    Next step for hornet.

    Got a hornet hull to check out electric f1. I purchased a SK 120 pro esc
    And a leopard 3650. Added 3s 4500mah lipos all on a OS leg I had from nitro. tried various props with various results. Bottom line is the boat isn't fast enough for me. What would be the next step motor esc battery configuration. I run 1/4 gas F1 that's why I want to go faster.
    Doesn't matter, real or RC, boats are just a hole in the water where you throw your cash.

                Yes. I'm a lil fanatical about the temps on my motors. Even my gas motor. Heat is bad. Thanks. I'm probobly just use 2 2s for now to see how it works. Thanks.
