    $65 plus shipping for both with jackets. I would do 75 shipped.

      Made a couple more runs on the 5S setup and as I move the batteries around I am finding the sweet spot first run was 61.1 then a set up for the second run after everything cooled back down and hit 62.3... The cg on the Genesis is a very important thing to keep on the setups...

        Still playing with the balance with these batteries but I think I am about at my peak with speed at 63.1 ... I can't seem to get beyond that with flat water...

          Well today was a day I knew was coming but I had hoped it would be a few months away. The stock motor wire leads fried today on my second run and the boat just stopped on the water. I took our trusty rescue boat out and brought it back in. When I opened the hatch the magic smoke escaped and left me with a dead motor....lol My question is will this have fried the ESC too? I don't have another motor to test it with so have no idea if it too fried... What else will I need to order with a new sss 4082 200kv motor, I have on my list.... a water jacket 55mm long, front mount plate, and rear ring mount, am I missing anything?
