    looks pretty darn good.

    What coupler/driveline/prop are you using?

        Haven't run it yet but the battery can move forward and backward freely so I can adjust it. What should be the balance point in these hulls as it is my first one(lot's of monos) and I am very excited with it...

          Thanks, actually a friend of mine (he is into scale models) has dealt with the looks of the model, I am just a speed freak...

          Coupler is an ETTI 3.2mm to .130 flex, added a little piece of antenna tube at the flex so it matches the coupler... Prop is stock, 29mm I think...

                Will this set-up work on this boat? I know the speedo is fine, but not sure on the motor?http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tab%3DWatching

                  That looks like the same one, just blue instead of red. If it is same, you are golden. that motor screams!

                    Yes it is the same one, Boy they sure have gotten cheap. They have a lot of power at the cheapest price you can get. I found with Lipo this motor would be good on a little bigger boat about a 18 inch. On my 12 inch Mono (MP) it is too much.

                      That is a great price on that motor and ESC combo I am using 2 of those esc's but 2 different motors rated at 3200 kva they seem to be pretty good so far and it sure makes the sport affordable I would buy two at that price because they don't come up that cheap very often but I didn't check on the shipping I hope it is not a rip sometimes they charge like 20 bucks shipping and kill the whole deal>

                          Hopefully I will be able to get it out for the first run tomorrow! Got my batteries from HK last night.

                                You mean this Randy? Hope to have mine all painted by this week. I am spraying red right now.
