    But seriously, this Leopard 1400kv on 6s would be almost uncontrollable: http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...o-4074&cat=148

    I'd go with a 3674 if it were mine, the 1400kv and you could swing a 6 pitch prop with some decent diameter............plus it would probably go right into the stock mount being a 36mm http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...o-3674&cat=148

    They are real, and they are used in Big-A$$ airplanes mainly, here's a whole page of big outrunners http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s...idCategory=522

    its a good motor but unless you are spec racing go with the leopard. I have a 4074 2000 kv on 4s and am not sure why anyone would want to make the boat faster then that, pretty damn fast for a 29 inch boat.

    Ul1 motors are great, but not for 5 and 6s. To run that number of cells you need to be between 1500 and 1800kv

    keep in mind, jumping up 1s in your packs is a big difference on the motor. a motor that might be perfect for 5s will be too much for 6s.and it works the other way. if i were planning on running two seperate cell counts in the same boat, in your case (5 and 6s) you would be better off getting a motor that will handle 6s well. sure, 5 s wont be a rocket, but you can switch props around to gain more speed. better than having a rocket on 5s and blowing up your motor on 6s… get it?
