    I've got the MHZ 138 and it is "awesome", has an extra inlay. I have a few 100+mph crashes and most times it comes out fine but twice I have had damage, 1st time the hatch was dented in pretty badly and alot of the gelcoat came off but the hatch was not reinforced and I had forgotten to brace with foam inside, the foam if packed tightly works wonders in crashes and is a must if are pushing high numbers. Second incident part of the underside along outter edge came off, a strip about 6-8" long, it was a pretty easy fix and alot of sanding but came out fine.

    Also, when you ask if these hulls are awesome, do you mean overall performance or quality? I can say MHZ are pretty magnificent hulls in both respects...just do the extra layup for insurance sake.

    I too have the C-AFK, you should be fine without a layup but again, just extra insurance. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

    Silly question but can you run the RX airial on the inside with this hull or you have to run the airial on the outside ?

    TBH I have only run it outside, my GPS does function inside the hull which is great remembering my hatch does not have an extra layup. Thing is, even if your Rx antenna works inside the hull I wouldn't do it because it's such a high speed hull and will be outta sight in a hurry, you'll want all the range you can get! I'm running a top of the line Futaba system and even it has gone out of range a couple of times on top speed passes!

    That looks like it will work just great.

    So the hull you ordered, an 1140 correct?

    Yes sir.
    It works a treat , you just have to disconnect the battery when not in use, or the wifi booster will draw even when not in use and wreck your lipo , take a guess how i found that out

    I was originally going to get a white one and paint it and the guy there said there is a air brushed one here ready to go for a little extra, so being that it's a limited amount getting done like this, i said why not.
    Shipped out the next day

    yes thats new to me aswell, wonder why you would want to disable the receiver with another electronic unit when you can just unplug the power via the normal lipo plug . better to keep things simple for less worry of failures.

    Exactly, it's a magnet which cuts the circuit very basic but i don't understand why you would use it.

    The only time you would use a receiver on/off switch would be when you have set up a separate battery pack to power the receiver and servos. to do this you must unplug the Red wire from esc to rx then plug in your rx switch harness to the receiver and battery pack. this set up can be a safer way to make sure you always have power to your onboard radio if something goes bad in the esc / bec. LiFe 6.6 volt packs are great for this set up, also a J.R. gold plated teminal rx switch are very reliable.

    The next question is what prop to use on a 44in Mystic 2x TP power 4070 1750kv 2x XLX's for (maximum) speed ?
    2 blade or 3 blade pro's and con's.
    Prop guys please chime in .
