Today I finally got my miss g in the water for her maiden voyage vs my buddies spartan... WOW what a great match up... he was running a stock spartan on 6s I on the other hand had I highly modified miss g with hobbywing 150a esc 4074 leopard 2200 kv motor offset rudder and octura x642... I also added some great stuff window and door foam non bowing worked great and reinforced the canopy with some fiberglass. I also set my batteries at 9in from transom. Wow was I impressed... I set the drive dog gap about 1/8th inch left everything else stock the way it came so there is still room for improvement but absolutely no wah wah so thank you everyone for all your suggestions cause they worked great!!!! I also forgot to use hatch tape but had all most 0 water in it till the end when I lost my antenna tube so I had at most a teaspoon.. I was very impressed at how well sealed it was.... it was a very close race... out of the hole the spartan had me badly untill I plane up at about 5-6mph then she was gone... over all my mg was maybe about 1mph faster after I was on plane but he was also struggling with death wobble half the day so in the videos it was actually closer than it looks great match up!!! When I get my 2 3s lipos this weekend ill try it on 5s then 6s. We both used 5000mah 40c batteries. Ill try to post videos as soon as I can figure it out but over all very impressed considering I made no adjustment once she hit the water very very happy!!! My next run ill also try a prather s220. oh and the best part about my run today had to be the low temps even with the 40mm water jacket was only 72* and the esc was 69*

only 72* on the motor and 69* on the esc i have a prather s220 would that be a better prop than the x642? im guessing im between 43mph and 46mph right now cause the spartan hits between 43mph and 47mph well 47 once but mid 40's all day on the gpsmiss gieco cc 1518 62.1mph [/COLOR][/B] Delta Force 33" cc 1717Comment

That motor can take more prop then a x642 liked mentioned. A m445 and that prather you have would work great but running 5s & 6s on that 2200kv motor unless your running SAW its just not the best choice! That would be a very VERY hot setup and I wouldn't recommend it especially being new to the hobby. JMHOComment

What does SAW stand for? Your the second person to say that to me. I've been around rc for many many years mostly gas but this is my first real boatmiss gieco cc 1518 62.1mph [/COLOR][/B] Delta Force 33" cc 1717Comment

I gotcha.... I don't think I'm gonna push the envelope with 6s but 5s would 642 be ok or do I have to prop down?miss gieco cc 1518 62.1mph [/COLOR][/B] Delta Force 33" cc 1717Comment

I know the new AQ cat with a Grim 42x55 on stock motor sees 47-50mph on 4s
so stock AQ 4s vs stock spartan on 6s, the Aquacraft could run away from the spartan.NAMBA20...Caterpillar UL-1, P-Spec OM29, P-Mono DF33, P-Spec JAE, Aussie 33" Hydro-LSH, Sprintcat CC2028 on 8s, PT SS45 Q Hydro, PS295 UL-1 power, OSE Brothers Outlaw QMono 4-sale, Rio 51z CC2028 on 8sComment

Also would you suggest a lower kv motor then to run more cells? I have the 2 3s lipos on the way so I nees to find a use for them weather I change motors or prop down either way there has to be away to use them safelymiss gieco cc 1518 62.1mph [/COLOR][/B] Delta Force 33" cc 1717Comment
