      Was that the E-Bay Genesis........6S on a 6xl motor= if that what the original owner was running, I suspect the motors could be stressed and not have much life left in them.

          Are you looking just to do SAW running (one or two passes over a few seconds each) or trying to get some decent run time as well?

            I want to do both! I have some 4s witch i wanted to do most running with, hopefully high 50 to low 60! And then the 6s for saw runs hopefully touch 70! What r thoughts? Should i remove the motors and run something different?

              Twin 10xl's or two Leopard 4082 1500kv on 5-6s each should do the trick. Just FYI, the Genesis doesn't like anything over 65mph, around 70mph they take flight, how do i know,..... It happened to me with a single Castle 1717, T-180 on 6s and a x 645 prop.

                  I can do 60mph on 4s in my Revo
                  but running more than 4s on those motors in a boat, could be asking for smoke
                  and I would think SAW only?

                    If my calcs are right, 6s on those motors is 61494 rpm's. Those motors will . I would have to agree with Brad and go with the 10XL or the Leopards. JMO

                          4S will be pushing 40,000 RPM.......those are really 3S Motors.
