Default RE: Atomik Barbwire

With regards to the rocking, I have found that using a smaller 3S battery helps with the stability. I think my boat handles best with my CX G3 Hyperion 1600mah 3S 25C LiPo. It is quite a bit smaller than the 2200 Mah that I have. And make sure your battery is firmly strapped down. The Velcro on the battery is ok but I use a Velcro One strap through the brackets in the hull to keep the battery from shifting. I thought about using a counterweight to balance out the boat when using a bigger battery, but I don't know how the added weight will affect the performance.
It might be something else. ? I am just glad that the boat can right itself !
