    No can do...P-Limited is 4S. As for battery brands, I'm going to check out those Roaring Top and Giant Power packs. Thank you.

    In regards to your prop "recommendation", how can you suggest a prop without knowing what motor is installed? In the same boat, 1650kV motor will require an entirely different prop than, say, a 2050kV, or a 2300kV.

            Sorry I got the conflated with the 40X74 that was considering running on 6S and not P/L. Those props are for the 1600 motor on 6S. Two different Raider's here. For P/L I like a pair of 4S 3000-3300's in parallel. More ma than needed but you make gains in the final laps and don't stress batteries. Prop depends on motor.

              No worries...I'm used to being confused. Happens to me all the time. In regards to the motor going into my P-Limited Raider, it'll be a 2030kV. Prop suggestions/recommendations?

                In our 29" P/Lims with 2050 motors we have run cut down Octura 642 & M445 to 43mm. 443's, 442/3 CNC alum., ABC 1714 1715 and 643/3 Dr Props. Just see what the boat likes. If I had to take one for all around conditions I like the CNC 442/3 blades. Inexpensive, balanced out of the box with machine matched blades.

                  I'll stick with the SMC & Gens Ace I've been running for years in my off-road racing vehicles, and the SMC & HRB packs I've been running in my boats.

                  for my Raider M34 (P-Limited), and the ProMarine Skater X2 P-Open), that's why I'm looking for something better...something TRULY race-worthy. Unfortunately, until this "worldwide lockdown" ends, and races start up again, it's near impossible to talk with anyone in-person, to find out what they're using.
                  Let me start off my issuing an open, public, and honest apology. Not being one to "give up", even though I said I wouldn't consider the Dinogy batteries, I did actually continue research into them...and, the more I researched, the more I found out that they were better than I had initially believed. I had based my 'thoughts' from the first two reviews I had read...and, even then, I hadn't actually read them word-for-word.

                  I was also won't about not being able to talk to anyone...there was Mark, the owner/founder of Dinogy. So, I called him up, and we talked for a while...QUITE a while, in fact (over a half hour)...and, by the time we hung up, 12 batteries were ordered - 4 each of 3 different types/capacities.

                  I'll be honest...I'm going to put them against my others, and see how they truly do. If they aren't as good, back to the others I'll go. On the other hand, if they're at least as good...and, to be completely honest, I'm now fairlyy confident they'll actually be better...Mark can expect additional purchases from me, and others (I can be good about "spreading the word") in the future. Whether, or not, you realize you 'elbowed' me, "thank you" to those who did.
