I hope one day I get mine up to them speeds. I recently busted the left shaft, ruined the liner and lost a DB prop on my first pass. Prob a rookie mistake on my part for sure. Your videos are awesome sir..!
Dear Mark, I am thinking about switching the direction of prop rotation on my MG36 to replicate the setup on my Zonda. This is said to reduce bow lift. Do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks for your advice.
i pulled the "fit " files from the garmin gps and overlayed it with the video wditing software from my old garmin camera. "virb edit" i think was the software.

Dear Mark, would a Dasboata prepped set of X447’s cut down to 44.5 be a good choice for my MG36 on a 700ft pond? What kind of speed can I expect? Thanks.
That was from my garmin vivactive gps. It saves the file as a "fit" file. The software that came with my old garmin camera would let me insert the fit file in the video and it would show the overlay on the video. The camera software was virb edit if I recall.
Wow thats amazing #'s....what brand lipos are you using in that setup? 4x4S's 2x6S's?please do tell... also hows that gps unit been working out? I e never see that model before...i use the GNSS from SkyRC...is ehhh soo far...again congrats on the 100+mph club....👌🤙
First of all what a Great run …. What kind of props do you have on ? And who are they made by ? And what kind of GPS is that ? Thanks for the video bro
Thanks! 108 is my best video is on my channel. The props are by Dasboata they are called Super Geico props. best to email him at dasboata@aol.com for pricing and availability. Here are gps links. Search ebay for best prices on the garmin www.amazon.com/G-PORTER-GP-102-Multifunction-Device-Logger/dp/B00EAB2Y8Q www.garmin.com/en-US/p/150767
Great video and set up! I purchased a vivoacive 1 thought your's looked cool, was waterproof, small, and all but I'm having a hard time finding a Max speed data , any advice to get that set up?@@MrMad2424
Ciao io ho utilizzato 2 lipo 6s da 4000mha inserite sotto per metà, abbassato un po' i montanti, ma non capisco come mai la velocità massima è di 107 kmh sai darmi qualche consiglio?
You need aftermarket props for 80+mph. The stock props can get you to 80mph easily. Need good batteries as well. No amazon cheap brands will get fast speeds. You need quality brands like Turnigy, SMC, or CNHL LIPOS.
Nice run! Can you check and tell where is the CG point in your Geico? Mine has too much weight in the stern and goes airborne at high speed. Due to the size of my lipo packs I’m having trouble moving it any further into the front. I’m wondering how far off am I with the CG. Would be great to compare with yours. I’d appreciate your advice.
Thanks! My packs take up the majority of the tray so not much room to change cog in this boat without adding weight. Think it was around 28% in that run.
@@MrMad2424 Thanks for replying! What is the 28%? Would there be a chance that you could place your boat on the edge of the table and measure how far from the stern it catches the COG balance? That would be very helpful.
What batteries are you running ? I just purchased this boat and got 2 6s spektrum lipos for her. Your set up with the fosm and everything looks top notch 👍🏼
@@MrMad2424 ruclips.net/video/lfOXr-gGpDU/видео.html Is the reason why I used 4 3s rather than 2 6s because of the front weight? I've driven 85 miles on my sonicwake v2 8s thanks to your advice
He has several props. Yes the stock boat will do 80mph with is props, also 108mph with a different set of his props called Super Geico. Keep in mind you need good batteries and a good setup to get these speeds though.
Awesome run man👍🏼 Those props really do it🎯. I'm gonna get that 100mph sooner or later with mine. Bout to go 4 battery setup stock and see what I get. Whats the fastest you've got with stock props?
Both are real good. Pro Boat's definitely better in turns and Zonda longer and does a little better in the straights. Both are 100mph boats set up properly. Guess you could ask yourself do you like neon green or white/Black. Lol!
RUN out the "VELES 29." UP the speed controller to a 180 to 200." Dual cool it, and an XT 90, or EC5, minimally. RUN a CNC, ftl , Octura X442 , and with a little Finagling , an X445. (Don't go beyond that , ) you will over heat your system. IT will take 10 S. ,but you shold also BEEF up the Flex c able, with the Heavy duty cable. THE boat , is rock stable at 60 mph, and a beast beyond 8s. The boat is a freakin rocket on 8 S. IF you really want to go crazy, change the engine out, with a Leopard 4 or 5 series. IT's a completely different ride. Have fun.
@MrMad2424 i ended up getting the geico for availability reasons. Took it out for the third time this weekend. It flipped hull cracked all the way a cross the front. Is your boat carbon inlayed or did you do anything to reinforce it?
@@David-brown216 Sorry to hear about the hull crack. No my boat doesn't have an inlay. I did add some epoxy to the tips and about 5 oz of 2 part marine pour foam to the seams and nothing else.
Sorry , I am going to be a "Spoiler here," and work out some math problems, Electronics . 1900 KV , to 2000. ALL good. NOT good, is THE current flow for 3 S = 60 Amp AMPS ,. Your Boat by default; runs 50-55 MPH. (ON 6 S ,), max, or slightly higher ,) if you prop up. THE BLACK Jack 29, Miss Geico, Velos 29, and the Proboat, U--19 use the same Dynamite 1900 to 2000 KV, 6 POLE. Engine, AND 120 Amp speed controller, and to run the boat at Twice the default speed , two things things have be in place. AN XT 90 battery connection, or an EC5 connector, to handle the higher current. YOUR system, running a EC3 connector, cuts off at 60 AMPS. THE ONLY way to run that at speed, (AND running 12S) , is to up the engine, Speed controller , and a battery, cable combo, combo,) to get + 100MPH . and minimally a 240 AMP speed controller. THAT is the only way run at those speeds. MY simple math: I run the Black Jack 24, a 120 Amp, and EC5 connectors . THE motors are identical (- 6, vs. 4 pole) The 6 has more torque, but the same RPM . I 'm running 3 S , and turning a balanced and sharpened .438 prop, and I have 30 MPH. ALL day long . ON 4S, I get 42-45 , depending the prop. At that speed, it is almost impossible to keep the boat down. So, repeating , how do you get to 100MPH, with the limitations , I just mentioned? I am not questioning how you got there? But, how did you get that system to go go that fast? Can you, be more specific , regarding your setup. ? Our Fast Electric groups are running 6 to 10 S on a Sonic Wave, and Stealth Wave AND getting 75 -83 MPH. Everything is perfectly dialed in and using A CNC and Octura X645. And an X642. THE boats haul butt. THE guy is also running a custom prop, on 12 S , has gone, nearly 90, and with electronics, barely holding on. IT overheats too fast, because of an undersized battery/; connector problem. But, beyond that you have great videos. THE PROBOAT Sonic wave, with a balanced Prop is running 60 63 Mph. (Same setup) So , again. How did you get to 100 Mph? ) on 6 S. ....on a Stock Setup? I am curious , how you did it? -Mark -
First of all you didn't spoil anything because I've got about 10 videos proving my boat is a 100mph+ boat. It was the first Geico to go over 100mphI and eventually made it to 108mph on all stock electronics. I did it by adjusting the struts, adding two custom developed dasboata props and running (4) 3s Lipos. I show everything in this boat after all my runs, clearly you can see the motors and esc's are stock dynamite 3674 and 120 esc's. Anyways thanks for the comment. I'll leave you with a 108mph pass with the full hatch removed and I show everything. ruclips.net/video/WQC1ZcBzTLY/видео.html Food for thought...I also got 120+mph with my Zonda running 6s Same size 120 amp esc's and almost same kv on the motors (2075kv) ruclips.net/video/wCGfGCw4P0Q/видео.html

Hello Mark, will a prepped set of Octura X447 props work on the MG36? Thanks for your help.
Yes it will. But speeds will be around 70mph.
@@MrMad2424 Not that good
@Christopher Curry they make the boat very stable but not record breaking g speed tho.
Dear Mark, do recommend anything else, in addition to JB Weld to secure the battery tray mounts in the MG36V2? Thanks, Chris Curry
No. JB weld original is the best and no substitute in strength www.amazon.com/J-B-Weld-8265S-Cold-Weld-Reinforced/dp/B0006O1ICE/ref=asc_df_B0006O1ICE/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=198093606370&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1931017272308976698&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013094&hvtargid=pla-320192516391&th=1
Is it necessary to ‘glas cloth over them as well? I have also seen where a gentleman adds a carbon/Kevlar inlay to the floor and sponsons.
Never hurts. but jb weld is strongest unless you want to patch it over and over.
Dear Mark, would a Dasboata prepped set of X447’s cut down to 44.5 be a good choice for my MG36 on a 700ft pond? What kind of speed can I expect? Thanks.
around 75-80mph. they would be slow.
Interesante mi amigo, muy buena velocidad.

How would this boat do in the bay with 2” ripple water conditions ??
Not too bad in 2 inch ripples. You just have to tune it conservative for your conditions.

First off, that was awesome! Congrats on the speed. 2nd, what are you using to film this with the speedometer overlay?
Thanks! I pull the gps "fit" files and insert it into my editing software that came with my garmin video camera.
They discontinued the geico 36. Wondering what's next
idk.

No haven't sanded it.

Are you running 4 lipo batteries?
I thought you could only do 2 in series, I guess if it doesn't = more than ecu rating u should be fine
Do u add weight. Mine always wants to fly lol
Running 4-3s lipos 5000mah. Lower your struts a couple mm to stop it from flying.
