Thanks for posting this stuff guys. Seems like the hull has some serious potential.

What do you think about 2 x cheap FSD motors 540XL 1845kV with a pair of Turnigy 120A?
6S for each combo

The HobbyCity boat does not come w/ TFL or HOR on the side.
That should work fine. Theres info on a HPR06, little longer and wider than the Genesis, w/ twin Feigao XL motors on 5S I think it is.. 8Xls? and its around 60mph.Comment

Do you have a link to this HPR06 twin Feigao 540XL ?Comment

Franks "NO FEAR" boat and emails back and forth w/ HPR of which I no longer have.
Im building my HPR very similar.Comment

Looking to the HPR setup I understand that each combo ESC/motor is powered by 5S, right?

Yes, 5S each.
And you can do it as you have shown, BUT.. your run times will be very short. Im running my twin HOTR on10XLs with 2 - 3S 5800mah in Series, then parallaled to each ESC, as you have shown, and if you stay on it hard, its less than 2 minutes. You have the room in the Genesis, Id give it 5 or 6S each. And I would still parallel it to both ESCs so they always see the same voltage.Comment

Ok Tiqueman.
That' s why I want to choose good motors with high efficiency and torque, high quality magnets like Tenshock 2240/9 motors.Comment

Id still recommend 6S each, if thats the cell count your looking to run. Its a lot less stress on your batteries. Ive heard of some guys puffing cells and they arent even getting hot. Just from the demand and rapid discharge I guess. If I could put 2 6S batts in my HOTR, I would have done it. Im actually thinking of dropping to 8 or 9XLs in it so I can run 4S2P
The plan for now, because I have it all, is to run 10XLs on 6S2P in the HPR06. Eventually it will get Neus, or now Im looking at the Tenshock as well....Comment

RTR info
Today I decided Id try and get it a little closer to seeing the water. As w/ all new RTR boats, I pulled the shaft to grease it. Upon finding no grease at all on the flex and a small amount inside the sqare housing of the stub shaft, I also discovered that the stuffing tube had broke loose. Something all of you getting the RTR need to check. I had been over it w/ a fine tooth comb and had no idea it was loose. What Im getting used to doing now w/ RTRs is gutting the entire boat upon purchase and rebuilding it so that you know for certain everything is right.Comment

Do you think that 3S per motor (3000kV) can work fine or is this "light" for this hull?Comment
