Scott, Ed Sidders started a thread on set-up for 45" microburst, on JRCBD. If you have the time I would appreciate any suggestions that you might share.

Done ....

Remove engine and all hardware. Place on ground in front of front wheel of your favorite vehicle, get in , start engine, put it in a forward gear, step on gas and listen for crunch. Back up, repeat.

I had a 45 inch Microburst for the 2004 season, and while it was scarey fast down the straights, the drastyfrappin' thing just wouldn't turn. It would always hook and spin. I moved the engine, raised, lowered and tilted the strut, changed the prop, moved the tank and radio box and everything else I could think of and I still couldn't make it turn. After about 3 races, I gave up and went back to my trusty Insane's.

Sounds like you had to much radio turn.Mine drives nice.Not sure why you had so much problems.

As with any boat, tuning and setup is key.

Steve, did you check the bottom for any imperfections? I had to do quite a bit of sanding. I have not had a chance to run, but I still might have to do some filling in on some low spots. I hope the boat performs decent. I really like the looks of this hull.
