    everything varies with the hardware you use, motor mount and a few other things depending on how you setup your boat. The best bet is to dry fit everything to the hull put the flex cable through the stuffing box and see how long you are from fitting in the prop strut. Cut it about an inch longer then what you need, and try it again making shorter and shorter cuts untill you get it how you want it. Remember you cant stretch wire so its always better to cut it a little long instead of coming up short. The less cuts you can make the better off you are. it took me a half a dozen times i was scared id cut it to short now my cable looks funny compared to the guys that can do it with there eyes closed! good luck!

            Its a night and day difference. you will NEVER regret getting them as long as you read up on the charging and balancing and storage safety. They are very dangerous if you mis use them. All the lipos ive owned ive only had problems with one pack. Ask the other guys, READ READ READ and follow the directions included with your charger and lipos and you will have NO problems what so ever. Only Pure Joy and FAST BOATS!!!!!!!!
