The 5000kv setup for 3s is even cheaper: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Novak-Havoc-...item4cf33443f2

I've been able to get away with it running zero cooling on the motor in a 5-lap heat race! I now cool the speedo

Using the fan, or water cooling?

Using the fan, or water cooling?

I was using the fan on the speedo but now i've drilled out the heatsink and run water plus the fan and it works sweet!

it wont let me post a pic for some reason though.
Yes, the 3s setup is reasonably priced and will fly..

Ray, Have you upgraded to the HobbyKing motor you recommended? I removed it and back to the outrunner with again good performance. I found that the HK motors that were recommended in this forum were a bit too small after testing them. And you?

Drop a 380XL motor in there and hang on. Depending on the kv, you would probably need a new esc aslo.

I sold a sniper to a guy that made some improvements to it.
Here is a video of the boat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Oee4...layer_embedded

Joern, those motors aren't available anymore.

Steve, yep, good choice of motor!

[Joern Markset]

Ray, it doesn`t matter because you have already ordered a better option

[ray schrauwen]

Yes, I Neu... a Leopard.
If I wanted one of those Turnigy's I could get one from the UK on Ebay but, no thanks, I like what I have, or will have soon.

I just bought the yellow one from Steve! Woohoo!! Can't wait to get her and make her scoot!

[Brushless55]

right on man!

[Rumdog]

I'm thinking a 540 size motor. Maybe a 380XL like Steve suggested. These things look to handle fantastic once properly trimmed.

[Brushless55]

yeah, maybe a 380 size Leopard

[Joern Markset]

Ray, can you fill in, or has the water became stiff now... hahaha
My pond has now turned over to airport....

[ray schrauwen]
