Default fun on the water

Hey guys. went out today with Derek.... skipped off work and school!
-orange whiplash 26.5 inches, Mega 5500 KV - 1P CC125 and a X435 that is duller then a door knob!
-rigged insanity 27 inch 2s2p rigger, 1515-1D Hydra 240- X440
BTW it was extremely rough but i still managed to open it up. we have a good 4 mins of runtime on the rigger and not once did she flip. the whip was uber fast on just the 435... cant wait to try a 637 !!!

They look excellent on the water.
5500kv is pretty quick for sport. I'm interested in knowing the temps during a warmer intense heat race.


I can't wait to race ya this weekend. I have full confidence in my setup. I should be around 55mph with 2s with only a 1/4 of the motor you have.

How long is your hull, 3*"? Mine is 27" long. The only thing that concerns me is wind stirring up the water.

hey Taylor, how d'ya manage to get such good action shots? mine suck (though i always blame it on the cameraman -)) it's obvious you're not driving slow to get the boats on camera - mine either appear out of focus or else the boat looks slow...(maybe something to do with the chop? to appear fast i mean )
