Default RE: Nitro to Electric

whats the hull length? like I said Im no electric expert (nor am I in nitro but you know what i mean) that boat was powered by a .18 an a deep vee which are not noted to get super amounts of speed without massive amounts of power. I wouldnt even reccomend trying for 60s youll probably waste a ton of money to only find out the hull while may look nicely made cant handle the stress of such speeds an/or designed to handle that fast. Take for example the SV27 both in brushless an nitro setups they have only attained in the upper forties with some serious tinkering, in the nitro version (uses a .15 aquacraft) they all adamantly say dont try to switch up to the bigger .18 motors since the hull is literaly overpowered losing stability an speed. but I would probably post some dimensions weight an some other specifics so some electric gurus could point out a nice set-up.heck I'd look at the brushless supervee thread an take their motor/esc/batt combinations as at least as a way of giving you a bench mark on the motor/esc/batt combo that would best suit you.
