Okay so I have two speed boats and a Tug, figured I would shoot for the middle with a boat that does 35-42mph on 4s, and can be used in rougher water.
First thing was to remove the strut drill it out with a 1/4" drill and insert a 3/16 speed master bushing so the standard flex cables could be used. Next was to install the Leopard 4074 1650 KV motor and raider 150 amp ESC. The boats factory motor mount was pretty close but I had to remove the 36mm rear support and dremel it out to 40mm. Next was to slightly open up the rear mount holes that hold in the rear support. Only needed to remove about 1/8" material. Next was to remove the wooden center battery tray and install the ESC mount and then put in two carbon fiber battery trays toward the rear of the boat, to help try and get close to the 30% cog. Finally the last step was to add a longer rear rudder a 645 prop and floatation to the front and rear canopy's with a bungy latch system incase of an unforeseen event.
