We went out on Friday for final calibration of the engines ecm's. We calibrated for about 2 hours. Eddie got the engines perfected. Idle at 825 and shift in and out with the 6 props well. The lake was completely flat but the set up seemed to work very well. The boat comes on plane well. Turns better. Stays on plane at a very slow speed. All hop could be eliminated with tab. Could blast right past hop with acceleration. Everything feels very smooth, no vibrations, I think the props will do. I was unable to find any smaller diameter props to test. The set up, all in all, seems better than the Bravo set up. One of the SCX drives coming off the trailer would delay shifting going into reverse. We took it off and it will go to Imco tomorrow. I want to make sure it's right. I am very pleased about the set up.

The SCX requires helmet change but the helmet will fit the XR gimbal ring. I highly recommend the IMCO ring as it is much stronger than the XR. It doesn't really make sense to not make this piece as strong as possible for safety's sake.
