wellll... maybe. You could get the 700bb turbo with ESC combo for about $100. Then you would need a new prop which I can help you balance and get setup. And then you need other acssesories such as motor mount etc. Cheap things. Plus If you wanted you could get better 6 cell packs.

A pair of 19turn Chameleon motors would really wake your boat up!,,, probably close to 30mph, with good run time, but just watch your heat, you may need good water cooling.

Hi,

8 turn motors will draw massive Amps, give you lots of revs, need smaller props to make use of those revs, and will probably smoke the stock ESC...
I expect the runtime to suffer too.

Watercool them and buy spare brushes.

Moderate turns will probably work better.

Greetings, Jan.
