 lol. I know what you mean. If I nail the throttle, my boat jumps out of the water completely. The first time I seen it I just nailed it real quick to get it moving forward and seen it jump from the water. I thought to myself "I probably just hit a wake or wave" then did it again with the same result. I do want to polish and balance my stock props and keep them to change out if I feel like just cruising or putting around. I've seen videos of the techniques to do such and I feel like it's a fairly easy thing to do, but still would like a set of professionally done props. Thanks again for your input.

    I would add 2 1 inch by 1 inch weights in both the left side and the right side of the hull tips at that speed the boat will air lift out the water at the lightest wave

    How can you say stock when you have aftermarket props? How about 100% stock speed run?

      @MrMad2424  Před 2 lety +2

      stock electronics with a prop swap. Here is your 100% all box stock test. czcams.com/video/WbY4kFBh-kY/video.html BTW check out my 108mph pass if you'd like again all stock with only a prop swap.

    That's one bad ass boat excuse my language but too be bone stock that's one quick boat and on top of that it's a awesome looking boat all I have in the boat collection is a feluing 11 speed boat and a feluing f12 one came with a 14 volt battery that's the 11 it was around 180 dollars and the feluing ft 12 came with a11 volt battery not as fast as the 11 boat lot faster with the 14 volt battery the 12 is slower unless I switched the batteries in it made by the same company change the props from plastic too concerned allure props it doesn't a little better but nothing to what you have enjoyed the video will be looking forward to more of your videos in the future Mike holden out of North Carolina said that
