    If you are already running 6s with that stock 2 pole motor, i dont see how you can get any more speed from that setup. 6s is really pushing the whole system hard, as it was designed to run on 4s. Only thing I can think of is a sharp berylium prop.

        Is the setup trimmed out right now? Does it right correct right now? What are your speeds right now?

        What prop are you spinnin right now?
        CF Fightercat Daytona, 21 year old Hitec Sea Nymph, Genesis and many more to come im sure.

          How many 6s runs have you had on the stock motor? I'm very suprised its lasted. Most seem to go with a leopard 4074 or 4082 with a kv suited to battery type and a turnigy 180 esc. Not sure about props maybe an m445? But 6s is way too much rpm for the stock motor as its a 2075kv I think. You want something like 1400kv on 6s

            Are you running two 3s lips in series...................or parallel? Parallel would make it a bit slow, but 6s should have it screaming. My buddy threw two 3s packs in his by accident thinking they were 2s and it was crazy fast.

              I have had 15 plus runs with 6 s.what does "right correctly" mean ? how should it be trimmed. i am getting 90kph with a brass prop the same size and pitch as the plastic one supplied , just to answer Q's asked. oh yes running 2times 3s in series.
