If you are using this for Sport/fun boating but still want speed consider this 8s setup:

Leopard 5692 4D or 2Y - http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...o-5692&cat=148

Swordfish 240 ESC (out of stock at the moment, heck, almost every ESC he carries here is out of stock)

Prop: Octura x455-x457..................

Four 4s Lipos will be needed to make an 8s2p setup

i have a x452/3. would that prop work? do the 5692'2 come up very often used
so what im looking for is 8s2p setup with around 1000kv and an ecs able to handle the juice?
prolly goin back to SF. dont care for my latest esc. thanks for the info wakeman

im doing a simmilar conversion myself, although i havent been able to work on it in awile, i plan on doing more soon,,, have you got any pics of your rebuild yet

[gtrcguru]

the boat is still in transit. finished hull. no hardware no mounts. its in the f/s section on the 4th page 2/3 way down is the f/s thread w/ pics
hey wakeman. im looking at a Proteus X524 910KV/1530KV. whats ur opinion? thanks

[Make-a-Wake]

The Proteus outta be fine on 8s at 910kv.

[gtrcguru]

[larz001]

Asked a similar question not long ago. Here is what others thought.

Decided to go with a 1527, not enough of a price difference in the scheme of building a big boat to go with a lesser (but still very good quality) priced Leopard motor.
It will be my first high voltage boat, completely new territory for me. Everything else has been 4s setups.
LOL don't want to take out a 300$ esc and 300+$ worth of batteries trying to save 70$ on a motor.

Can you post a pic of the boat or a pic of one like it?
