Does look great... it's almost as fast as mine is with the stock motor...

Lazy man's way to go fast.

I know, replaced a stock motor, but for some reason, the stock motor, with both the stock and 42x55 props, would not spool up very fast at all. All esc settings set identical to yours, but still no performance. Curious if the hyper performance flex made any difference. Had to readjust for the extra length, but now runs great with different motor. Any ideas?

Actually, the 42x55 with some tweaking will be very close. It needs to have some pitch added to it to be where it will really shine, but also have some load taken off the prop. If you back-cut it a bit... start at .030" or so, and start pitching it up a little at a time, I think you'll get better.

Remember, this boat is a bit heavier, being a RTR production boat, and not a purpose built race boat, so it's not going to work the same as a lighter VS-1 or Cobra or ???...

Just got a pair of stilletto O/B's for a 31-inch proboat cat.(see avatar) Bought the outboards without motors because of limited funds. Looking to get the ul-1 motor or sv-27r motor to put in em. Gonna run a single 5000mah 4s 30c pack per O/B. Do you guys think the 2030kv's will run cool enough or should I get the 1800kv's. I would just buy the stilletto motors but they are 100-bucks a piece, so I'm looking to save a few bucks with the AQ motors.

UL-1 all the way!
They will share the load and do very well with your build..

SV motors were 34 bucks at Tower last week. (the blue ones)

I was considering those too. I thought I read somewhere that they were actually less than 1800kv. Plus I had issues with the endbell coming loose on my old sv, so I decided against them. Thanks for the info on the sale though!!

Darin, thanks for the prop suggestions. I need to learn more about prop mods. Any credible resources to learn about prop modifications? Not a whole lot of resources where I live.

Also, thanks Diegoboy for fixing the links to the vids.

Should bolt right on. You'll need to make sure you install the coupler at exactly the same distance from the endbell. Otherwise, it should be a bolt-on...
