The motor maybe okay in the boat on 6s just reduce the prop back to the 640 and see what speed and temps you get. Then we can take a more educated guess as to the right set-up.
      My temps running theleopard 4074 1650kv and raider 150amp esc were 94* on the esc and 86 on the motor with the 645 prop. Oh and we also met you friend Doug (samek)
      Appreciate the advice. But, I am running out of patience for this trial-and-error stuff. So, I just got a Leopard 4074 1650kv, and I'll use one of my older 6 cell 5000 mah packs across the back. Not sure when I can get out with this setup.

        That is the setup I am running. Leopard 4074 1650 kv 150 amp raider esc. With a 645 prop you will run 40 with good temps. If you want more speed you can swing a 648. Only thing is with the 6s across the back you may need to angle the strut down a little.

          Newboater and Bigford, great morning at the lake earlier. Thanks so much for the help, both you guys. Looking forward to squaring away my ride and keeping it in the pond! Thanks again, see you next week.

              Was it my inadvertant duck chasing or flying out of the pond that did it? Even after showing my rc prowess by sticking the landing on that second blow over? Oh well, Saturday it is.

                Nothing to do with you I think they have been there long before us and the fast electrics are not their cup of tea.

                  fweasel,
                  No results for you today for some reason the spectrum 301 receiver took a dump. Lost signal intermittently and the fail safe kept the prop running in reverse.

                      What did that have on it 10 passes before it bit the farm?? I don't think it even got above 110*

                      The SUPER DAVE rescue tug rescued the impulse with the motor running in reverse. Damn your wife has good hearing. That being said will all the rescues mine being the most taxing pushing against the tug the whole way, she only used 2300mah out of the 5000mah. Ordered a new receiver hope it makes it here by Saturday.............

                        My biggest available ESC is 120 amp rated. It's a Turnigy Aquastar like Bigford's. It looks like a re-branded Swordfish 120 with two extra caps and only one cooling tube. It even works with my Swordfish programmer. So, with only 120 amp rating, I am going to start with an M545 prop instead of 645. Battery location is now an issue. I think I'm going to lay it next to the motor and just be off balance to the port side. May get to the lake tomorrow.

                        Glad to see you using Artist Lake. I used to watch the nitro boats there 25 years ago.

                          The apparitions left motor was cutting out. Unplug the right esc and alls good. Two 120 esc with a battery for
                          Each one red wire pulled on one esc.
                          Took the left esc and ran it up in the genesis with no
                          Problems.

                              Just received the swordfish program box v2
                              Plugged in the esc and nothing.. upgrade or esc press ok
                              Then a blank screen. I'm really starting to hate fast electrics.
