Miss Geico Set up???

[jay317]

Hi to all
I just received my Miss Geico boat and my set is:
Running on 5s
Stock motor
Seaking 120 esc

My question is what prop would you guys recommend and if anything else that I'm missing please let me know
also what mph would this set up bring? ??
Thanks

With the stock motor I think I would go with a X642,X445.I'm not sure of the other props on stock motor as I have switched to a CC1515.Put the hull on a table and set the strut level and flat on the table as the ride pads are.You should be 45-50 mph then.

On 5s with stock equipment and those prop it will run in the mod to high forties but expect a failure. The stock stuff just can't handle that kind of amp pull. Jmo

would I be ok using a 120a escwhich isn't stock???

For 5s, x642 and x445 are too much prop for stock motor, i'd start with an x440.........it may be "the one". The T120 is great for that setup!

Thanks for the replies guys but I have one more rookie question:
If I'm running 5s would 2s and 3s batteries weigh the same and if not would that make the boat off balance since the batteries will be on opposite sides???

Oops,sorry,I forgot about the 5s part.The X642 will pull too much then.
I had only tried 5s a couple of times on stock.Didn't blow anything but I didn't run it too hard either.I put the 3s battery on the left when looking at the rear of the boat.A little extra weight on that side helps with torque from the motor.

My thoughts too..........

I run 5s on the stock motor and esc with a castle BEC and motors not even hot after a 6 minute run its a great fast and efficient setup.
