ok im thinking of purchasing this boat (see link) http://cgi.ebay.com/HYDROPLANE-RADIO...ayphotohosting , then taking out the drivestyem thats instaled and changing the motor,putting in this motor, http://cgi.ebay.com/B20-Brushless-mo...QQcmdZViewItem with a proper 30Amp esc (brushless), still using the standard props and stuff, until problem. do you think this would be a good setup???? how fast would you think somthing like this would go, and if anyones bought this boat lets see some pics or comment on its preformance. thanks

Sorry man, I think other people would agree with me when I say you are wasting your money. Go out and find something else or you can wait just a little bit longer and get a SuperVee 27.

Nice boat for the money so I read. I have one on the way and all the right gear to make her rip is coming too. Check it out.

Hi there....i have that same motor, as well as a walkera 380M (3100kv) and am undecided as to which to put into a micro-redbird i bought...any ideas? re the NQD - i'd buy an empty hull to start with, forget about RTR cheapos which you intend to cannibalise. I've done that a few times - and it's way too expensive in the end and results are mediocre at best!! I have seen them run in real life (or real death actually) cos the thing seems to have an identity crisis...doesn't seem to be too sure whether it's a hydroplane or a sub.
Even with brushless components you'd be sacrificing performance cos of the badly designed very heavy hull (which is leaky too)....

Check out www.astecmodels.co.uk they have never let me down. If you're a beginner i suggest you go with one of the smaller v-hulls - you just have to epoxy the hull and deck together, and not have to worry about flexishafts and complicated stuff, which would be the case if you buy a hydro or cat.

All the best,
Andrew

money isentreally a big problem as i have a pleatura of it, i just wanna take tat boat and make it fast. all iw anna know is if its possable to see 50 70 mph outs that. ill probally just end up building a 23 inch rigger again, i had one efore but my depentions were messed and it didnt plan.

LOL, no. You would see maybe 25-30mph from what you have described

I don't understand this.
Ryan

depentions were messed up, i had to runners at he back end and it wouldget get on plane, only plow water

What are depentions? And how are you expecting 70mph from that NQD and BL plane motor? It is not even a 400 size can.

Ryan

yes steer clear of that boat my 5 year old thinks its boring if that means anything

wooow
ok , well 50 -70 mph isnt possibly , i odont even think on a 23 inch rigger
and what are depentions????[&:]
