What rigger for P hydro?

[Peter A]

Hi all
Just wanted some input as to what would be the best rigger for P hydro? Let me know your thoughts and experience. Initially it will be mostly for two laps and speed runs, but oval racing also. Motor/ prop choices too.

i like the zippkits jae-33 rigger set up for 4s oval racing. 40mm motor with a kv between 2000 and 2400 / 180 esc and a cupped abc h7 prop .

After running the JAE and Keps I prefer my Keps. JMO I have tested 4S with from a 3660 limited, 1415 1Y, 1515 1Y to a 36X84 TP 2060kv. props from 1716 1717 1817/2 ,1815/3 and 1816/3. The 1450 and H-7 H-10 were not as fast as the newer ABC's

Ok so from what I see these are the options out there.
JAE 33 - kit
Keps - scratch build from plan
RSX 310 - kit
Pro Boat Sworder

I'm leaning towards the JAE on cost and performance. I don't really want to do a scratch build or I would do the Keps.
Any more thoughts, options or opinions?

Peter.
If your race water is mostly rough & windy, the ML Boatworks kit is an excellent performer. Mine flies straight and level across the waves. She wins her fair share of races.

I do like the look of the RSx310, I'm kinda leaning that way now.

Thanks Tony,
That vid is of my gen 1.5 raptor. I haven't been producing them for a few years.

If I was building a boat other than my own, I'd build a KEPs.
