[quote utahgolf]what lb thrust motor do you run on your tube?[/quote]
[#0000FF]Running a 40#...but a 30 or even a 24 will do the job. I started with a 30 and I think I got as much top end speed as with the 40...with less battery suck. The main reason I got the 40 was for the extra 6" of shaft length. I got a long/tall upper body and with the 30 inch shaft on the 30# thrust I got cavitation if I raised the motor up high enough for the control arm to be easily accessed. The 36" shaft is just right for me but probably not necessary for folks of lesser "stature".[/#0000FF]
