I dunno about anyone saying this is too slow on 3s, I'd say its pretty quick for what it is...
100% stock except a 32mm prop, and the sponson bottoms trued up a bit. I still have a lot more work to do on the sponsons to sharpen them and get them fully trued, but it runs quite well for a cheap little guy. It comes in stone cold after 6-7 minutes, and I'm only putting about 900mah back into the packs (2200 packs, could go MUCH longer):

I found out something you don't want to do with these things... hit a floating stick at WOT
:
I've got it all apart now, and have a thin ply double cut out and laminating right now (two layers of 1/32" ply). I'll have it glued into the transom shortly, then get it sealed up and back together.
