I beseech thee, oh Brushless Gods....

well, that was an exercise in futility. it didn't work...the hull took on too much water.

I ended up putting a CC 8000kv motor in there with a Dynamite mini tazer on 2S. I reamed two holes in the hull...one for the steering and one for the motor to peek out of. I think I might need bigger props if I want this thing to go.

I'm also gonna pick up another cheapo chinese boat. At least the prop on that looks decent and it's a single motor configuration 540 size direct drive. I'll hafta look further into it. I may end up putting the drivetrain on the first boat...and perhaps a VXL motor with a Mamba 25 to power it. Or, I could just throw in the R1-Pro to power it.


No, scratch that. I'll use my MM to power it. I won't feel too badly if if gets wet and fudged up. I'd blow a gasket if it was my R1-Pro.

Or hey! I have a Novak Super Duty laying around! Would that be able to spin the VXL?
