Shadow- if you will just browse through this forum, there are many many conversations about the different hardware, props, motors etc. that people have tried. There are several different schools of thought on which is best. General concensus of opinions says that the fullers cat hardware with an octura x642 prop is the favorite. You also didnt mention what batts you have. If you dont have lipo, get those first, thats one of the biggest things you can do to get started. But look through all these threads on here and make your own opinions.

around $150 to 250

With that amount, I would get some lipos.
If you already run them, get fuller cat hardware, and a prop. You don't realy have enough for a "build" into the 60s, and thats not enough for a twin build!! I think you would be suprised how fast it can go with the stock motor/esc, harware/prop, and some tuning. Look around on here. Try doing a search. You will get all the info you need to make it faster within your budget.

Spot, youre right bro. My bj went 43 on bone stock everything with 4s. I played with the setup a lot (balance, hull scuffing, esc prog, etc.) and was very impressed to be an rtr. Since then i added a 642, and got even a few more mph out of it. Very impressive. Now that the season is over, im gonna change out the drive-line, but not for speed reasons, just want to turn the damn thing!! Anyway, my point is, the stock stuff tweaked a little here and there really will get the boat pretty dang close to its physical speed limitations.

I agree with the above. Lipos, a prop and some tweaking should get you more speed and a good place to start. If you are new to FE then try those first to get a good feel for driving as the speed increases will really test your skills.

I was able to run 53 mph with an ammo 2300 on 4s with upgraded hardware and a modified 642 prop. The same setup gave me just under 52 with 12 nimh batteries. you can always run bigger motors but you will need to upgrade the hardware to handle the extra power. I think I was getting 45 mph on 12 cells with the stock motor. The biggest thing is to play with the setup. I ran my hull very loose and alot of people won't run like that. The reason why is it becomes very easy to blowover.

Here is a pic of the boat running about 50 mph.

iam just in the process of swapping out my stock ESC and Motor
i have the AMMO 2300 and an Etti 150 esc but iam wanting to know what is the pole count for the AMMO 2300 and what lipo's do you think will do this set up justice ? also have the fullers fitted with a x642 and your 4 cell run in parallel ?

re blackjack brushless

the stock motor in the blackjack brushless is a great motor. ive been running mine on 6s lipo and the motor isnt even getting very warm.

the only issue ive had is with the stock esc having to be reprogrammed with my programming card every 3-4 runs.

using an octura x642 prop and the thing is very fast. i just need to upgrade my hardware from the stock plastic to the fullers aluminum setup and ill be set.

Wow! 6s on stock esc, I might have to try that..

[ApacheDude]

Thrasmetal, what kind of batteries are you using specifically? I am wanting to go bigger than 2S when I jump into Lipos...
