Currently I'm thinking

with a

Aquastar 240.


This is a 8s set up correct?

That motor is to high kv for 8s for a motor & boat of this size giving over 39000rpm unloaded. id look for something around 1000kv on 8s.

Thats a 6s motor but will certainly do the job well!!

This motor would rock on 8s and is plenty big.......... http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...or_1050kv.html

6s would probably suit me better. Keep costs a little lower as I need new batts as well.
I haven't used one before but I think I will need a spark eliminator, definitely if I go 8s. Kintec has a few.

Would I get better run time on a 6s or 8s set-up?

I have a load of 3/16 cable but 8 to 3/16 seems a bit too big a difference.
Should I go up to 4mm cable on this one?

thanks

That hull is borderline 6s/8s to me.........................

3/16 setup should work, I thought you intended to run 8s?

What do you mean borderline 6/8s??

What battery configuration do you suggest for 8s?

I mean that a 42" boat is on the edge of being either a 6s or 8s boat. Run 8s2p, four 4s batts, two in series then paralleled to another set.

Ah ok got ya, and what mah batts should I look for?

I currently only have 4s 4200mah batteries

[Drax21]

I'm thinking Haiyin 5000mah 40c

Even a Leo 4082/1600 on 6s2p will get you around 90-95km/h with a 448 prop. it's not bad.

I have the same setup(turnigy 5690 1320kv-aquastar 240hv-6s5800 zippy lightmax X2 parallel)on a 45 cardiff.The prop is the prather 240(53,8mm and 1,55 pitch).
And i can play for around 20 minutes!!!!!!!Highly recomended setup.Otherwise you can go for a T600 outrunner 1400kv and prop around 47 but it is smoother than the 5692 monster!!!!
