HA3618 in a HYDRO
I recently purchased a Hi-Max HA3618 rated at 4500kv. I wanted to put it in a Blu-By-U ABS 28" cat. Did I goof and get a too high of KV rating for this boat, or no? I was going to use a Baracuda 80 with two 4200mah six packs wired for 14.4 volts. Any imput would be great.

True.
Have you tried to calculate the RPMs? As I got to know 50 000rpm is more than ok..
4500kv * 14.4 = 64800rpm! in water it will be about 20% less but still quite alot.
so there is a question what prop will "fit", will engine and his bearrings will do and will esc handle the currents?
