Default twinstorm 800 motor upgrade

ive recently got a twinstrom 800 ep 2nd hand and i love it. it just lacking a little oomph
will twin e-maxx titans give me a speed increase if i keep everything stock? (i.e. i wont be changing gearing or props or esc)
i was also looking at team trinitys modified e-maxx motors ( see link below ) would these be suitable for a boat if i modded the cooling system a bit?

The e-maxx motors probably won't do any better than stock even though they're lower turns. The Trinitys will.

I would not put the money into brushed system , rather invest in a bl system.

If you're keeping the stock ESC those motors might be too much for it to handle.[8D]

Look at Kershaw Designs 650 motors-faster than the Titans and use same ESC.[8D]

I would have to know what motors and ESC you are running now.Does it have the Kyosho Perfex ESC?Stock Kyosho 550 motors?Will a longer motor can fit in your gearbox?There is a whole thread about the Twinstorm-check that out and see what those guys did to their boats.[8D]

i got all the stock electronics apart from the radio and servo.
the longer can should fit in fine but are they wider?
will they be faster than stock ones?
