    A lot of great input on here I must say to everyone. Thanks I am looking to run MG29 v2 on 2 3s batt or guess you would say 6s. Anyone have any suggestion on ESC? New to rc boating and trying to find a good reliable one for these boats.

      I did replace the connectors to 5.5mm and the motor still fried on 5S and burned the hull. Proboat wont warranty the motor as they have for other people... The boat is only 3 months old.... Bad Customer service if you ask me. They came up with all kinds of excuses not to warranty the boat....

        As far as I'm concerned there is no rtr boat our there for anything above 4s. I've not seen any that can handle any more than that without issue. Unless I'm forgetting one

          More than likely bad setup on your part

            The stock set up is a bad set up? Cuz thats what I was running (with 5S). Anyway, after further depate with Proboat, they did send me a new motor but I still have a burned boat....

                You replaced the connectors but, it is hard to tell what your soldering skills are like?? If you had a cold solder joint it would burn up fairly easy on 5S. You have to get good surface contact with the wire against the inside of the connector and not just in a pool of solder. Did it burn up as soon as you hit the trigger? 1 minute in the run, 2 minutes in? 5 minutes in??

                  Sorry bout your BJ. I've been running on 6s I picked it up 3weeks ago. I usually run 3/4 throttle and occasionally hit full throt..
                  Darin stated on post #4 to get a 1500kv that's in a MG. would this be the same 1500kv that's in the Stiletto?

                      The Stiletto had an 1800KV motor. Same motor that's in the BJ29... well... same specs, anyhow... the new ones are now Dynamite branded....
