      Good prop, good c rating on the batts, and a good esc!

        I probably don't have the same prop as you.The ESC will be your weak link.I'm pulling alot of amps to do mine.I'm running a X645 and a Castle motor,T180 ESC.

                      oh my lord. ran the mg today.. all i can say is im glad i got rid of my revo! this thing tears up the water. i am uploading the video on youtube now. well here is the news. seemed to hop a little. i know we can fix that and well, the esc and motor didnt even feel a tad bit warm. they were mild at most. now the battery wires and wires on the esc were a tad warm. everything was great except steering. for one it was reversed. i need to call trx to help reverse that. and the second thing... it turned way more to the left than the right and the trim was really messed up. i can fix both of those. now the prop, it would take a while for the boat to get up and go as you can see in the video. as you can also see in the upcoming video is the pond is damn small. as soon as i got full throttle i had to drop it. i think you all know how happy i am. wait for the first 30 seconds of the video. you hear my cousin and i say wow, oh my god, this thing is amazing, im so happy... etc.

                                Mason the turning is due to the offset rudder and is notmal. I would also clean up the wires on that esc. If I remember right I saw butt connectors on the wires..... those things can cause restrictions in the wire. I would solder and heat shrink it right and eliminate the butt connectors. Maybe that was your other boat I was seeing those on.
