i ran m445 on 6s and got 50.0 mph(motor temps got high). i ran same prop on 4s and got 43.8 mph(perfect motor temps). was thinking of trying x645 on 6s. i think the boat should be close to 60 mph on 6s???? i just ran out of daylight and didnt get to do/try different props and setups.

I think youd be working backwards if you put that motor/esc in the MC.

how is that? it is much faster than stock and runs cooler. have only hit 47 with stock mc but temps were too high and smoked motor and esc.on average 43 on mc stock with m445 on 4s

Run it if you must. I do not have either boat, but have read plenty about each. Im by no means telling you what to do, but there are much better options out there that dont break the bank that will be much more reliable and run the speeds youre wanting.

didnt spend any money on the system, it was just laying around. i know there are better motors and esc setups out there but trying to be low budget on this project and be over 50 mph on a regular basis with the temps good. thank you for looking out for new people though. do you have a prop recomendation? thanks again for the input.

well didnt get x645 yet but got some good speed today. ran m447 on 6s today and got 57.4 mph. cant wait to to get over 60 mph with my mc. it is stable at this speed.
