Hey I have a FC cheetah hull waiting to be built up trying to figure out the power though. Would a 5682 800kv motor on 10s1p work ok or is this just too much motor for the boat? I am looking to run oval and oval only, could care to go over 55 mph. Or should I run a twin? Anyone who knows racing boats I would really like some help I have experience setting up big cats for high speeds but they run twin drives and I want to try something different now. Thanks.

how big is the cheetah???? are you racing against other FE boats or will be running with gassers and nitro in open cat?We call ourselves the "Q" -
I run a cheetah (34.25") . Mine runs a leo 4082/2200 on 4S2P. It will go around corners at 55mph and has run 63.2....
No way you want a 56 anything in this boat. You would just be retreiving it more than driving.Comment

My similar-sized SprintCat racer runs 6S2P with a Neu 1527/1Y (1250 Kv). It runs 60 with a cupped and cut x455 and is a great, reliable race boat. Beware racing with cheap components. Reliability is as important as speed if you want to win, and a full one mile heat with mill and cooldown laps can stress cheap stuff more than just goofing around. Twins are cool but for a racer it is better to KISS. BTW, you can't race a Cheetah in P class (4S) since it is too long to be legal.

Thanks guys my decision will now be made easier. I will keep it simple. I have been building the longer 70+ mph mystic style boats but really want to try something new I hate having to slow down to 1/3 my boats top speed to make a turn.
-Maybe I just need to learn to drive better as Mike in the video is cranking turns with his mhz mystic lol.Comment

I'm pretty sure that vid is from French Polynesia lol. I was just showing how another mystic owner drives his boat.
This video is from Lake Ronkoma on the island. Another video not mine this belongs to chris a member on here.
