EKOS on 8s!!

What is KOS stock setup? Lenght is 32", right?

4S 5000mAh for each motor is a good hot setup, with nice 2200kV BL motors.
What' s wrong with this hull?

Stock setup is twin 380-sized (2850kv) motors with turnigy/seaking 60-amp esc's and 32 and 36mm 3-blade plastic props.

The hull is great, but the motors have been known to fry.

Hope this tip is not too late - tip to get set screws out

Regarding getting grub or set screws out of couplings. I have found if you heat up the body of the connector/coupling with the tip of your soldering iron, you can usually get them out. Assumes you haven't messed up the screw hex.

If that doesn't work, a dremel with diamond cutting wheel will make a nice cut into the coupling which will permit it to be removed.

Most set screws have had some loctite applied to them and the heat softens it up so it will release it's death grip on those tiny little buggers. If you can get SS set screws, you will have a better chance of success in future attempts to R&R the couplings.

its gonna sink with all that weight. but your packs will stay cool submerged in the water like that. might add drag the way they are positioned try sequencel stacking them to act like steps on the hull.
