    Default Want to convert my nitro tunnel to electric (need advice)

    I would like to know if someone would be able to tell me what I need to convert my 48" DPI 1/4 scale tunnel from nitro to electric? If someone can tell me what I need such as size of motor,esc size, battery sizes,motor mount to bolt on electric motor to K&B lower unit? I would like to know if someone has this set up and would like to sell their motor or tell me what I need for this complete conversion. My tunnel is 48" long,aprox.,12 to 15 lbs.,I am running an X-450 3 blade octura prop.with a K&B 13cc outboard.
    THank You.

    These where fast boats,as I can remember, it was like strap a k&b moter on a f/g hull on Friday and blow off a bunch of 1/8 scale hydros on Sunday!!! As far as converting it to electric, I just don't know how much room there is inside for batteries,esc, ETC. We will have to wait for feedback.
