Well here it is 1st vid clip of maiden run of the concept vee from 1st race heat ,failed EZ starter beginning of 2nd heat meant i did race and cut the day short Didnt hit full throttle and was running rich and with choppy water and windy conditions i was taking it easy get the feel for the boat and go from there But overall a good 1st run need to do some adjustments on radio and more testing and see how it goes from there

My grandad says if it looks right, it probably is. That looks just sweet out on the water.

Once iv done some more testing and setting up will be better for sure hopefully but showing good potential ;)
For 1st run cant complain :D
-
