Default Need hull for fast e motor

I salvaged a Valenion 380 and VXL 3M motor and ESC from an old Traxxas e Revo. I put the motor into an old Traxxas Blast boat but the motor is way too fast for the hull. Can you suggest a better hull for this motor?Thanks for your advice.

That motor is not really appropriate for most FE boats. It is a small format 380 motor best suitable for boats under 25" but the 4000 kV means it is appropriate for 2S tops. It might work in the Blast on 2S with a small prop like an Octura x431 or x531. Running it on 3S or 4S means it will burn up soon....

check out the Delta Force mini Sniper, Storm and the 22" Vortex hydro.
Could be some fast 2s setups.
Never seen any of those small boats in person, the bigger hulls I've seen from DeltaForce I've seen are nice though. Fast and good handling.
