I actually changed mine from an 8 to a 9 and havent run it yet. I can bump safetly to 5S and pick up a few mph and just a couple more amps. Lower KV may be a hotter motor, but it will load your amps up more. 5S to the 8Xl overlimits (according to Fecalc) a 150 etti, which is what Im running. So Im not saying your limited to 4S and mid 40s... I know a member on here threw 6S on his 8XL HOTR and broke 63... but for how long can you do that and keep a reliable boat?
After I try my 9XL on 4 and 5S, Im going to throw a 10 XL at it on 6S and should pick up even more mph at just a bit more amp draw.
At the end, it will be a 9XL boat, still in the 40s on 4S, very dependable and a heck of a lot of fun to drive....Comment

X442, S, B and DT. Now remember, we arent comparing apples to apples here. This is on a slightly diff 32" cat. No flat ride pads, sponsons come down to a tru point and the boat to start w/ is a bit heavier lay up than the Skunk. then I added some weight to it by adding CF and repairing an explosion situation I had. So its built like a tank now. So the Skunk may be closer to 50. I dunno. But I do know that a lot of guys running the HOTR hull can swing a 642 on an 8XL... mine slows down 4 mph from a 442 to a 642. So who knows what the Skunky will run? But even at 45, She'll be a blast to run.Comment
