    How about a BBY Oval master?

    Would like to know what motor to use in one of these 21" BBY O.M. Thinking maybe a Leo 3650 series as it is approximately the same size as a ROAR motor, but not sure which KV to use for a 2S pack, and what prop would be a good choice.
    Would this be considered N2 Mono?
    I had one of these several years ago and they're great to run in small ponds and even in the river in front of my house. Wish I hadn't sold it, but you all know how that goes.
    cheers

        By todays standards, an Oval Master would be considered an N1 mono. When we were running NiCds and NiMh N2 boats were the size of the O.M.. Today's N2 boats are up to 27" long.

                Ive ran a Ovalmaster with a ul-1 motor and a x642 and it was pushing about 55-60mph when it took off and hit the docked paddle boat and sank. My bec quit. I may down the road build another one for a saw application, idk yet.

                      I do not recomend that. That is sorta like we ran the War Zone on 12 cells NiMh, It was fast as hell but you could loose the boat at any minute.
