Thanks! Now break 60! Your builds always look really solid like they would hold up if they were hit by a missile!

Wow nice build man thinking of building one of these with the exact same setup got a few questions though what rudder and turn fins did you use and also how far from the transom is your motor mounted and what prop would you reccomend as the best all rounder ?
Thanks

Hey Brushless, I ran that setup for quite some time but have actually gone to a Neu 1527 1y on 6s2p. I live in the southern US and it stays over 100* for weeks on end in the summer. Water surface temps get quite high in "non flowing" lakes and I was always fighting my temps. Unfortunatley i set this boat up in winter and would have had to prop down quite a bit to run it in thie summer heat without the ESC thermaling which it did a couple times. I run a a T180 and wanted to stay with it so I simply pulled the 1527 from my 45" Dumas "scale"skiboat and threw it in. This may sound lame but it also fits the whole "Vader" thing being a long black motor and looks nice in it. I can now run an x450 all the way thru 10,000 mah with zero issues and it is still over 50 mph, granted not 59, but its plenty fast and i'm not racing anyone really. I am starting to tone things down a hair in my setups to allow year round running.

The 1717 on 6s is a sweet setup for sure and i obviously could have thrown an x445 on it but this is just the way i went. In your climate i would imagine you could run the 1717 year round with an x448 or so and have a super boat! Now i have a 1717 for some other project if i need it too.

I used this rudder and these fins:
