Keep it gas or go electric (Expresscraft 51" Cheeta)

[blazerss]

I know what the general consensus will probably be, but still want your ideas and suggestions. I just picked up this hull today kind of just spur of the moment (Just couldn't pass it up, didn't need it by any means) I was planning on just putting a Zenoah 23cc in it because that is what was originally in it and thats what's in my Shockwave and I'm happy with it. But now I'm thinking about possibly going electric with it since I have kind of switched to nearly all electric. Just wanting opinions on keeping it gas or going electric. If converting what motor/esc would be recommended. Most of my electric boats have been stock RTR's, but I'm starting to get my feet wet with changing the motors/esc's, testing different props, and upgrading hardware. Any suggestions are comments are welcomed.

GAS all the way that hull would not be a good candidate for anything else.

Whaaat? Of course you can convert it to electric. I've seen several that size done. A Leopard 5692 around 800-900KV on 10S would be great. Also could put in a NEU 2200 series motor. Of course you'll need an HV esc.

MUCH cheaper to keep it gas though.

Gas!!

Thanks for the input guys. Thought for sure it would electric responses all the way. Gas would be cheaper, but electric would be a cool project. Just not sure if my pockets are that deep right now.
