cheap outboard for abs tunnel

[gwedo1971]

hi i ended up with a dpi abs 26" tunnel , i have a lil kid down the hall (no dad) that goes nuts every time he see's me leaving with my big boats, thinks he can go ride my big gas tunnel....lol....probably could actually .
anyway i want to put a simple brushed motor outboard on it so he can go to the pond with me and play boats next summer, i have a bunch of nimh 6 cell packs so i wanna go that route im not gonna prop it up or nothin just make it go, if he gets the hang of it and likes it i will try to get something better.

so anybody got any ideals on where to get one cheap or where to look for options please let me know, i thought about inboard but there just isnt room for that. thanks for any help ya'll might have for me.

Just because what your doing, I'd give it to you of I had one...but I don't but have you looked here? http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/search.php

I'm not sure of your budget but maybe some there may be what your looking for. If not, hopefully someone comes along and hooks you up. I do have a brand new 50 amp proboat brushed esc if you need one. You can have it.

do you think i need a esc that big i have a old novak evx like what they had in the e-maxx figured i could use it and thanks for the link ill check it out

i think the Hyper Performance 3.5 Bullet Electric Conversion Kit might just work isnt to pricy and i might have a k&b lower i can use, thanks kfxguy

Cool project and cause Eric. I wish I had something for you.

i was gonna try to get my lil electric rigger put back together i just dont think it could be slowed down enough and stay on top of the water with sub c packs in it and i dont have the money to make it brush-less with lipos then this tunnel came along

Man I to wish I had something in my stash that could help, I do know a gentleman who sold me an REK leg, you may contact JR and see if he has a leg to sell you.
Here was the thread I purchased one from him through http:// http://forums.offshoreelectr...ht=#post437357
I can send you a brushless motor and ESC for no cost that would bolt into a leg like this if you score one, just let me know.... Love to see the kids get out on the water with a controller in their hands!!

I have an REK composite lower out in the shop somewhere if that is of interest. Let me know.

Darin i found a pic of one of those on google that defiantly looks like it would be a lot lighter than a old k&b lower how much are those

I took on a cause like this a couple of months ago for my neighbour's kid. Picked up a beat-up mino-Eco, fixed it up and threw a 2s lipo in it from my mini 8ight. He opens it up tomorrow. It was the best feeling ever wrapping it up.

Now I think I need to get a mini-Eco myself so we can go "bashing" together. Half the fun is running the boat with someone else.
