Just joined the MC crew!

Is the boat running wet? Strut to low? CG to far forward?

[Doby]

Go to the 2:22 mark of the vid...mine with stock electronics running 50.5 Mph on the gps.

Doby- she's airing out pretty well, but could air out a touch more. I have the strut level...1/8" up from the sponson bottoms. I'll try the M445 and see how she goes. Are you running yours on 4s? I see the motor is rated for up to 5s, so I might pick up a pair to try. The Seaking 120 showed up today, so I'll get it hooked up over the weekend.

How would a 3 blade prop work out?

[Doby]

A single 4s 5800 mah, 25C Turnigy.

Mines strut is 1/2" from the bottom. Running a very modified X452.

[Prodrvr]

Wow a 1/2"! I'll have to get another prop for sure.

[Doby]

That lets the motor spin the big prop...and helps air out the hull.

[Prodrvr]

I think it might be time to start modding the hull and rebuild.

[Prodrvr]

Thinking of going with a SSS 3674 2075Kv on 5s

[Mxkid261]

I would toss a motor/esc in it, an m445, and go let er rip. I wouldn't want to go any faster than 50 unless its reinforced. If you find yourself wanting more speed you may want to look into building something or buying something more capable.

I'm actually waiting on a FC Daytona that I bought to show up

I agree, don't waste your money on the SSS motor and 5S, the stock setup will push the cat as fast as it can stand. As stated, these hulls are too fragile for high speeds. Mine runs stock electronics, 4S 5000 mAh pack and a modded x445 for top speeds in the upper 40s in race water. The bottom of the SpeedMaster strut is about 3/8" above the bottom and angled up at the prop end by two degrees.

The Daytona will be a better choice for higher speeds and would be best, IMO, on 6S and a 40x82 motor, the Kv depending on speed and run time expectations.

Planning on going with twin 4082's on 6s

[Prodrvr]

And the stock 1800kv motor will handle 5s, so I'll get a couple and play with props.

[Prodrvr]

Fluid- you run just one pack?
