Looking to build a brushless hydro, any suggestions?

[Pedro Ramos]

I always like Hydros, back in da day I used to own a Stryker Hydro with a Quickdraw engine. Well these days all I got is brushless, Aeromarine 36 Avenger cat and 48 Pro challenger Mono. All my lipos are 4s, 5s and 6s.
Im planning to use the same setups, I don't want to buy any other size of lipos.
I was thinking about the Aeromarine Chaos, how fast I want it? Well, fast as heck!!!
Im thinking 300a esc so i ran run 8s, 10s etc, any suggestions?

How about Fiber Hulls?

Is there a reason why you wouldn't want a wood hull? The designs from ML Hydros have been proven to be fast, reliable, predictable and stable and they come in an assortment of sizes. Mike is also very responsive and can make recommendations based on what you'd like to achieve. I have also personally seen them first-hand sustain crashes at incredible speeds (in excess of 80 mph) without damage. This also includes the small ones such as the GP265 that I own. I have flipped that boat at speeds over 80 mph countless times and still no damage except for a bent rudder in one case which has nothing to do with the model itself.

thank you for the reply. Im not a builder, Im going to have my builder set it up for me. But I need to decided what size I need, I prefer FG and skip the building process. I want something like a striker hydro, more or less that big, but I don't know which hull its been proven so I can get one.

First thing is Decide on what size you want:)
Hard for anyone to make any recommendations without knowing the basics.

As already mentioned twice in this thread, Phil Thomas makes some great hulls. They will take alot of prep and bodywork before they can be hit with primer and paint, but well worth it from what ive heard. Im currently building from his T5.

Ive always really liked his Supersport 45 and Stealth.
