I have a Traxxas Villain and I am trying to tune the boat’s trim angle. It seems when I put the outdrives all the way up as high as possible the front of boat bounces horribly. If I put them all the way down the front still bounced a little at top speed, but not anywhere near what it did with them up. All the way down is great, but I heard that it causes to boat to plow into the water and reduce speed. Should I keep them all the way down or just put them in the middle?

I think common sense needs to come into play at some point here. I think if you re-read your post, you'd find that you answered your own question. just like most things, adjustments should be made gradually, not all the to one side or the other.

If I were you, I'd start all the way down (since it seems that's where it's closer to where you'd like it) and trim it a bit (read: little bit). Run the boat. Not happy yet? Trim it up a bit more. Run the boat. How 'bout now? Trial and error my friend, trial and error.

Did I mention error? There will be a few of those too!!

i work a lot on big boats(fullsize)keep adjusting your trim out till you find the sweet spot,less of the boat in the water the faster you will go

raise it till it cavatates then drop it a 1/8" that should be ideal
