Here's the plan for adding a few more MPH to the boat:
MOTOR: Neu 1515 1Y
ESC: Castle Hydra LV (not Ice) 240
Batts: 45C 4s2P 5000mah
PROP: 42-55 or X445

Would 12 AWG wires for the new parallel harness with 6mm bullets be OK? Or is 10AWG absolutely necessary?
I presume you don't use connectors on the ESC/Motor but rather solder the connection.
Is the stock single water pickup on the rudder adequate?
Any other prop suggestions?

Thanks
