    my first tunnel hull. got a couple questions

    i picked up an Aeromarine Predator. it has 380 sized 1850kv (not sure of the brand, hobbyking maybe) motor on K&B outboard. 200 amp skywing esc. i plan on running 4s. its got an x440/3 prop on it. would 2 blade prop be better on a tunnel hull? also what about a higher pitch prop for this motor, x642 maybe? also im wondering if anyone has a good idea to get the motor wires into the hull totally waterproof. lastly, how about the square end flex cable mess.... is there a better way to do this without square ends? im new to this style hull so any help or tips are appreciated. thanks

    Not really sure why you would want to change from the square end. There might be different setups that I am not aware of but the square ends work well.

    On my tunnel I installed 3 pieces of brass tubing on the rear of the radio box. I ran my motor wires through them and shrink wrapped around them. This method worked well for me...water tight.
