If that doesn't run 60mph Id be very surprised

Nice! Now I'm stoked!!!!

I got 49mph out of my stock genesis set up on 5s with TFL 440 prop.
Im upgrading to 4074 2200kv on 5s now with bigger prop, hoping to see 60+mph, thats with a single turnigy motor...

Perfect but I'm running 4s to each side.. So hopefully won't make too big of a difference.

Im guessing twin motors = 2 props = twice the water moved (potentially), taking into account the extra weight, if set up right I still cant see it having any dramas doing 60mph, but time will tell.

Do you have batteries and motors? If not you should run 5S for each combo Seaking 180A and 3674 1900kV. For the same power you will have less amps, better performance and more autonomy.With a 5S setup you can use bigger props .
This is not necessary to run 40000rpm, 35000rpm is perfect . I have a Genesis twin 5S, Seaking 180A and NEU Motors 1850kV. The cat is a dream to drive

Only thing I've bought so far is the hardware. Do you have a video? 5s sounds like a good plan :)

You don't need 180A esc.
120A esc is fine.

Did you have your mind set on a 4s set up? Do you have the lipo's now?

[Alfa Spirit]

Right, I think a Seaking 120A is enough but the Seaking 180A is a good value, no problem with this esc. Sorry I have no video. Have a look to this link, you have german setups for HPR 06 115cm, a little bigger than our Genesis 100cm I think this will help you. Don' t choose 6S batteries, they are too big.

120 it is then. This right? http://www.hobbypartz.com/07e-c-seaking-120a.html

Nope. I have only only bought the hardware. Rudder, Flex shafts, Stingers... Plus you guys convinced me I need 5s, so that's what I'm going with.

So I shouldn't get the 120? And no 6s... You guys convinced me I need 5s

Your setup should look like this

2 x 5S 5000mAh batteries, 2 x Seaking 120A ESC + program box, 2 x BL motors 1800kV to 2000kV 3674 size,
For your motors prefer Y wired motors. Brands : TPPower, Leopard, KEDA Saker, etc...
If you've got the money for vry good motors: NEU Motors and Tenshock

3674 4 Pole motor,and 2Y wired

Dually noted. Will do some thinking and will post some pictures of the painted hull soon when I can.

I ran a turnigy 120a ESC with my stock genesis motor on 5s, granted its an inefficient motor, but I was seeing ESC temps up to 70degC after 2mins running and wishing I had gone 180 from day one, I personally prefer to have a little up my sleeve. throttle response is awesoem with the t180.

I think I'm going to go with the 180. Better safe than sorry right?

.............. + program box, .................

What do you mean by program box?
