Not the greatest quality video but you can see my JAE run.

Going quite well. maybe move the batteries up abit closer towards motor also you could even try ABC 1815-17 or 1817-17 props. guys have had more speed from these props.
Here is another run on packs that are well used. The guys I run boats with are trying to get me to enter a race and set out some buoys to get used to..

You are correct. As long as you have the same prop speed (load) by using a proportionally lower Kv you will only draw 2/3 the amps on 6 cell so you only need 2/3 the capacity (mah) for the same run time. In this example as long as you have 22.2v and 4000 mah you can use any battery combination. If you have a 4 cell set up pulling 90 amps you are making 1332 watts. (14.8 x 90 = 1332) For 1332 watts on 6 cell (1332 div by 22.2v) = 60a. If you run 2 - 6P in parallel each battery, connector, wire only draws 30a. You don't need high dollar 100c packs for 30a draw.
Of course if you run a class that limits battery to 4 cell then you are stuck with high amp draw.
Welcome. Races look like a blast and will probably research classes / enter next race they attend. The guys I drive with all have different boat types, so we just run for fun, and would have to race at another club. Driving in traffic and those "rolling" starts are what I would really need to practice. Anyways good luck with your build and post some pics..
As long as it’s having fun, all that matters.Rolling starts are nice.I’ll put a thread together on mine. Thank you.

If you havn,t raced r/c boats you don,t know what your missing. playing around with a boat on your own is quite boring but once you get the racing bug you will love it plus you strive to get more and more speed from your hull so you can beat your mates. In our club we race 5 boats per heat and its awesome fun, especially with the quick hulls. so find a club or whatever and race.
Keep in mind guys that if you ever decide to race....a 34" JAE rigger was designed for 4s. On 6s you'll be racing guys in the 40" range that are running 6s and pulling 200 amps. You won't be racing guys at the watts equivelant to a 4s boat. Those bigger boats cut giant holed in the pond.

Just watched Ty run a Q mono in open mono at the CanAm. Went exactly like you would expect.

I started out in this hobby when I was around 10 years old racing off-road cars and wouldn't mind catching the racing sickness again. Is there a "cheat sheet" on the racing classes that mention basic info like what T.S. Davis mentioned to quick reference? I've flipped through the long rule books and can be confusing. Probably obvious to racers, but my JAE would be in "P" rigger: racing 4 cell riggers up to 60"? What would be motor length/size limits, battery capacity limits (if any)? Nice to have a sheet that shows most popular classes: Class, hull type/length, battery volts limits / configurations allowed, Motor size/length.
Not sure there is. Maybe I'll make one. That would be handy for a new guy. Sort of a "here's what to expect" or maybe "here's what works.......ish" kind of thing.

Normally if your going to race the 4s class there are 2 x classes such as limited and unlimited which means the limited class will be motor kv and possibly esc size limited and the unlimited class will be as it says [ Unlimited ] in motor and esc sizes but you still must stay with 4s battery size. The JAE-33 is a perfect 4s unlimited class rigger for both classes.
This is the 2 pages I always look at.

I think to look to see what classes are being run, I’d look at racemaster or club finishing in your area to get a good idea.

Hope this helps you.

There is a difference between organizations too. IMPBA vs NAMBA. Minor but they exist.
If you're even remotely interested in maybe possibly racing sometime in the future, find out what the local yocals are running. Most of the time those guys will tell you exactly what their setups are. Right down to the danged prop. Racers are a weird group. Most dig it when they're challenged. Especially if it's by a newer guy. Blowing a guy doors off is a drag. Unless you know them really well. Then do it for sure. haha
Chances are high that if you find guys that race....... you'll want to also. It's a great group of humans overall. The intensity that you would think racers would have is watered down by their desire to just have a good time and a few laughs. It aint F1 i what I'm say'n.

FYI: I was convinced, going to try P-Limited Mono this November at OCD race.

nice hull.
Man, I was supposed to debut new car at a show, it’s not gonna hit deadline. I’m thinking I may drop in for p-limited mono. We got our p riggers out sunday. Ken haines is good. My friend Eric is good. Mine, I neglected rudder set up and flipped and dunked it. Fired it up today, it’s good. Need the magical unobtainium h7 everyone talks about. Another friend Albert, bought the second rigger from me. You wanna come test Sunday in Melbourne, we’ll be there. P limited mono and cat,p mono, p hydro, q hydro, maybe my t mono...I’m scared of hooking it up...lol... 10s 10,000mah is just scary.
