  Great video Nick and very informative. Yes, l can vouch for how fast it is and also, how heavy it is. Clearly demonstrates that for racing on the open sea that weight definitely IS an beneficial!

  Hi Nick great video! Is there much comparison cost wise building an equivalent petrol or nitro powered boat?  Also what do you think about the Futaba 7xc? Would love one but pricey compared to my 4grs

  Offshore racing with these boats must be absolutely spectacular! I am very interested in the setup of these boats and I'm curious about a couple of things: Why are the motors mounted up front when the stingers are right at the back, as there is flexibility to shift components around for the correct CG? And is it mandatory for the "safety releases" to be mounted on the front deck, after all, long leads add resistance to the electrical system, do they not?  I really hope that the smaller hull is rigid enough, as it would be such a lot of work to reinforce it now. Good luck with the 2020 race season Mr. Adams, and stay safe!

  Great  talk on your boats.. I am working on one about the size of your  big one  but nothing  near the  battery capacity. I  sport around on a lake . I was interested in your  battery placement. Mine is doing some prop walking . I think I will try and move the batteries more t the port  side.  The prop torque is a killer for sure. Nice job.

  What cell lipo’s are in the 145? Because they are huge, is it in series or parallel ?

  Hi Nick, I am doing a large twin (through a gearbox, one motor, 2 60mm 3 bladed props) mono (1.4m) build now and thinking of using my 2 Tattu 6S 22,000 mah, 25c packs in series for 12s.  Lots of people are saying the batteries will not handle it. I am using a TP 5860  10D 600kv 6 pole motor and ZTW Seal 300a ESC. What do you think?
