I'm planning on getting a 1/8 scale Hydro from RC Boat Company around February hopefully. So I've been doing research on needed parts and where to get them. I'm at the point where I need to start asking questions.

1. I know it's dependent on motor and battery size but how fast can I expect the hydro to go?

2. I'd like to run 8 to 10s ( pair of 4s or 5s batteries) What size motor should I be running ?

3. What works better with the 1/8 scale Hydro's a 2 blade prop or 3 blade.

I don't have any sanctioning bodies in my area so I'll just be running on local ponds and small lakes. I'd like to be able to get the boat into the low 80's if possible.

I know nub questions but I have to start somewhere . Thanks for any responses.
