Hey guys,
I just aquired an old traxxas blast. The original one. It has no motor or esc but everything else is in it. I want to pop a cheap brushless setup in. But the boat going to be my rescue boat so nothing serious for speed. I just want something that will run cool. and I can remove the rescue gear and the kids can drive it. Maybe 15-20 mph.
I'm thinking this esc...

hobbyking 30A boat esc 3a UBEC
3amp should be enough for servo and it has LVC
This motor...

2040SL 4800KV brushess inrunner with water jacket
and then just a small 2s lipo like 3000mah 20C
I can't find my calipers so I'm not sure what couplers I need or if the brushless motor will just mount to the coupler I have in the boat already. It has the stock plastic prop on it but will that keep my temps down?
the boat has no water pickup for watercooling so I was thinking of making a pickup tube that goes out past the prop so the prop forces the water into the jackets since it will be pulling a boat it may not be moving along fast enough for the pickups to just be on the hull.
Or is all of this just unneccasry and pickup a stock esc and motor that will fit in it.
any advice greatly appreciated. Thanks guys!
