Thinking about building or purchasing a partially rigged MM hull from Kintec. I have read in many threads that if you want a reliable setup to stay around 30,000rpms max loaded to keep from killing the drive line. Trying to decide if setting up 4s or 6s is the correct way to go. I do not plan to race and would like something that scares the crap out of me (seems like I need this to have fun)
I currently have a UL-1 with a swordfish 220+, leopard 2200, X642 prop, running 4S 2p 3200mah packs.
Does anyone have experience with a reliable setup that goes somewhere around 65mph?
Looking at loaded prop speeds looks like anything over 55mph will start sacrificing drive line reliability. Is this correct?
I have been looking at the Mean machine so I would have a boat that can do rougher water than the UL-1. Seemed pretty good bang for the buck. Does anyone have any suggestions on that decision or could recommend something different for the $?
Thanks in advance for the help. New to this site and really enjoy everyone being so helpful with technical data.
