          a ul1 motor on 6s would let some magic smoke out. 46000+ rpm would reck something for sure.

                Very nice wp. You can do quite a bit of tweaking and get a bit more out of 4S. Stock motor Im at 44mph. Im running 4 minute LSO heats and its doing pretty well temperature wise. the motor wires are the only things really suffering. But Im really happy with it.

                  We posted at the same time. You defintiely have something wrong if your only turning 38 mph on an M445. Be sure youve calibrated your throttle on your 180. Deisel was having an issue w/ his Pursuit in it not running like everyone elses w/ the same set up. He found that even though he calibrated, it didnt calibrate correctly. He did it again and picked up quite a few mph. You may be able to get closer to the 60 mark?!?

                    Put the right prop on it, and you can do that with the stock motor...

                      On 4s it runs 40.4 mph with a 42/55 I never ran the M445 on 4s and only had a video of the X642 4s set up.

                          Here is my setup and tests. Where do I go from here?
                          Initial setup Stock MG out of the box 4000mah 25c (x2) batteries in the middle of the trays = 30.1 mph aggressive bounce.
                          Adjusted the stuffing tube to table top level, placed batteries forward of 9” COG line = 31.4 mph almost no bounce.
                          In all subsequent tests best speed and performance was with the batteries forward of the 9” line.
                          Prop selection and best speeds are as follows: (this is the order tested as well)
                          PB 1.6x2.5 composite Stock 30.1 mph
                          PB 1.6x2.5 composite sharpened and cleaned up 31.4 mph
                          PB 1.9x3.0 composite filed to 45mm dia & sharpened 39.1 mph
                          GR 42x55 balanced & sharpened 37.7 mph
                          Octura M445 balanced, sharpened & thinned 39.3 mph
                          How big a prop can the stock set up handle. I have an old X452 that I plan on modifying. Grinding down the dia & maybe de-tongue it somewhat or a lot.
                          Any help would be appreciated.

                            MG drive setting...

                            Hello everybody,
                            I also have an MG (initial setup stock) , and i have some questions about the settings...
                            when you say "Adjusted the stuffing tube to table top level" that's mean that you remove the prop and the rudder, then you put the boat on a flat table, the bottom of the drive is at the same level than the bottom of the sponsons ? ( green line is same as red line )
                            Isn't there any negative or positive angle of the drive ? I made a little sketch ...
                            ( sorry for my english i'm french )

                            Thanks for your help

                              Loosen the strut bolt and set the boat on a table with the rudder hanging off it. The strut will now sit level with the hull.
