      Need a whole lot more info. When I put it on my Open Mono on 8s it pulls 300amps. If I put it on my retrieval barge it pulls 25amps. If I leave it on the bench it pulls "0" amps.

              Providing the motor size is adequate for your hull (Im not too familiar with the TP Motors). For sport running for a couple minutes, 4S with a prop in the 40-45 mm range would be much better on a motor in that KV range. For a few quick SAW passes on 6S I would still stay in the low 40 mm range because your RPM's on that motor on 6S will be very high. And that's providing your ESC can handle the amps.

                  I ran a Castle 1515/1Y (2200 Kv) motor on 6S in my SAW recordholding 32" cat, and with a Prather 235 (about like an x550) ran near 90 mph with spikes of 350 amps. An x457 would spike well over 450 amps with an average around 350 amps - my guess anyway. Don't do it.

                    On a twin I would expect around 480A if the motor was actually capable of it, more on a single.

                            No one can tell you that man. I've had the strut placement drop me almost 10mph. Invest in a data logger and gps to know these answers. Everyone else has.....
