Guess I will need a 160mm rudder
Any recommendations on a stinger?

I will have better results after next weekend about the top speed that i will do some test with a gps on,some propellers,and i hope flat water conditions.The mount and water jacket that i use is from horracing and they are perfect.You can also try the large rudder and the stinger version 2 from the same shop.If you are going to play on sea it is better to install trim tabs and turn fins also.It will help you to have the boat on the water and not in the air!!!!

Ok Thanks

So I have been looking around at escs and the best price I can see is this

http://fightercatracing.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=292&category_id=48&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=1

my other option was the Aquastar 240

Which is best?

There's a cc1717 for sale in the swap shop. I'm using one in a 41" mono and a x447/3. Awesome motors!

What's your top speed? I would be interested to see inside your boat.

Thanks for the vid. Your boat looks nice and trimmed. I was kinda hoping for 60MPH with this build but I don't want to push it.
This is my 2nd ever build plus it will be a restore as the boat is pre-owned by a nitro racer.
I will start a build thread soon.

Oh and what is your run time?

The speed is possible. Scorp has a cc1717 in has vadar hull and it hit 60mph if I'm not mistaken. With better cells and a bigger prop I'm sure my speed would have been really close to your goal. I'm actually going to drop down from 6s2p to 5s2p and increase the mah to 12,000mah. I'm looking for less speed and more runtime.

That Vader does look great on the water! His signature reads 59MPH so just off maybe.
I have a lot of work to do on this hull before I start putting anything in it. I cleaned out the inside today, awful job after nitro use.
Removed old hardware, gotta rip out old stuffing tube, needs a few crack repairs, re-enforcing and a paint job.

I'm using this KV guide for voltage.


So if I was to choose between the 1320kv or the 1000kv HK Motor / 6s or 8s set-up
The 8s set-up would give me slightly higher RPM thus giving me a slightly higher speed?

I have this huge prop that came with the DF MK II but I doubt its any good for FE use
How big a prop can the 5692 motors swing?

4s batteries as directed above from scorp / make a wake. Minimum capacity? and with what C rating?
Most higher capacity batts seem to be 30c or less.

Thanks for the help
