5692 730kv is good for 8s to 10s for sport running and having some good fun speeds,
And run times.
Or may be something else will work good to and be a little cheaper.
I need to do some digging on this one for more info.
Ttyl.
I think offshore's 56mm $18 motor mount will fit perfect in the 58in atomik cat!
Hears some info for you,
It is all the same hull and just new paint and FE ready now.

I have a converted KOS to FE. Im using the 5698 910kv, CC 200HV on 8s spinning a X452. Mid to high 50s. Much much faster than the stock ARC.
you can buy the boat also with out batts., motor and esc. Cheep under 600.00 I think I my get one and try a duel motor setup. That would do a boat this size some justice.
twissted from speed. Lead, fallow or get out of the way. Copy cats in back of the buss!!!
I am trying to decide on a motor myself. I am running a 6s setup. I am running two 3s in series. I made a harness so I can try 4 batteries. I hope to try that out this Sunday. I would like to find a motor using the 3s batteries. I don't want to invest in more batteries. Any suggestions? Thanks
just got my ARC 58, is amazing.
Any tips for me? I just put some positive angle to the strut and cavitates alot.
38mph with the GPS
Thanks
Chris
What prop is on it ?
You should set the strut level with the sponsons bottom,
It can be done by putting the boat hull on a long flat table.
Than loosen the strut and have it touch the table and keep it level and than tighten it.
Now adjust your CG by moving the lipo packs forward or backward some.
Post some video's of it.
Lenny, is the stock prop.
I started with that table level, and everything ok, but then wanted more speed and put +2mm in the strut and batteries backwards and I have the problem. I'll put it as the beginning and move the battery to the center and try if I can reach 40mph.
Then I'll put a 1400 T600 and see what happens.
This weekend im going to take some videos but is a very fun boat to run, also I have a Magnum 57, Arrow Shark Flying Dragon and a Hypersport 48 with clutch and water pump(all noisy).
If your temps are good try propping up a little and run 1 minute and check temps,
And speeds.
If all good do it again longer.
The smallest prop that I have to fit this prop shaft is my 70MM/16 3-Blade from Warehousehobbies , all my other props are 40 - 45mm, for my other FE (Revolt, Blackjack 29 and Spartan) and the other 2 blades for gas that I have from 70mm to 80mm.

Im going to try it for 1 min to see what happens, Im going to change everything to 3/16 next month
How big is the stock one ?
I would try the 45mm first,
70mm is a lot of prop so be very careful you do not smoke the setup with it.
The stock one is 3 blade 53mm http://www.atomik-rc.com/Propeller-5...ectric-C1.html
The 45mm is not very small??
I think I need to put more negative angle to the strut http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ffcq3VfA3nQ
is there a drop in motor mount for this hull? lepard 5698
Hi,
Post some pictures of your boat with the 5698 motor and jacket on it in the hull.
Did your boat come with the stock motor mount in it ?
Here are some pictures using the stock mount. It works great. No problems with a few runs.

I have a 57mm on the boat. I am hoping to try it this Friday. I used the stock side mounts, made a new front mount from aluminum.
