need speed help mc

...or you could just wait for the Spartan's motor to go up in smoke running on 6S, or for the hull to split wide open when it hits anything or when he stuffs it...

...just saying...

You can't compare the MC with that plastic toy. You've already won this battle.

I tried to tell him they weren't all that but that hero video has got him hooked. I'm gonna kill him in the corners and by the time he catches me (if he runs 6s, that's his only chance) we will be turning again. Hardhead. I read about them before I purchased the mc and was worried about the overheating so I just bought a mc and a flex cable from these kind folks at ose. Gonna get a m445 for the cool weather and after some boat tuning I think I'll piss him off good.

The boat is about 5 MPH faster with the stock UL-1 set up on 4s1p 6000mah with a grim 42/55. It wakes it right up, without making the boat to fast that it will be destroyed in a wreck. I race mine in LSO with this set up, and it is fast. 4s2p can be to much weight for a 700W motor. Watch your temps...

does anyone know how the castle 1415 , 2400kv will perform in the motley crew ? is the 1515 better ?

It's hard to get th e CG back far enough with a 1512, a 1515 would be even heavier. My personal experience with this boat and having done lots of testing is the lighter you can keep this boat the better it runs, never run the CG at more than 30% and adjust for water with the strut not moving the packs forwards. If the cg is forwards the boat tends to hook/roll in turns when it gets the ripples/waves hitting the front corners.
I've actually slowed mine down, every time I run the damn thing I'm doing hull repairs, if I kept pushing the speeds it wouldn't have lasted the season!

Thanks s.h. What's your prop recommendation , I'm running the Grimm 42x55, what's with the new lifter props ? Thanks !

[siberianhusky]

For a stock set up an m445 is a good all around prop, a little faster and a little warmer at the end of the run that the Grim prop.
Oddly enough in rough windy conditions I've found a x440/3 to work the best. Hull seems to stay settled on the water a little better.
