    The water line goes from the rudder to a three way splitter each one feeding an esc and motor it has two outlets one in each sponsons
    I'm going to change it might get another three way splitter a send it all in to one esc then the other and only use one outlet
    I'm not sure if each esc would get even water flow the way it is now maybe ok for the T120 escs

      2.4 radio works with no problems with range issues
      Fm might be dodgy!
      Same Kevlar hull as my Cheetah works great!

        Had another close look at the hull it think it might be all Kevlar and no glass
        There's no joining seems and the top i think is also Kevlar not 100%
        Would need a second option

                So you don't like the motors that it came with?

                  Sam, how much was the boat with shipping, minus motors and esc's? Did you have to call them to get it that way?

                    Do you think the setup will work, I followed your lead when you bought these motors last year, it worries me a bit because i think you sold them
                    I still have 4 of them, just haven't gotten around to building anything with them yet. They should work well. Keep the props small and the timing low.
                    I did notice some problems with certain ESCs when using higher timing and somewhat high RPMs. On 4s you should be fine if you keep the timing down...it still doesn't hurt to do a bench test on any setup though.

                      Thanks, just waiting for the other motor to turn up

                      I Set the timing to 3 and set the PWM at 8 on both escs

                      I have soldered together the two black 8AWG esc leads in to a 8mm bullet
                      but not happy the wires are to thick to get a nice solid connection

                      What do You think I need to make a set of 8mm esc connectors ?
                      or can I buy them?
                      Might be ok on the battery side,hard wiring both black and both red lipo leads in to two 8 mm bullets

                      Because I have conected the two escs together on the FC escs do I just use a
                      Y lead?
                      and do I need to remove one of the red wire?

                              Ok I'll do that. I pulled these from my photobucket files.

                                Why do you have my pictures in your photobucket files?
                                That's the third boat you have posted pics of that I have built.
