Stiletto Setup Feedback - Post Your Setups here, guys!
OK, guys... I'd like to get as much feedback as possible on the setups you guys are finding for your Stilettos that work.
Keep it simple, if you don't mind. List the power, bats, etc., but am very interested in hearing about the actual lower unit location, angles, prop, etc.
Go for it! Let's hear what you are running.

Pretty Stiletto Rear Drive Unit
Here's the official (or not) Mercury (or not) Stiletto PRo Boat Outdrive setup. Upgraded to a 2600KV motor, 5S - 6S, Seaking 180 ESC. I'm sure not legal to race. 20 hours on rear drive sanding paint and clear coat. Darins mod stuffing tube with rear oiler. From rear of drive you see 2 water outlets. The left one is actually the oiler, I use the Proboat grease gun to pressure grease down the rear into the stuffing tube. The right outlet and top outlet are both water outlets but only one is used depending on what motor i'm running. The top water outlet is best to see the water shooting out the top as the boat runs by so i like that one better if i can use it. The motor is too tall to house inside the top shroud but i like the look of the shroud so I cut a hole in the top to keep it on the boat.Attachment 63728Attachment 63729Attachment 63730Attachment 63731
Darin to keep this boat legal and to answer the above question about what motor would you use. If you were to race the boat what class whould it be under or sport or scale class? and do you have to use a factory motor like the UL1 or Proboat to race?
My 2600 is more to have fun and see how far i can push the boat, i'm guessing you would have to run a lower KV motor and stick with a 2 blade wouldn't you not?
Next update I'll show you the waterproof server mounted in front of the outboard to eliminate teh drive cables and finally possibly removing the radio box in front of the battery tray to reduce weight and increase the balance of the boat. Darin recomends the battery as far back as possible and the drive as low as possible to get the boat to track striaght around turns without flipping. Correct me if I'm wrong Darin.
