            Well its supposed to be a mini Zonda. I'm gonna call it mini rivercat. Its going to look identical to my other rivercat.

                  3s will be close to 29,600rpm. My suggestion for prop is 637 cut down to 635. You hull is quite narrow and lipos will most likely be placed as far out as possible. You know this already.

                    Yea I think I'm going to rethink my motor choice. If it fits I may yank my 2200 castle out my rivercat and use it in this boat on 4s. I already know this will be reliable as it was in my geico and had no issues with a turnigy 120esc which I am going to run a higher amp esc just because I'd rather over do it than cut it close.


                    ^^^^^Holy run on sentence batman! Lol

                      You are a machine! You must be building these things in your sleep, your cranking these boats out one after another. I guess having another project in between running is a good idea. Make this a good one so I have something to guide me on my next build. I was thinking a small cat to settle down on battery costs. Get going on in!

                        What do you guys think of the 2400kv 1415 sct motor castle sells on 4? Looking at about 35k RPM's with that motor. I actually ran my 2650kv 1512 motor on 4s in my 26" proboat shockwave and it worked. I used the mm2 esc with it that I water-cooled. I'm tempted to try the same setup in this boat with a boat esc with about a 220a rating and a smaller prop under 40mm. Ideas? Suggestions?

                          This little boat is so badass I don't wanna waste time waiting to build it. I have most everything to get it going anyway. I'm seriously considering my car esc because I know it's a very good esc, I already have one and its compact and easy to install. It also worked perfectly in my 26" mono. I'm so undecided on this as I could go several different ways ..... Thoughts?

                            You know the concerns with a car esc but if if worked before... How fast was the proboat with the motor and esc your thinking of putting in the cat? If it's the same setup, props included you may be disappointed with performance. I thought you might be looking at spinning some rpm once you have it dialed in. Something like 2400kv or more on 3s, then 4s. 2200kv on 4s is what I thought was a sport boat setup. I think your sport boat setup days are over!
