I seen a pic of that one as well, they may becoming out with 2 new boats then. The one we seen and maybe a brushless vs1 rtr. That would be sick, I won't be getting another one for a while! Wife is a little angered I spent over $400 at tower today all i heard was O well lol

Sweetz28, I dont mind you asking the question. I was trying to wait until after I had tested my setup before I posted all the information, but here it is. 2350kv. I'll tell all Wednesday. Hope this helps for now.

I was doing some reading on the SuperVee and came accross something that said that 2 8.4v 7 cells were to much for the bec and burning out the rx and that if using anything other than 2 6 cells nimh you should use a rx battery box. Did anyone else hear about this or is anyone using larger than 6 cell batteries on their supervee.

I never got higher than 2s lipo but they do sell electronic becs if you need it this way you do not need to carry the extra battery weight.
Also i am runnin a Carbon Fiber 45mm prop with your batteries i would use the CF 42mm prop the 45 may heat your packs up to much... Reason why i am saying to use these props they work way better than the stock SV prop the stock prop cavatates and the boat takes for ever to get on plane but with the CF props the boat pops right up out of the water and takes off like a rocket!

Thanks, I will look into those props. I just ordered the SV adjustable trim tabs from OSE. Do you use these? I also ordered the port side turn fin. I'm trying to make this boat as stable as I can, I'm not the best driver in the world

Where did you order those props from OSE? Is it 2 bladed or 3 and is the shaft dia of the SV 3/16?

I was going to get the tabs but i did not get them yet and i also have a turn fin but never put it on I don't think you need it... But definitly get the groupner carbon fiber 42mm prop if you are running NIMH it should work great.

[Diesel6401]

Do you think I should run my 6 cell 3300s? Instead of the 7 cell 4600s?

Yes that is it... if you go lipo get a 45mm with Nimh the 42mm will be easy on the batts.
