    Something a little different (scratch built)

    Here is a little project ive been working on for a while now. (Some of you will remember it from the red board)

    2 8l kb45's (looking for other options)
    2 4s 30c poly rcs
    2 hydra 120s
    442's

    Its only in rough primer right now and it needs a little work but it should be done in time for the big thaw. Let me know what you think.

                    I would guess 45" or bigger judging by the pics. that ammo motor would not be enough for this boat (but I could be off)

                        the boat is probably over 50" and will require more power than a 2300kv ammo I would imagine twins of some sort or one monster motor. (but this is all speculation let wait for the owner to chime in)

                          i think itd be kinda hard on the motors but then again as long as its 4s to each motor then itd be fine.

                              The boat is 42" long and yes the ammo and or the sv setups would probably vanish into a plume of smoke in it. I used to run fegaio 8xls in it on 4s but they struggled to much with it. I runs well with the kb45 8ls in it but the quality of them there motors is horrible. They are out of balance ( and yes ive tried to balance them with no avail) and really lack power for their size and weight. I really want to run neus but thats a big chunk of change for two motors.
