Hey Gents. I just received it today and am kinda still up in the air for powering this one. I am going with twins for sure and am wanting to use 2 120 esc's running 5s LiPo's. I dont think Im gonna do a build thread but would appreciate any ideas for power and props to start with.

[Eyekandyboats]

he can tell you It's always better getting info right from the horses mouth. . no Ray I'm not calling you a horse, its a saying LOL :)

[Mich. Maniac]

[Piranha2]

Much better choice Mich......you'll like that cat!!! See why I didn't sell to you?

[SJFE]

I wouldent worry about gearing it with 2 big KBs. Just one more thing that can go wrong. She is a pretty cat. I'll have to try & not stare eveytime I lap ya...hahahahahahah

[Mich. Maniac]

piranha? SJFE, can i get a pay advance for me winning so I can just build this thing. Im outta stuff to sell. unless someone wants a 86 mustang gt. convertable????

[SJFE]

Dude to be perfectly honest just run it on a single KB9XL with a nice inline strut & rudder. You can allways go twins down the road.

[Mich. Maniac]

Thanks for lookin out Piranha! You guys make this stuff so much fun and painless, except for the wallet!LOL I have my setup all planned and will shoot pics of highlites of the build. Like when its done.

[Piranha2]

The real boat is Carbon Fiber but yours should give it a run for it's money to 75mph.

[Mich. Maniac]

what real boat? I have never seen one with carbon fiber. I believe the one I have is the kevlar. I would'nt think on my budget I will ever see that kinda speed. something to dream about though.

[Piranha2]

The real Maritimo, just search for it's name and you'll find it.
