Another down side of the boat is the water pickup which is the integral part of the drive strut and it is way too small and you can't enlarge it. You will have to either cut asemi-circle brass tube to cover it or fabricate another water pickup, which I did by attaching the brass tube behind the rudder blade.

I am surprise to hear that the Fiegao 580 with 2x5S can push the 55" Darter King that fast because I am thinking of putting the Little Screamers 63mm Outrunner Motor ( http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...ls-63outrunner ) in place of my modified 30cc Homelite in the 48" Aeromarine Offshore.

At first, I had been running 3000KV+ motor but now I am going with 1750 - 2000KV with more cells to be easy on my ESC.

BTW, the stock motor that comes with the boat is 540 but not the 540L. It has a built-in water jacket that makes it looks long.
