            Hello Mike, is it possible for me to still get in line for a GP400 with FE cowling?
            Do i run 6s2p in these or just 2x3s?
            I am not in the US right now, but I am committed to the reservation,
            Thanks,
            Tim

              Dang, apparently my post did post earlier! I ran 6s2p when I had mine, but if you can get 3s packs in enough MAH, then you may be able to use them. Length of large 3s packs may be an issue tho! I ran (2) 4200mah 6s lipos in my V1...the V2 should handle 5000mah 6s lipos due to the extra room. But I suggest the buyer check pack sizes before buying them to be sure they fit the hull! Mike

                Thanks Mike, if I missed your earlier posts regarding batteries configuration, then I apologize! I am happy to hear that 6s2p works, I prefer that over any other configuration.
                I have no wi fi, and the place i stay had a black out, only cafes on the street have wi fi sometimes.
                Turns out the theives stole the circuit breaker panel box last night so the entire building was out of electricity. Lol....
                I am told that usually it is the work of the building maintainence workers who do that, then the landlord would have to pay him for the box as well as the reinstallation labor.
                BTW, I am in Armenia, part of the former USSR.

                        Yeah, it's funny I originally ordered a GP335 V2 and then I asked Mike off forum about the GP400 V2 and he said OK, then everybody else ordered a GP400 V2 too..

                          I'm running the GP400 V1 & I couldn't be happier. It's leading the points tally at the moment in our club.
                          The V2 I suspect would be a bit quicker. Maybe next year for me.
                          See the danger. THEN DO IT ANYWAY!!!

                            (4) GP400v2 kits ordered to fulfill the above 4 build requests. Should be cut early next week and as soon as they arrive, I will get on the builds! Mike


                            Paul, That is great to hear you are leading your club points! So glad you are enjoying the 400...and all the other kits you have gotten from me! haha

                              Sounds great! Looking forward to see my boat being built.
                              Thanks again, Mike!
                              Motor choice, I know what Mike likes, but wonder what others think. I have an LMT 2280/5 = 1490 kv, a CC1717 and a NEU 1527 = 1500 kv, but considering a NEU 1530, either a 0.75D = 1580 kv or a 1.5D = 1355 kv. What do you think guys? Also open to other suggestions. All on 6S.
