genesis advise

[Rocstar]

I have a leo 4082 1600kv in mine with sk/t 180esc spinning a m445 prop...I usually get around 67mph sometimes alil more..

Sounds like it's running well! I ran a T-180 in a FC Daytona with a 1580kv outrunner on 6s. 62mph max flying level, but would do a heck of a hole shot...

I wanna say the cg is around 27% strut is high as it will go and is lvl..

Sorry, i didnt mean to sound like 8S is a stupid idea, but you probably are if your spending that much money for that boat.
you dont buy a crappy Hyundai and shove a Ferrari motor in it now do you?

Are you saying i should have bought a better quality hull, and if so which one would you recommend

There ya go http://www.keithbradleyboats.com/?wp...sh-8s-200a-esc

Buy one of those, run 8s with a 1400 or 1600kv motor. You'll go fast. Keith is great btw and this is a new esc, hifei stuff performs well

I also use this esc from Keith Bradley in my CF Genesis with a Neu 1521 1577kv on 8s.

Hey guys!

I'm new RC boats and new the Forum... this is my very first post That being said, I just purchased a Genesis 37' hull and looking for some help putting together a solid boat.

Currently thinking...

Motor: Leopard 4082 1600kv
ESC: Seaking 180a (do I need to run a separate RX power pack? I know it has a BEC, but I'm still new and don't know the best setup for this)
Batteries: Undecided... thinking 2 x 6s parallel for longer run times... is this ok for my ESC?
Prop: Undecided... from what I'm reading... I've seen m445, x440, x642... so I have yet to pull the trigger on my prop?
Drivetrain: stock 4mm (will later upgrade to 3/16) but for now, how do I get a 3/16 prop to fit on the stock 4mm shaft? is there an adapter, or do they have the suggested props for 4mm?

I have a buddy who has a amped up Black Jack 29 running around 60... I have to get me Genesis running faster than that LOL atleast 65 Any guidance you guys can provide would greatly be appreciated!

Thanks guys!

This is my genesis. It is about as fast as you should ask this "Hyundai" hull to go. Holeshots are rediculuous and it is reliable as you could ask for on 6s all day.
