I also have 2 Impulse 31's that run the same 120A esc's but they have a 4 pole 1750Kv motor. What either boat benefit from a motor swap and put the two 4 pole 1750Kv's in the Zelos and put a 6 pole 2000Kv motor in each Impulse?? Would this be considered an upgrade or downgrade for each boat??
Since the power system to each boat is essentially the same, it's purely a motor swap question. Of course I can swap them and try it, but was curious if anyone could answer before I spend the time to do so....
Thanks guys!!!
BOAT ON!!!!!!!!!
If you are referring to the "newer 2000kv motor" you have as the Dynamite 3910 motor then the answer is clear. The Dynamite 3930 1750kv motor kills it in everyway possible. The Impulse v2 came with the 3910 motor and in the Impulse v3 Pro Boat went to the 1750kv. Both boat's ran similar speeds but the v3 was a boat that never had any heat issues at all with this combo. I ran 49mph with my Impulse v3 that I had bone stock with the 1750kv and I put a 3910 2000kv in it just to check speeds and it went 52mph with the exact same prop, batteries and water conditions...but the motor and esc were extremely hot after a 5 min run. The boat felt very under powered with the 3910 2000kv so I changed back to the 1750kv.
Or if you are referring to your "newer 2000kv motors" as the Dynamite 3831 2000kv motors then that's a whole different animal and the 3831 is a faster motor with similar power but the 1750kv still has it in the torque category. You will not run a faster top speed in the Zelos 36 with the 1750kv motors over the 3831 motors. The 1750kv motors are good for about 80mph in perfect conditions and its been proven on here that the 3831's will push the Zelos to 90mph with the right setup. Good luck with it.

Another question, what causes the directional rotation of the motors in the Zelos? One spinning CW and the other CCW? The two 1750Kv motors I have are single motor from 2 different impulses so they both spin CCW. If I take these two and drop them in the Zelos, is one going to run 'backwards' from being backwards? Is the L and R motor the same part number or are they specific to each side?
No I don't see the 6 pole as an upgrade in the Impulse. To reverse the motor rotation just swap the motor wires and the motor will spin the other direction.
