well after a good week at work and plenty of overtime at the factory (15hours) i sat down last night to look through my general boat shops had a few (probably too many) red wines and saw this from R2 hobbies

http://www.r2hobbies.com/eng/proddetail.php?prod=rcbt0401004

and red wine being the major factor i thought why not as i was a member of their shop i got 10% off the ticket price and i have lots of controllers and spare batteries and now have a spare 540L 5070 KV fieago motor plus 4 lipo batteries also purchased last night from hobby king 7.4V 30Cdischarge 5000mah

I cant wait 

but the downside of it was when i told the wife this morning what i had done she promptly told me to get rid of at least 3 boats before the new one arrives so i think my club is going to be happy with me the little dictator has been passed on to another member, my graupner jet sprint hull is looking for a new home and so is my slomoshun.      bloody wife

i just cant waitt for it to all arrive and put it on the lake and show some people what a fast boat really is, hmm i might take it down to the gas boat boys and give them a run for their money

Ah So. They joined with metal clumps. I'd better reave it at that or the PC porice will be on my tlail.

These things will fly with the right setup,id suggest 3-4 s lipos with the right motor and esc,Your esc will handle that not sure about your motor lol ,the jae21 riggers are doing 84 mph with 4 s setups.

you read my mind mart a leopard 2200kv motor 4074 with cooling is already on it's way to my door for a very nice 4S set, just need to find the right prop to go with it

[martno1fan]

Im sure you will find the right prop or props if you checkout the OSE forum  .
