I'm workin on a 27" Rigger. I got the new Feigao 5XL competition wind motor. I just purchased the Carbon fiber watercooled XL mount from Steve here. I'm still debating if I should put rear sponsons on the rigger. I'm not racing it, so I really dont need to take turns fast.....What do you think?

Heres some pics of the rigger so far...............

Also, im gonna go with a turnigy esc on a 4s or 5s setup. should I get a 120a or 180a esc?

I set a still-standing catamaran SAW record with a 5XL on 12 NiMH cells of 74 mpg. Don't use 5S, that is far too much for that motor. Even 4S will be hot so watch your temps. What amp rating on the ESC are you using?

I'm thinking of getting a Turnigy Marine 180a esc.

Wow a 5XL!
Sweet looking Rigger..
I would go with the 180.
I'm thinking of a JAE 21 FE with a Castle 1515 2200kv on 4s my self

Well Todd, keep us posted on the JAE. Good rigger for running a Castle/Neu....

I talked with Mike Walker about building me one, and I cannot decide between this or a twin.. the JAE would be cheaper to build and should get some high speeds..

74 miles per gallon is pretty good for a brushles boat!

crap, and I though my V12 Mazarati was a gas guzzler.... maybe i should add more batteries to it

So, would I get good results with a 5XL, 180a turnigy esc on 3s?
