            I am a new bee but could I run my ESC / MOTOR / BATTRIES with Eagle Tree on a ducted fan deal to check the load? I know it will not be the same as the boat just thinking.

                well if anyone can help me out on this took the revolt out yesterday and run it first on 4s with the m545 and i got 42mph then i tried it on 5s now i have changed to the 180a esc also gave it a run and on 5s i got a whopping 41.7 so whats the deal i have a tacon 2 pole motor 3674 1900kv which i paid 36 dollars for brand new in a similar boat and in the revolt its a leopard 3674 4 pole 1900kv which i paid over 80 bucks for new and to be honest the tacon is 10mph faster than this leopard or have i just got a bum motor do i need higher timing on the leopard its at 11.25 on the tacon im at 7 so far im just not impressed with this leopard motor at all but its the first one ive owned if anyone could help with this because with all i have read on this forum my setup on 5s should be haulin and its not i am uploading video that i will post today so you can see the boat in the water and by the way the amp draw on 5s with the m545 was only 83 amps it is a short video cause i was bringing it in to check temps

                        To give you an idea, I run a leopard 3674 1700kv in my Titan 29 mono hull, with seaking 120 on 5s2p and x444 prop, and my speeds are right at 50. You should be way faster than me by comparison. The leopard motor is much better than the tacon. Something is not right with your setup. Not sure. Let's hear exactly what you're running. Radio batteries etc...

                                Is your throttle set to reverse?
