5s on a 2150kv leopard is a lot of rpms. That motor is better suited for 4s. I bet 4s and a m445 you could have yourself a nice running boat and the motor would barley be warm.

Sorry about your hatch

I ran it on 4's a few times... motor wasnt even warm to the touch... was looking to maybe get a little more out of her.. i was able to get a vid of the second run (after the hatch demolition) with the batteries stuffed all the way to the front of the sponsons... Really just wanted one good run with 5's to see what shes capable of... but yes i do agree, on 4's the boat is smoothhhhhhh and reliable!

I little lighter touch on the throttle should prevent those "wheelies"

I have ran 46mph, on the stock motor on 5s. I moved my batteries further back, not more forward. Took the bounce out and ran strong.
