      They are both the same size so so there should be no difference in power. Personally I'm usually concerned about bullets accidentally touching and go with ec5's. it's just a preference thing I guess.

          That Crome paint is sick!!! I'm in the process of repairing my MG so I'm still deciding what color to paint her. Thinking Pepsi blue but I'm not sure how that will affect visibility of the boat in the water? Would look nice tho

          I know this thread is old but I've been searching thread after thread of what folks have done for set up when running her at high speeds 60-70 range? Mine like to take flight once I get her up to speed. I've put strut down batts forward but she still wants to flip.

            Just a good photo to share...I found this tee on ebay a couple of months ago. Yes, I'll be a geek wearing it while running my boat. :)

              Just a few questions.

              1. What is the best foam to add to the hull to stay buoyant.

              2. If possible what is the best way to make all electronics completely water proof.

              3. Is polishing your prop a no no.

              Regards
              Rasp

              3.

                Just a quick question, Would it be safe for me to run 6s on the stock esc in my Geico? (Im already running a CastlE external BEC) Ive ran 5s for 2 years now and just want to know if I can run 6s without damaging my esc?

                  Doubtful, mine didn't last very long on 5S.

                      Mine handles pretty good. I replaced the stock strut with a skegged strut. Stopped the slides in the turns
