You have a couple of options depending on your budget and how fast you want to go. You can go with a 700SC motor and a Jetti navy 600 esc with 12 nimh cells and have speeds in the mid 20's. The other option is brushless and lipo's. I started with the first option and then went to a KB45L motor and a Cermark 70 amp esc on 4S1P lipo's and have gps speed of 35.8 on a M545. I have since put on a X645 detonged prop and am at about 40.

Egneg, I like that indoor/outdoor carpet you installed in your place...it really looks good

Sewer, it does run well with the setup he's currently using.

I have one set up with a sv motor 80 amp mystery esc fdm strut and rudder combo built on a budget runs sweet on 2-2s lipo really fun to drive people dont expect it to be as fast as it is
