The 5000 which I wanted wer eon back order, so I didn't think the 6,000 would be much bigger. I'm working with hobbyking to return for probably the Nanotech which they do have right now. I only looked at the batteries I have once from inside the pouch and knew they were too big. I am also hearing of getting run times of just two to 6 minutes. Seems blah for so much battery juice.

I've read about the XT90's being too weak for the amps and Just being a 90 amp ESC. No problem though....I'll get a couple of batteries and run it and if something burns up I'll get a better ESC and connectors. I can't wait to get it going, it looks great and pretty big in size. It is pretty impressive to look at. So far I have lubed up the flex shaft, checked every nut and everything is in place and solid. I also noticed a cooling line was kinked near the motor cooler inlet. I cut it down and worked out the kink. I'm thinking of puttling in some harder cooling line just for assurance it won't kink or suck closed. Very cheap improvement.

Never had a magnitude of boat like this before, so it will be a learning experience. So far I am liking it a lot.
