    motor/esc/battery/prop setup advice

    Just looking for opinions on a setup that I'm going to try on a new hull I just bought.

    I picked up this aeromarine avenger pro 44-inch cat. Already set up for brushless. It has a leopard 5692 730kv motor. Had an older version hydra 240hv that went bad. I'm replacing it with a castle ice2 200hv. sky lipo 5000mah 40c 4s packs in series for 8s. And a 54mm 1.4 pitch 2-blade prop. You guys think this is an ok starting point? The motor and esc are already in the boat. Still have yet to purchase the lipos and prop. Is there anything I might need to change here? Fe calc says 44mph with this setup. Not too concerned with the speed, just want reliability. I need confirmation! thanks!!

    old castle esc are very delicate in my opinion you should have been good with you previos setup but you should be cool with the better new ice i have a cc120 that hangs in there but the bec went out and its a matter of time before it burns. Ive been looking at this for a 8s alternative
