    It already is. The motors the same physical size as the "standard" motors, SV, UL-1, and BJ (good luck finding anything formally in writing though),,,and its got an 1800 KV rating right in the middle of all the others.

    No need to mod anything...place in water and run.

        This i know. Heard there is a vote on the issue currently, but even if it passes we aren't likely to see it in the rule book anytime soon. This is hearsay, but my source seems pretty reliable. Propperchopper mentioned getting just the hull if it is available instead of an rtr, so that is what i meant by rigging it up. . I'm thinking 4s2p for lso. I'll be right at the 10000 maH max.

          From what I've seen in the vids, the MC runs light really on its feet and shouldn't need more than maybe 6500-7500 mAh on board for an LSO heat.

                    We time ours from a LeMans type of a start. Should be OK with a mil lap thrown in. Plus our course is slightly smaller so there would be more turns as well= more drain. On a full size course it would probably be fine with a mil lap.
