HK Osprey/Delta 39' copy

[TwzteD]

im waiting myself to see what people run them on, i still need to buy new batts and i dont wanna have to but another set, i hope they can run on 5s or even 6s, but i doubt 6s since its prob too high of rpms to runs safely, i m prob going to but 2x 5kmah 5s for 10kmah total the hull is lighter than i thought but im gonna reinforce it also. just ordered a traxxas waterproof servo also and going to try and get rid of this seaking 120amp esc and get a bigger one for reliability sake, doubt it could even handle 5s. just want a decent reliable setup with decent runtime. hardware is awesome for the price you cant beat it.

the motor is the leopord hobbies 2200kv motor for refrence its not 1620 its pretty much the castle 2200kv motor

[Brushless55]

They do make a 1620kv version of this motor I think?
I think this looks like a great RTR

[Rumdog]

Even if the motor is equivelant to the castle, it's going to be too small for that boat. A 33" mono is about max size for it. This is more of a 6s boat at least, maybe more.

4074/2T
120A 22.2v 2664 watts 2000kv. I don't think HK knows what motor they are selling in the Osprey..

[TwzteD]

so what would be a good alternative motor for this boat then>?

Pull that water jacket back and lets see what kv motor you have first..

[TwzteD]

i did its the 2200kv motor wont be any good at all in this hull?

[Brushless55]

4s could be the max, but maybe 5s with the right prop?

Everybody wants to pay $300-400 for a big boat that runs 60+mph, lasts forever, never gets hot, has a heavy duty hull and fabulous hardware, etc etc etc

Yeah, and I want a brand new Mercedes for $1500! Jeeeez!

Why isn't that attainable?
I'm new to FE boats and that is EXACTLY what my expectations were coming in.

Imagine my surprise when I learned what's out there now.

whats the arrogance for? i did have intention on putting more money into the boat but i needed a place to start and figured this was a good place.
