    Average Speed

    What spped should I be hitting with the Fuller Set-up and 40c 5000 lipos. Right now in a small pond bascially a constant big turn I'm in the 30s. Strut pretty much flat and even with the boat bottom.

    Thanks

    I'm running a speedmaster set w/the same batterys and and most of my runs have been between 37 - 38 I have hit 39.7 and I'm still trying to get back up their.
    I want aleast 40 mph so with the right adj and water conditions I should hit it.
    I don't know how these guys are hitting high 40s to 50 mph using 4s batteys 2s x 2.

      What are your run times with the 2S lipo's? these are what I plan on using. Is there a limit to the size of the motor to put in when using two 2s 5000mah Lipo's, Ive been reading alot and more confused than ever. Im guessing bigger isnt always better, something about rpm's ? is there a slightly bigger than stock motor I should look for?

        not sure the specs on the motor, never really heard any one talk about the widow maker to much around here. There all cats and hydros

            Yesterday with calm water I was averaging 40+ with the fuller hardware and 5000 and 4000 lipos. This with the Garmin e-trex h on-board. Could not believe how solid it felt. Turns smooth and pretty much at full throttle.
