Well I got the hull in today and its a bit bigger then I was expecting. The listing was very vague so I had no dimensions to judge from but it comes out to 31.25" from tip to tail on the sponsons. Which makes it 6" longer then my hornet.

It looks to be in good condition but I have no clue where to start in converting it to FE. I did mount my KnB 3.5 for size. And put a 2s 5k pack in for sizing I hope this leg is big enough if not ill have to sell the hull and get a smaller one..

This is my current power system. I can run 6s if the proboat 1500 can handle it.

Any advice on setting it up for fe would be great. Im gonna need all the help I can get with this one...

I'm thinking the 1500kv proboat stocker is gonna be too small. This thing is heavy.. what would be a good motor option. I was thinking a 4074 1300kv or close to it.

Are you sure thats a DUmas? The 45 is over 33" and the 3.5s are all under 30" I think.
A buddy (KENDT on here) has a 45 he's running on 6s with a t-600 outrunner.

Honestly I don't kno. Someone said it looked like a hot shot sprint 7.5 so I ran with it. I'm open to ideas on its origin though. I just hope my power system can move it @ speeds.
I still have to find a way to water seal the battery compartment.
