    Boat Tune-up For the new Season

    As it's starting to warm up, I'm thinking of getting more speed out of my boat. Here are current specs:
    -DF22 Hydro
    -Feigao 540L
    -X-power 100A
    -Fullers hydo drive system
    -Octura X440 (I know it is too big)
    -2 7-cell nimh in series

    This setup gets about 40 mph. Two big things I'm planning on are lipos and differen prop. All recommendations on possible improvements are welcome. It's alot of fun to drive, but it is always better faster!

    What's your Kv rating on that motor?

    And there are a few youtube videos of someone who has an XL in their vortex...

      It is a 2478 kv motor. An XL might be good, OSE says the L gets 400-700 watts, the XL 1000.
