    Forgot to add, check the battery tray, could use a little more epoxy or jb weld. Mine broke loose when I was stuffing foam in the bow.

    Nice boat! I have a question about the stinger. It looks fixed (non adjustable). Is there no need to move it and are any adjustments made by the trim tabs and/or moving the COG?

    Ran my Sniper today, stock set up, with full Eagle Tree set up. My RPM was off since I did not know how many poles this small ourtrunner has? (you need to enter the value since I am using the brushless motor sensor).

    Second question, what motor, brushless outrunner, I assume due to the nice water cooled mount, would you recommend as an upgrade. I already have a bunch of spae Seaking waterproof ESC's that go all the way to 180 AMps?

    Customer of mine changed his boat a little from stock as the video shows.

    I personally think keeping the rpm/kv to under 30,000 is probably the best route to take. IE upgrading the motor to higher KV. Rather than throwing a 4s in there. JMO. It might be worth just seeing what a 4S will; but for running with a little more speed, a higher KV motor for sure.

    Be warned, that TT boat may smoke the motor & ESC first run.

    Don't see how they expected a 37mm outrunner to power a 40" boat????

    Nice looking boat though, lots of upgrade possible.

    No worries Ray
    the first thing I'm doing is pulling the motor and esc (selling them)
    and putting in a .... motor and .... esc and run on 6s

    but post me an outrunner you think would make this hull fly

    Its a good motor for a 25"-29" hull but, not 40", Jeese!


    A Turnigy HK 4030 1400KV will get it moving well but, I am going to use a Leopard 5692 1092 KV in my 40" mono build. Just have to start it....

    I am going to try the Turnigy 880Kv motor or the 1100Kv one on 7S2P also, to see how they work.

    They are very nice motors for the money.
