this boat is new, and no one I know of has a RTR with twins
so I would keep it all stock for now, because it could be just fine

and the 4s will have much lower runtimes than the 5000's and will have heaps more heat [:-]

what about the esc i have heard that it quits after like a run, but then ive read to cut it open and glue the water cooling tubes on so water doesnt leak in it.
