I wanted to share some of my project that I have been working on. When I was a kid, I had a Nikko challenger V boat. I got it brand new in the mid 80's. It was such a cool toy. It wasn't very fast at all on alkaline batteries, but it did go a little better with Nicad batteries. It was one of my favorite RC vehicles ever, but like many things from your childhood, they run their course and fade away.
With an Internet search a few months ago, I found a new one in the box. I knew that I needed to buy it and make it what I always wanted it to be....fast!! I ended up buying it and a Nikko Jet Tornado which is the later version of the same boat. I will be converting it as well with a slightly different set up.
The Challnger V has a traxxas 21T Titan motor powered by a speed control from an old emaxx truck. It supplies 14.4 volts to the motor. It's controlled by a spektrum 3 channel receiver. After a cooked motor, I also added water and fan cooling.
I am not sure if it would be considered "fast electric" but it is certainly much faster than it ever was originally.
