any solid motor upgrades for the impulse 31 yet??

[Darin Jordan]

I see the Thunder Power motor is sensored. Will it run without a sensor wire, or does one need to use a car/truck esc with it? Darin, I know you've been boating for a lot longer than me, but ive never seen a sensored marine esc. What esc are you using?

I run mine sensor-less with a Hydra 240.

Which motor do you own, and what ESC do you pair with it? I am confused on the options for this one on the OSE site. I am looking for 50mph ish running 4s2p running a M445 prop. Any help would be great, as th motor specs have me all worked up!

I currently run mine stock and get 33.7mph out of it. Scroll up and read Darins first post about the 2100kv motor. That's what I have ordered to drop in along with a sea king 180esc. That should push this boat into the 50s no problem. I'll post my results soon as I get my new stuff put in. If you upgrade yours quicker post your results.

So... I am looking at the Leopard 2150kv 2Y out on OSE.... but can someone with some knowledge clue me in as to what the 2D, 2Y, 3Y designations mean on the spec / model numbers on some of these motors??? Is this just part of the model numbers, or is this a technical variable I need to make consideration of? The Keda motor looks interesting, but I think the Leopard has better operating specs.

Any help or confirmation on this would be appreciated!

I am running a Tacon 4074 - 2150kv with a Hydra 240 on 4S.
Is the X645 still the prop of choice?
What kind of speeds can I expect?
Thanks

Which water jacket do you use with either the THPM18A1900 or the THPM18A2100?
