Now I'm not sure... If I get a 1515 I have more room for lipos, if I get a 4082 then less lipo room...

A 1515 is a pretty powerful motor. I prefer it much more over a leopard. That's just my opinion.

Leopard motors are clones of the Castle motors basically. 4 poles and all. In this case the larger Leopard motor puts out more power/watts.

Is an extra 8mm of motor length gonna cramp lipos in a 35" hull??

A couple of these in parallel would move that boat out well, they would give you 10,000 mah and 400 continuous amps!

I would like to run it on 2 4s SPC 6500 lipos (already have 1). I don't think this hull 35" but that doesn't matter too much.
How about these trim tabs?

I wouldn't get blue, I like the silver...

I don't have the boat yet so it may be a complete "turd" but who knows... Lol any one interested in stock Tronics?

Those tabs are kinda overkill length-wise and price-wise, If it were mine I'd throw these on: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...d=ros-spdt-150

I looked at those but the ones in the link I posted grab my attention. We will see I guess! lol
I don't know how much transom room I have either (yet).

Just wondering if you got the boat yet...? I think, when you do, your plans may change a bit unless you want to gut the hull and do at least one layer of carbon fiber. That hull is paper thin, man. I mean if you try to pick it up by the bow, the clearcoat & paint will crack from the hull flexing under the weight of the stock electronics. Be very mindful of this if you want the clearcoat/finish to continue looking nice, and void of spiderweb cracks. Also, check out how the transom curves at the top. The Venom strut and rudder on that boat is machined to follow that concave curve. Going to create an extra step of machining the rudder mount to follow the contour of the transom if you change up the hardware back there. Because I'm afraid of overpowering this hull, I'm only putting an Aquacraft 3656 2030kv in mine after the cf inlay is finished. I'm mounting battery trays on the floor for a pair of 2s LiPo's in series, just to save weight. I put a 4500mAh 3s hard-case LiPo in it and that seemed like a lot of weight for the hull. Member tlandauer has one of these also and has done a carbon inlay in his. He can offer advice. He kept the stock outrunner motor and runs on a pair of 2s LiPo's even after the cf inlay... I'm running an X640 prop, same as tlandauer.

I did get the boat, it's way too thin! I'm even debating if I want to put it in the water... Travis will be dropping an inlay (maybe 2) on this one. Hopefully the rudder I send him he can work on the bracket to fit the transom. I'm kind of think I will have a low powered setup on 3s 6500mah... I'm scared that I will break it! I put one of my SPC 2s 8200mah packs and that's a bit much on size.. But yep, pretty much a complete rebuild.. Sold most of the spare parts already.
