Brushless Elam

Hey there guy's
I've just got a brushless 1:12 Elam & was wondering whats a better esc or motor?
Its all stock at the moment running 2s 5300 batteries & a brass 40mm prop. It goes okay, about 40mph but was looking to push it a little more.
Is a new 120 plus esc going to make the boat faster?
If so which is the best one to buy?
Cheers
</p>

No, the ESC only provides the motor with the power that the motor demands.

RE: Brushless Elam

A new motor that draws more power will require a new 120A ESC. What are your goals. If you have 40mph currently what do you realistically expect?

I'd like to push it into the 50's with out a problem.
I have a nitro version that leaves this one for dust & want to be able to catch it
