      Well I finally ran this thing and got a little video by propping up my cell phone against something, my wife will come with next time to get a better video. This is a straight off the bench run with cog at about 1"-1.25". I love this boat it drives great and handles like its on rails. Ran it on 4s but it is definitely 5-6s capable. Ran 10 min on turnigy 5000mah 2s batts in series they were at 3.78 when I pulled it in. Castle 1420-1800kv, T-180, 42mm cnc prop

            2 blade prop works better drove kind of funky with the 3 blade. Tried one 3s battery but it wouldnt even plane out, 6s its a rocket. If i wanted to set this up for a 2s and 3s parallel setup what would be a good size motor/kv? Thanks

              Any thoughts on a motor/kv rating if I wanted to set this up for 2s/3s parallel? Id like some longer run times but not sacrifice speed!

                  Quick little update I put a Gforce 3674 2200kv in this thing and it flies. Really impressed by this $36 motor, I'll post a new video in the next few days. Its a D wind so Im running 0* timing on my T-180. Boat really likes an m445. Its easily my favorite to drive
