114 mystic C5000

[pond skipper]

Starting a new build soon. It will be a MHZ 114 mystic C5000. Running gear will be 2x NEU 1524 1.5D (1700kv @ 4000watts) on thunder power 5000 mah packs 8s1p per side. 2 prop shop 4518 SS 3 blade left and right hand rotation and 2x swordfish hv 240 amp controllers and if they burn up I'll buy 2 40-160s. This setup will be almost identical to the one that a guy is running in a hpr115 that ran 122mph with no problems at all. I think it was done up like the jbs racing boat. ill post a link to the video on here in a bit. Any thoughts?

Do you have any experience with previous models? This hull requires high level skills for driving and also for building it...
I wish you good luck..

50,000 RPM per side is quite high but thats the only way to achieve this kind of speed. I think it's doable, but to start with 442 props. 4518 and 3blade is on the limit I think.
Are you going to use flex shafts or wire?

Hey

I got a mystic too. 1521 neu 1,5 d on 5s sometimes on 6s per side.
Your setup is quite too hot. With your setup you should be able to reach 200km/h or 125 m/h. and only two people have reaches that speed in a cat. Just take a moment and think about your setup.

I'm going to try and use 3/16 flex cable

I've thought about it very hard and don't think I want to settle for anything less, if in some way it ends in failure I'll tend to whatever needs to be fixed and find a way to overcome the problem, and I will be starting off with a smaller prop but the 4518 is the goal, I guess I should have said that in the first place lol. Thanks for the comments guys, keep em coming.
