Man I hope I dont have these same issues...I think we have the X jacked to the moon on our setup...we shall soon see. 30% slip is crazy high! Something is obviously wrong.
Other than the -4's, props and the big strainer, keel pickup and intercooler pickups what else did you do on this latest round of mods that could of contributed to this?? I honestly don't think the drives are too close together...I mean look at how close they are on Poker run boats and Fountain's race boats. I sure hope you get it worked out...I know you will man. Thoughts?

Something else to bounce off of ya'll here......
When alot of #6 boats run a high x dimension, the prop is set back much further from the transom in comparision to where a stock scx-4 location would be. Alot of cats I have seen with the scx-4 have extension boxes on them. Setting the prop further back lets more water to it and it also has more leverage on the bow. I would think adding a spacer could achieve "similar" results.
Like TRL505 said, maybe RF3 can comment or elaborate on what he thinks of this.

No problem Dean...I want you to get it right. Maybe R3 can chime in with some advise on what may be a quick/easy fix for you.
