    Ok guys, revolt stock motor 180 turnigy esc and running on 5s for two months. Smoked the motor today. What's a good replacement motor I can run the revolt on 5s. I have neu castle motors on all of my onroad rc stuff. Even though its a great little boat.
    Not sure if I want to spend 300 bucks on it for a top shelf set up.

    So I twisted the stock shaft and deep sixed my M545 prop last week, some damage to the shaft tube so it had to go.
    I wanted to keep it simple but lower the motor and move aft a bit so I did this:
    Boat was more stable and ran 46.9 mph on 4s1p 40c batt and M645 prop....cornered like a dream but a little loose in the straights.
    I temporarily cut out the back of the batt tray to slide the batt further aft and leveled the strut a bit...still plan to replace the stock batt tray, just didn't have time.
    Drilled holes to insert screws to the aft of the mounts but found it was very solid as pictured so left it as is....I'll probably put some more screws in when I get the gumption :)
    Fair Winds!
