Default Pro Boat 1/8 hydroelectric conversion.

Hi guys.
After some help/advise please.
I have a pro boat 1/8 hydro and would like to convert it to brushless from the original zenoah setup.What motor/esc setup would you use for it to get similar performance?
Regards OMRA.

Id go with a 5694 1000 kv motor on 10s and use an alien esc,im planning to run that setup in an apache but with twin motors and a twin alien esc,you should see good speeds with that setup.Im using the sss motors they seem pretty good and a decent price.

contact them about the esc here he will have one made to your specs if you tell him what you need.

that to me is a bit high of kv for 10s use... 37,000rpms
on 8s is would be great
or a 780-/+ kv on 10s

I do have a Leopard 5692 1090kv that I am thinking of letting go...

Yea plan is to set the throttle to 75-80% for normal use and full for speed runs .I may also try her on 8s but I do like the idea of 10 s for an all out speed run or two .
