Looking for KV recommendations for T offshore class racing. Was looking at running little higher KV and running 8s. New to all this so any help would be greatly appreciated.

if you listen to other racers you will at best be as fast as them.Comment

Use the chart in post #6
If you want to try and go a little faster, use one of the higher KVs within the list for your class.
Just remember that using a higher KV means a smaller prop and a bigger ESC.

It takes more than just a fast boat to win a race! Knowing your boat and experience in race water and actual racing, being able to drive fast with other boats is a skill that is learned over time on the water. I've seen plenty of fast boats not finish, and slower boats winning races and regattas, because they finish. It is also not about winning, those with that attitude create untold problems. This is a hobby, we do it for fun. Win some, lose some, just have fun and enjoy it.NZMPBA 2013, 2016 Open Electric Champion. NZMPBA 2016 P Offshore Champion.

Those achievements are what, 7-10 years old now.
Maybe you should try doing something useful. How about being a National President, or more locally be on a club committee, President, secretary, tresurer, club captain etc., build a venue, build a club membership, help others build boats, get them running well, put more back in than you have got out! All things I have done and continue to do.
I have had to work hard to build interest in FE boats against those who think gassers are the only thing. I've literally been up against, and I quote, ? don't give a *!***!***!***!** about electrics", by a national President and committee. I have raced against them, beaten them, had boats run over by them, even competed in offshore endurance racing against gassers with FE boats with some success and gained respect from many for the effort. In that time I have had some small achievements, that has been cool, but I have also had grief for the effort, literally cheated out of the President's cup one year (by the President!) and done 2nd place 2 or 3 times. I have learned that it has to be fun or just don't bother! That all comes with time, passion and effort. These days if I win a race, cool. If I dnf, oh well next one. If a boat gets damaged racing, that sucks, fix it up for the next race day. I don't care if I win or not, if I can help someone else be able to compete and win, then I win too. Going home with boats not broken is better than having to fix them or buy more parts. Maybe when you grow up you will get it.

Good. Why don't you LEAVE this forum, and go join a motorcycle road racing forum, where I'm sure your snotty know it all attitude will be more at home. I have had the great displeasure of reading your post for a couple of months now. TIRESOME.Comment
