You can search the forum for username "Doby" He has done this conversion already and its pretty impressive. He has some video as well. If I can find it I'll post the link.

Dobys boats very nice but i dont have that kinda money to spend do would the setup i was thinking of work ??

I dont know much about the monster 200, but I think you're combo is a good economical choice!

12s puts you're unloaded rpm's just under 29000. Thats right where you wanna be. Whats the max amp rating on that motor??

[Brushless01]

It doesnt say what about a collet ??

[forescott]

What is the motor shaft diameter? I'm pretty sure the rio 51 uses 1/4 inch flex cable. I hope its not the one with the square end. OSE might have what you need. If not contact Jeff Wohlt @ rcraceboat.com. He can make you something for sure.

Thanks !! how could i wire the monster to have two batteries in series and 2 in paralel im going to use ec5 connectors

What about a mount ??

[forescott]

I think the rio 51 has 5" spacing on the rails. Check out http://southriverrcboats.com/shop/ca...%26cid%3D16%26 They have a bunch of rail mounts for brushless motors.
