How well would this Hydro move with a 8XL on 4s or a 11XL on 6s ?
I'm now thinking of getting one of these boats

I plan to riun this on 8xl for 4s racing and speeds around 90kmh or so have been what the guys running them so far , i ran without a gps the other week (2nd run with my new cells) and it was probably around 57-58mph, still a bit of tuning to go, weather has been crap lately for testing plus i been busy shooting people (paintball)

No no, I mean near 60 on 6s with kb45-8xl, havent run it on 4s and 8xl yet. Though I hope to get close to 60mph on 5408xl once I set it up.

First time out i tried some tired old cells and it only went about 45mph Had the strut set flat and it was by no means fast, tried a few props, Got some new cells and first set the boat up of a table - took the turnfin off, and set the strut with about 2 degrees of down angle according to my non lifting prop choice which ended up being m445.It went prettty well, and did everything right, water was a bit rough but it was still quick and stable.

Hopefully I will get a chance to take it for a run this weekend and tweak a few things
