Leave it alone and don't mess with it. Theres no need to swap anything out unless you plan to upgrade both the motor and ESC at the same time. Horizon presently sells this boat as "6s ready", straight from the horse's mouth. Don't believe me? Call Horizon and ask.
Just keep the stock prop and raise the strut nice and high so the prop is not overloaded.
I usually run mine all on 6s, all-bone-stock with a balanced and sharpened stock prop. The motor and wire connectors get fairly hot after hard running, but nothing has burned up. Consistently runs 50-60 mph.
