This has the new outrunner motor. I'm running both, 1 and 2 pack configurations. I have 2 5000mAh 7.4 volt packs at 20C. I also just picked up a 4 cell 14.8 volt 4200 mAh 45C pack. That's where I got the 42. But now after 5 or 6 charges, I'm down to about 39.7 mph. Must have been just the new pack?? Either way it costs about the same. The single pack at 45C is a nicer battery.

It's easy to loose or gain 3mph depending on water current. You may have had a nice current when you hit 39.7 a didn't realize it. I've hit 47mph in my SV before, but it averaged 44mph with ul-1 power. It's in the low 50s now with a 7xl, also if your lipos are a little warm prior to your run you can gain some extra mph's that way as well, that's why some racers pre-heat the packs...

Someone asked you about being able to fit the prop you changed to. What tubing is needed. I'm a newb, I want to get that boat but I am clueless with what props are right for boat. What type and size of tubing to I ask for?

If you use a 3/16 prop, then the 3/16 brass tubing will work as the adapter. I do believe it .14 or .15 in thickness.
I also used a small price of aluminum as a shim for the rudder strut. It raised it up about a 1/8-1/4 of an inch. I can now use the octura x640, and angle the stut all the way up without hitting. Before my adapter piece, I could only have it a 0 degrees.

I really really like this boat. The setup is sweet.
Hope this helps.
I have a thread titled rudder placement question with a pic there. I extended as well as lifting it, the extension was BAD!! Lost 9 mph with it extended. Just need to lift it.

READ ME, stock is 4mm so you need to go to 3/16. Read the first part.
