That was a great racing hull with 6 to 7 NiCd cells about 15 years ago. In order to give you good advice today we need to know a few more things about you and your hydro.

What are you using for batteries - NiMH, LiPo, voltage?

Prop size is important to know.

How much FE experience do you have?

What are your expectations for the model - speed, run time and amount of regular maintenance/parts replacement?

How much is in your hop-up budget?

There is also an article on Aztec somewhere highlighting my DPI AD hop-up. That boat was darn fast...

Here is the link to the full article based on my boat:
