How many cells or packs do you want to run? Also how fast do you want to go? If you want to stick with something stock get a 7xl but you wont be running a large prop. Also why run a 2 pole motor when you can get a 4 pole that will perform better? Look at this one, same price but 4 pole http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...prod=keda-4074 Or you can get a Tacon 4074 if you dont like the Keda. But if your new to FE boats a Feigao may not be a good choice. Its a good motor. But the Keda/Tacon will perform better and for the same price.

I have been messing around with mine for a while now and i think with this boat you should stick with 4s like i have .... its plenty fast believe me
Leopard 3674 2650 kv with a swordfish 200 and the softest timing setting.
2s2s 5000 40c lipos and an m545 will get you to 60 mph keeping it on the water is the tough part
Airdams, c.o.g, turn fins, numerous props all wont make it an easy boat to stay stable for long over 60 IMO.
Its a great RTR hydro just put a prop and a decent set of bats. in it and enjoy it

[Mike whiting]

so With tHat sEt up You still run the Bats in seEries what abouy 1 4s or 6S

[jamie]

4s 1p is fine but the length of the lipo becomes an issue. I just ran 67 mph on 2s 2s on my ul1 ... BUT not stock and half inch air dams all the way to back of sponsons and its purely a saw application.

Cool I am excited what size c

Cool do you like running deans and also what size connectors do you run to connect esc and motor

[jamie]

My leopard is 4 mm to the esc and i use all 5.5 everywhere else .
Deans are ok but tend to get hot with longer run times, i swapped them out when i went to the other motor / esc package

[Mike whiting]

Is 4mm better than 5.5mm is 5.5mm ok to use I just want to get the right things

[Mike whiting]

Will the deans melt and how do you run in series with bullet connectors or how do you make connections I should ask

[jamie]

The 5.5s are the way to go but the 3674 leopard has 4 mm connectors and its not good to mess around with the motor cables as some are actually part of the motor windings, i believe you can heat them off and resolder, but i didnt want to mess with them as there seems to be no heat dramas so i leave them alone.

[jamie]

Dont know about melting but they do get mighty warm and series is pretty simple positive of the first battery to esc red wire. negative of first battery to positive of second battery and the negative of the second battery to the black esc wire. Your standard ul1 is wired up this way with the deans connectors. Do a search of the o.s.e store in tips and info to be sure before you do anything, i dont wanna blow up your new lipo's for ya LOL
