For better steering on the boat you have to drive the boat faster, the faster you go the more steering you have there is a happy medium you have to find on the speed for good control
Yeah, I love the videos with Stempy in them. IDK if it'd be a good idea but I can't help to wonder, well the title of the video would be "Stempy drives Game Over Monster Truck"! 🤔🤔🤔
Probably not a bad idea but I'd try to set the prop lower as dropping trim tabs will lift the stern and reduce stability! Better off keeping them parallel with the hull or trimmed up a few degrees just above I've found.
A quick adjustment to prevent hooking on the turn is rudder adjustment, pull it rearward at the bottom so it pushes water up off the rudder and prevents the rear lifting and nose diving when tuning and causing what is essentially over steering.
Kev you gotta mess with the trim tabs on both sides of the prop to get it to stay on the water. If you bend them down just a little it’ll create just enough drag to keep the front end on the water. As far as steering you need to drive it like an RC car and let off the throttle to steer instead of yanking it at full speed.
1) keep the nose down with the aluminum trim tabs on the sides. Bend them down a touch at a time until you find the sweet spot 2) steering: I dunno, it seemed to turn on a dime when you were going at a REASONABLE speed. the longer the boat, the larger the turning radius.....and yes, you have to slow down to turn.....but you could put on a bigger rudder if you want to turn sharper.....also, what's the torque on the steering servo? If you're ripping at full throttle the pressure on the rudder is immense. You could be stalling the servo.
@@KevinTalbotTV No prob, I'd first look at the servo and if that is high torque, make yourself a larger rudder. You have a bunch of lexan around the shop. 1/8" or 3/32" cut it into the shape of a guitar pick about the height of the existing one and maybe 2" long, and crazy glue it on. (or rivet it). You could bevel the front and rear edges to reduce drag.
Absolutely not! Bending the trim tabs down will improve low speed only! They are best used for fine trimming in conjunction with the prop angle which is solely responsible for the thrust angle and should be adjusted to suit the weight of the battery the water conditions and prop type! My boats were significantly faster than this 20 years ago!
Quite incredible how far we came when I look at my collection of early 2000s boats with brushed engines and heavy 7.2 volt NiMH batterypacks. Even my two "racingboats", that were build to race from hull to prop would be no match at all for modern RTR big company beginner boats.
I just love how y’all have so much fun, bet I’d love to be able to hang with you guys either with the boats or bashing trucks. So much enjoyment with all of you.😂😅
It is so important to remove and grease the prop shaft on all boats every few runs or they won't last long but no one ever shows it Im still waiting for one of those rubber boats to get popped . With the kids around I would run the boats with out the turn fins on, then you would see some carnage ! Keep those batteries forward boy's. Cheers from New Zealand.
Love traxxas definitely fun for the summer and taking out to play with personally I’m not a rc boat person but the traxxas boat is really fun if your going to a river
I've had a Sonicwake 6s boat for over 2 years, it self-rights and absolutely never has sunk, haha, not even close. I bet the traxxas is fine as well. After having the sonicwake I dislike boats that dont have self-righting. Run-time of mine is insane, Prolly 60 or 70 packs through it, takes on very tiny amounts of water. What all boats do suffer from though is electronics heating up. Upgrade ESC's and all bullet connectors to make it so you can go wide open throttle from start to finish.
It would steer better if the rudder were directly behind the prop. Having it off to the side like that means it’s not redirecting the prop’s flow, but rather that of the relatively still water to the side. Having it off to the side likely also means that it steers better in one direction than the other.
To get it handling better you need to adjust the trim tabs. The angle is wrong which is why it is porpoising on throttle and doing backflips. Moving the batteries forward was a good move but ultimately you need to adjust the trim so it carves more and bounces less.
To make it steer better you could put a longer rudder on it. I also would recommend the traxxas aluminum prop upgrade as I break a plastic prop pretty much every run
Nice boat trip Kev. It's always good to see Stempy again.....and the rest of the crew now I think about it. That Traxxas boat is fast, but the way it always lifts off seems to defeat the purpose of it a tad.
Kev, I want to see you fly RC Planes in a video. Please do a video flying. Get a 90m EDF jet from Motion RC and modify it to see how fast you can get it to go. Also, put an EDF on the Losi Promoto and send it. lol. I love it when you post new videos. The best channel on TH-cam.
Will you update us on the monster truck? I was at the nationals and really looking forward to seeing you go over that bus! I was so gutted for you! The truck looks *amazing*.
I can't believe those boats can even stay on anything but glass water at those speeds. I don't know squat about boats, so it's amazing to me. Looks like fun!
Hey Kev! The newest version Xmaxx is technically v5. A lot are calling it v6 but the 5th Xmaxx to come out was the ultimate. Most don’t consider a limited production run to be a version, so it’s v5.
Man it seems you all had a blast! Jason never shows any emotion. Redfin Models is just a cover up for being the biggest baddest undercover Rambo dude out there! Lol! If Stemp got him wet...then he better sleep with on eye open! Hahaha!
There could be a few reasons why it’s not turning properly, it could either be just where the rudder is positioned or when it gets up on the power its not in the water much, it’s also trying to fight the prop blast as well, it could also be the hull design My family races circuit boats so I’ve grown up around racing boats Hope this helps man

Nice
Wow
I'm no expert but have corrected nose high poor steering in one of my boats by raising the prop tube so the boat rides lower in the water at plane.
did you pop in to the Vanilla Alternative en route? 🙂

Everybody having a good time laughing, it’s nice to see
Only way to live !!
indeed; beautiful day; everyone with a beatiful attitude.
STEMPY!!!!!!!! Welcome back mate.!!!
He needs his own damn channel 😂😂😂
Waffle waffle waffle
yes
🤣🤣🤣
“I found some grease for your shaft” he getting to that age u gotta watch him 😂 lol that’s made me crack up
With Stempy it's a lot of FUN!!! 😂😃😆
Thanks for that Video 🙏
It's nice to see everyone laughing! 👏😂😂
If this is your first Kev and stempy boat video you need to look through the channel for the rest of them. They are hilarious 😂
Especially that one where the boat sinks! 😂😂 One of my favorite, right up there with the one where Max flips that boat into the wall and it explodes 😂
Yeah, I love the videos with Stempy in them. IDK if it'd be a good idea but I can't help to wonder, well the title of the video would be "Stempy drives Game Over Monster Truck"! 🤔🤔🤔
Stempy! My son loves him!!
Need to adjust the trim tabs to keep the nose down

Love a Stempy vid! You two have that 'old friends' banter!
Seems like a lot of fun, haven't had an rc boat before, but now I'm thinking about it. 😊
I just love this guy's videos. Friends just out having fun with toys haha
It was a great day on the water. Only thing missing was Claire and Ian.
Stempy, max and kev, perfect combo !!
I bought a FL-012 I think for 100 USD, came with a lipo, it's brushless and goes almost 40mph! Had it for several years and I love it.

Battery placement plays a huge part too.

Yeah! Let's see that fms k10 what can do! 3:47
Boats and Stempy always make for my favourite videos! A right laugh 👌😁
Wow awesome video my friend,, and cool rc boat 👍👍💯
Can you do a video on the Danchee Ridgerock or the Redcat Ascent /10 scale
Boat gang! Always good fun. Try a prop upgrade for more speed n power! Ironclad will know what to put on. More boats!

It’s boating time!
yesssssss!!!
i am a very big fan. ceep it going Kev ; )
Great to see you guys having fun, the kid's were the most grown-up 😂
Love your channel and videos! Just hearing you talk relaxes me lol
Yes to fms. I been thinking of buying one lol
stemps an absolute legend so nice to see him!!!
Hey Kevin, sure love your channel. What a great video. Have a wonderful day, buddy. Love to see all your content.

the steering could be limited, maybe try to see if you can change how much it moves in the remote or on the servo arm.
Good to see Stempy back
To make it steer better you could put a longer rudder on it. I also would recommend the traxxas aluminum prop upgrade as I break a plastic prop pretty much every run
NICE TO SEE MAX IS DOING GOOD

Love the Banter in this one keep it up from Australia
“Stempyy investigates it…..
And takes it for a spin” (Quite literally… that damn boat was spinning hell) 😂
Yes been asking for a boat video with stempy woo hoo such a great laugh thanks dude
Just having some fun with friends....So nice
Had a blast watching this. Great edit👍
10:13 life flashed before your eyes mate lol 😂😅

Great Vid, thanks Kev and Co.....
Life jackets All round tho man!!!

@@Redfinmodels Lol!Just being funny!
Kev this was so fun, thank you!
I love your vids ❤❤ keep up kev when are you going to do the monster truck jumping stuff again that was fun to watch
Came here for RC content, and now for the last week I have been researching boats... thanks
Kev your the best thanks for all you do and good content
Traxxas be wildin
Hey kev for your boats I’d get this other type of pump it’s like a massive bike pump for much easier use and way faster than the feet ones.
My granddad owns Kelpies been in the family for years, can’t believe you’ve been there 😅
My god man! Stemp and Mad Max on the same video?
Edit: After watching I'm completely jealous. What a great day and area for that. Awesome vid Kev!
Laughter and smiles=success!
Hi Kevin greetings from Thailand great video as usual bet your glad you moved to Isle of Man now labour are in
Boat content is Nice change of pace....

Seus vídeos são irados
Parabéns
Keep up with the old style intros I love them!
Kev and Stempy are the best!
Good to see Max there too!
kev this would be great for your top speed rc cars
That boating with RC boats was really cool
Kevin try the scy pro rc 16101 it goes like 70km
Yes I would like to see the Chevy crawler
always love to watch the way you "tortured" your toys
✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼
Great Vid. much Fun
you guys are a riot to hang out wit you all for a day would be epic !!!
Kev you got the plane on that boat set too high. Stemp sinking boats... Not this old chesnut.😅😂 Looks like an RC party!
Love your content Kevin!!
Woooow. Redfin still has the og dji mavic pro on shell. 😮😮😮 i want the whole stand so bad
Good you’re gonna love it it’s got self riding
Complete chaos. 😮
Kevin you should try makeing a flying boat
Love it when you have stempy involved you 2 rub off on each other, a good laugh
Yes I want to see the 6S FCX10 K5 Blazer durability test, because I want to enter to win one!
The poop transition at 6:29 killed me
Good to see thinks are back to normal
yeeaah kevin with more boat content 🎉
Rc boats are the best! ❤🎉
Looked like a lot of fun!!!
Great video guys 👍🏼
💥! BOOOOM
