Gweed, I would not be afraid to buy an aquacraft boat. They always make quality merchandise.

ok so the ul-1 it is so what can i do to make it faster?

Li-Po's will definitely help performance. Plus an upgraded metal prop from Octura would make a huge difference as well. I am not sure what the size of the stock prop is but judging by the size of the boat I am sure the Octura X447 would be a good starting point. Again I am not sure of the stock size, so this is just a guess, please, if I am wrong do correct me.

whats a good motor for it? thats always a good way to get speed. can i use any 540 motor or does it have to be a marine motor

yo gweed get the Brushless blackjack 27. Its better then the boat I have because you can make it just as fast in a straight line as mine with just a prop change and your lipo's.. plus it can handle the rougher water. It just doesnt turn as well. Mine turns too well and rolls sometimes.

yea but the ul1 is sick

LIVipers

I am sure that any 540 sized sensorless brushless motor with a higher kv rating will make a difference.

so what would be a good motor an orion or mamba, maby a neu also what would be the lowest turn or highest kv rateing i,d be able to run with the stock esc on the ul-1?

LIVipers

That depends, did you plan on running a 2 cell Li-Po or two 2 cell Li-Po's wired in series?

I run an Ammo Motor in my Mini-C. The one I am linking is the same size as the stock motor that comes with the UL1 with 570 more RPM per volt. It should make a difference, especially if running a 4 cell a Li-Po.

thats cool.... but i'm thinking of something like a 5.5 or 8000kv. they sell a motor mount for a 540 can so i can use that one of those right? i just want the thing stupid fast. also would i have to upgrade the esc for that?

LIVipers

iTrader: (56)

If you want to go stupid fast then a Mamba Max 7700kv would be your best bet. With this esc you will be able to get your speed cravings and still know that you have a good product in your boat so it doesn't just blow up while on plane. You should be able to use the 540 mount in the UL-1.

perfect i'm getting 2 smc 5000 40+c lipos i'll just use those. and i'll get the mamba worst case senario i'll get the castle 240 marine esc. they are cheap like 175 or so. plus i found the boat for a really good price new so i might get it in a couple of weeks. then mod it the next week
