oh yea the 36 mm motors bolt right up, but not enough clearance for water jacket. So if go that rout pick a motor that can run without water cooling. I originally tried a Dynamite pro boat 36 mm, 2000kv 2 to 6 cell motor with the 25 tooth metal car pinion gears, had to remove water jacket to fit. The boat showed promise in the one brief winter test I managed running x435 prop. I'm building jest for sporting fun, during the test I jest got it up on plane with out pushing to hard, still learning to drive hydro's. After the test in my humble opinion, boat seemed a little over powered, for age, design, size, motor seemed a bit warm too with no cooling, so I removed that motor, ESC combo, going a diff rout. I went to a 28mm motor, I carefully drilled the mount so the motor sits centered directly above drive gear, water jacket fits now, 1/8 motor shaft so I went back to original plastic gears. Again jest one very brief failed winter test, running a x432 prop, stuffing tube came loose ending test. Now jest waiting on spring for more testing. Shelf Queen has to run at least once or thrice a year.
