    Best setup questions for my 25" prince

    Hi guys,
    i have a 25" brushless prince boat. i was thinking about getting a 2050kv leopard 3660 brushless motor on 2x2s in series to make 4s and they are both 4000mah for the setup. not sure what prop to use but i want the best runtime possible but i still want the boat to go as fast as possible with not too much heat on the motor or esc. I would like it to go faster than my old setup which was a 380 2881kv brushless on 3s. My goal speed would probably have to be around 40mph.
    answers will help alot
    thanks alot

    Also if someone owns one of these prince hulls or knows stuff about them can you please tell me if I have to strengthen the hull at all?? They seem very strong but there is a slight flex in parts of the hull but I think it's better to give a bit then if you have it very stiff it may crack! please let me know what you guys think about motor choice and strengthening the hull!
    Thanks alot

      Didnt I tell you this before?

      These hulls are thin- if you are going to go fast adding some strength is essential. Add 1-2 layers of carbon on the floor. Use thinned 30 minute (or longer) epoxy.

      For props I like the K42 so far. I have a 3 blade 437 thats OK. I would like to try a 440/3 blade next.

          Not to be rude, but this is like the 3rd or 4 th thread you have opened asking the same questions about the same boat. You have been given a bunch of good answers in the other threads, just make a choice and go with it. People have given you combos that work, pick one.

                  i am hoping the hull will be strong enough without putting any carbon sheet in because won't I have to remove the boards and motor mount to be able to put it in or would I be able to just cut rectangles and glue it In piece by piece?? Like 2 long pieces where the batteries will go and smaller pieces under the motor mount?? Or would I get away with just going around the motor mount and boards?? like cut a holes for 5"them??Would that be better? Thanks for your help

                        hey guys i have decided to pull out the battery mount, motor mount receiver mount and servo mount out and put some of that carbon cloth stuff down. I guess i will have to work around the shaft but thats not hard to do. Can someone please find me some of the carbon cloth in an australian online shop cause otherwise it will take ages for the stuff to come if i buy it from honk kong or america. Also i may have a fair bit of troule getting the motor mount and all the other stuff out because of heaps of araldite around it. any suggestion in how to get the stuff out without damaging the hull or the mounts? and getting rid of all the excess araldite left in the hull? thanks alot
