Guys... I have tested this boat with a variety of power systems... 3S fits without too much issue, and a nice 3000KV BL 4-Pole Motor and equivalent ESC on 3S REALLY goes!! I placed the 3S 5400 mAh pack sideways towards the rear of the boat and the balance seemed to be good. The same power system on 2S is also respectable, so this system will give you some options.
Please keep in mind that this is intended to be an "entry level" boat, so it's not going to hold up to crash after flip after roll-over without possibly damaging the plastic.
However, mine did seem to handle the speed pretty well... surprisingly well, in fact. For having such a simple setup and hardware, it performs quite nicely with some injection of some real power...
