Default RE: Advice on speed controllers & batteries

Hi,

Is the boat 49"? Those motors likely won't get the boat up on plane. You'll need way more power and good batteries. Take a look at Rumrunnerracing.com - the forums have a lot of info on figuring out what you'll need for voltage, etc., then you can figure out what combo of motors, esc's, batteries, etc. will get you there. I use it a lot and haven't been steered wrong yet. Thanks and have fun. For me, building these things is half the fun - running them with my kids and racing them is the other half. JH
