Funjet from Multiplex

I have seen this raised a few times, but never a difinitive answer with any existing setups.  I am now looking at fiting out a funjet to replace my failing Tigershark Delta.  It was doing around the 170km/hr mark so I want something quick to replace it.  I noticed on an Aussie site they are selling combo packs for the funjet, and the motor for the basic verson is the Turnigy 2836 3200kv fan motor motor, at around 400 watts on 3S and 600 watts on 4S....

If you want real speed then they are suggesting the HET 2W20 Typhooon motor coupled with an 80 amp ESC on 4S pulling upto 900 watts... (and around 220km/hr..)

I noticed there is a new Turnigy inrunner that would suit the bill too, rated as a good alternative to the 2W20:

I think I will go with the first one, as it looks like a good start.

Anyone with a funjet care to post their setups?

The local hobby shop on the Sunshine Coast has them (not sure if any left at the moment) and I also jumped into google and did a quick search and found 4 or 5 pretty quickly.  The prices all seem to be the same, so buying it locally will be cheaper with no freight. Average price is $99.  Would love it if HK started stocking them :)

Well I have bit the bullet and ordered one from the LHS.  $95 and the next delivery is due first thing next week (the day after my birthday!!).

The best motor recommendation I can find so far is the HET 2W-20.  The specs on this are pretty close to the new Turnigy inrunner, now tossing up which way to go.  It will be running on 3S (as I have heaps of them) so I guess I will have a think about it for a few days.
