    Newbie asking for help!

    Good evening,

    I am long time gas boater, just got my first electric. I got a good deal on a radtek powerboat, 24 in cat hull. Came with two seaking 35a esc's and two 28mm outrunner brushless motors. I am hoping this is going to be a fast little sucker. Need help with batteries and was wondering if setting up the boat is same as setting up a gas cat? trim and such. anyother pointers you could fill me in with would be great, thanks in advance

    PS need a good place to find props, preferably thinned, balanced and sharpened. ( dont really think I have the patience to do those small props myself!)

    Welcome to the Fast Electric Forums. Better warm up your camera,We all want to see pictures. Motor specs would be helpful for sure. 35 amp esc is pretty small amps. Unless you are running High voltage low amps may not get you big speed. How many kv are the motors? And how many volts max?
    Don't forget to put your brain in gear before you engage your mouth! Thanks Dad!
