    Not sure about this one, but even for slower speeds you could have a high amp load only running 4s??

      I would suggest a leopard 4082 1550 motor and 6s. You will be happier with the runtime.

        I have the same motor on 6s and love it. I think the Leopard has a slight edge over the Castle 1520.

                But.....if you are dead set on 4s, this 4074 1828kv Keda will get you 35 to 40mph with an x445/m445. I just ran my first Keda from Steven today........its the 1391kv version, ran it on 6s.......it's a beast and sounds sweet!

                  If you put a prop that was going to run 35-40mph the runtime should be well over 10 minutes.

                            Hi,
                            It was used and setup for nitro.
                            Found it on craigslist.
                            Trying to make what i have in parts right now work,
                            To see how it may run on 4s.

                              is the boat just to heavy for 4s? A spartan on 4s is not much and it must be a lighter boat.
