Looks good to me,You might want set-up counter rotating props.
Probably will put the Venom KOS C1 to shame.

Looks like a great package!
those batteries will rock, as long as the motors can keep up
please post a video, I found a vender and I might try one of them
I do know that hull is awesome, many have done some amzing builds on the hull with some big power
I think there is a video on youtube with this HOR hull with 540 twins doing 70mph on 4s I think

KOS looks better IMO, but this is still a great looking boat. And it's the price that's won me over. I'm keen to see some video of this thing in stock form.

Yes, I was comparing appearances only. And I failed to notice this is not rtr so I'd have to consider the costs of the extras. I wish I wasnt so poor

well i see the hull of the Genesis its looks grate the shape of the hull have some nice lines but the materials are chip polyester and weights a lot
i intend to play around a little bit disassemble the hardware and do proper light hull from carbon fiber and epoxy resin i hope to remove half the original weight

Yeah this boat looks sweet!

I wonder what kind of cut off options the ESC has for the lipo batteries? I have found that with these newer high C batteries I need to set cutoff's more around 3.3-3.5 volts or else the boat will drain the pack almost empty......

Can't wait to see one of these on 3s...

Its really not the esc to watch for but the motor and how its proped...
You can blow the esc with 20c 5000mah packs
This boat will do just fine with 20c/30c 5000mah packs

40c will work the same as 60c...
Not worth the extra money for these 380s imo

it could but you need two of them, and running 4s on those high kv motors may not be a good thing

Look above..
running 4s is this boat on those high kv motors is not a good thing.. [:-]
these motors are better for 3s packs

hi i started assembling the boat and i want to do several changes
the boat is twin motor and there is no contra rotating props
two of them spinning in the same direction
i am interested to fix that issue
now the prop is 2 blade unknown maker from cooper with 435 stamp on it any ideas ?
how to choose 3 bladed prop fore the stock setup and if there is any need fore me as a beginner to do that ?
i have to change one of the flex shafts

about the battery's i see that using 4s on high kv motors now what is high kv is 2800 is high
can i use 4s but not squeeze all the juce from the battery's run on half throttle ?
