First of all I want to thank the members on OSE for the wealth of knowledge I have read over the past six months. I have been an RC addict for a while but just recently I've jumped into boats and love it. It started with a full build on a DF Vortex 22 then a UL1 and now a PB Miss geico. Now for the ? (sorry about the rambling) I picked up a Castle 1518 and want to put it in either the Geico or UL1 which would you guys suggest? My DF vortex stomps my UL1 in speed and handling would the ul1 handle the power and be drivable? Or should I buy a new hull and call it a christmas present?

I wouldn't stick that in a UL. It would work fine in a MG though. Or you can build a DF33 or a HOTR 32" cat... JMO

the geico will like that motor, i have one setup in a 35" mono spinning a m447/3 prop on 4s and it goes great :)
