          If you feel that the current setup is too heavy, you could go use two lighter weight 4200 6s lipos (8400mah). Lighter weight will run less wet, but of course runtime may be shorter.

            I use two NEU 8300mah 3s packs wired in series for my 6s1p setup (1527 1y, Castle LV 240 ICE), but my hull is a hydro.

                Using your same motor/esc the run time will be shorter using the 8300 6s1p. Your two 5000 pack 6s2p will run longer (8300 vs. 10000mah)

                  Nice bends - I wish I could do that. I just built two customer spec FE30's with straight runs of brass tubing - easy and neat.

                  My Drifter uses a spark plug wire separator I stole from my motorcycle

                  I hand-made some carbon fiber separators for the Cheetah I built for Cameron

                  When I find time to rig my Cheetah I think I'll try your polished tubing idea-looks really nice. I talked to Keith about having him crank out some CF separators and he may do so (when He finds the time )

                    hey properchopper i used 7/32 tubing and i used my left over 3/16 flex cable inside the tubing to get the bends....on the tight bends i would put my vice grip on the cable and turn it so the cable tightens and shrinks and pull as you turn it worked great
