      going to try it jack... got 2 weeks left of school then its a solid week of MG running. I'll start with the x642.. check the temps then throw on the m445. I bought a really neat laser temp gun that works suprisingly really well... its quite sweet.. I can't complain: http://cgi.ebay.com/Infrared-IR-Digi...item2eb131fc7b

      I was going to run 5s but I think that my setup should keep me somewhere around 45 and thats what I want... I like on a decent size lake so anything faster will get the boat in trouble but I need something that'll give me speed to pace/outrun speedboats.

        that is what i've been running on my MG and it's my favorite prop at the moment. I liked the 642 when i had it, mad a poor decision on were to run it though and it ended up garbage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ufEkudcKA I think the stock motor needs more prop then that though, but also a higher amperage esc.

            I really like the way mine runs with a 48mm carbon prop so I have to order an x448. But for all around running with the Castle outrunner, the 45 is the ticket. x442 or 42x55 will yield 10 minutes of run time with 4s, 2p. I love having all these options with this boat and the 3424. It's a work horse!!

              i like the 42x55 .. maybe need more rpm .. waiting for my ARC 36mm to see if it gonna hit the magic 50mph ... i need a stable 50mph boat and everything runs cool on 4s.

                finally hit 53.4mph on 4s 2p nano 4000 packs on a tenshock 1900kv and H5 prop. testing was done using a ice hyda 240. very fast and stable.

                    Hello all, Is $310 for a new MG (latest shaft version) a better than average price? I asked my LHS if he would move on the price from $339. He said yes! There is probably a better place to post this question. Excellent FE boat fourm by the way.... Thanks for your input and double thanks for sharing your knowledge and experiences!
