Default Speed Quest .40

im setting up the speed quest with the gear from the CR....the last time i tried this it didnt end up as i washed it did, but im going to mess with the AoA to see if i cant keep it from diving like last time...

when i was working on it, the hull snapped in half because of a weakness in it where a hole was to route the servo wires to the Rx. i fixed it, but the hull bends upward slightly from the point of the break to the end of the hull, so now it rests on the back of the sponsons and the middle of the hull...i think it wont happen when its out on the water, but im not certian....

ill get some pics of it soon...

well...this boat will never see the water...when i tried to start the motor, the force was too much and broke the engine mount (along with the top of the hull...ripping large peices of foam with it too) top of the hull off....

i would fix it, but it would be even weaker than it was before it broke, so i figured not to risk it....
