    Default Miss Budweiser nitro to electric?

    I am new on here and didn’t see a lot of info on my search about converting one of the Miss Budweiser nitro boats to FE? I am sure some people have done it. Any recommendations on motor, esc, layout etc? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks! Chris

    I have done it. Makes for a fun little boat !! And cheap too ! I run two 4,400mah 14 volt batteries, a turnigy 120 ESC , 440 3 blade and an old Hacker motor at around 2200kv If i remember correctly.

    I have one, used a Castle 1512 2650kv motor mounted in the cockpit area and two 4000mah 3s packs tucked in the sides up forward. I run a 37mm prop. If you do it keep the rear radio box .

    I have had a few, cheapie Suppo/Mystery one which flamed up( but still runs WTH!!) had a T180 for a bit but I think there is a Raider 150 or Aquacraft 60 in it now. I was going to sell it last year and will probably try again this year. I have another hull in the attic.
    A 60 amp ESC should be lots for either of these configurations.
