Building a Brushless Shockwave 36

[tanzi411]

I am converting a Pro Boat Shockwave 36 to brushless. I need help with the esc, batts, and motor. I am looking for 40mph+. I already have a octura x445 prop I want to continue to use. I would prefer to use inexpensive hobby king components as we'll.

Talk to Lenny!

Hi.
Post some pictures of your boat when you can,
So we can see what you have to work with.

Did you just pick up that one off eBay? :-) saw one the other day and almost bid on it. They are nice looking, and I know Lenny enjoys his. He's the man to talk to there.

I saw that one on e bay too! But it was 2:00AM and I was too tired to do anything, I thought of Lenny's boat, I have always wanted to convert one, oh well.
OP: keep us posted.

Anyone on motor and battery combos?

Hey did you do a search yet on the boat ?

Mine runs pretty good with a 4074 2000kv and a T180a esc turning a 187 flex with a x646/3 prop,
Running on 2s in series or 4s in parallel.

How about a motor and batts for the x445 prop I have?

[Bullwink]

I have run a Neu Castle 2200kv on 4S with a x445 and a Hobby King 180 ESC and it runs great and cool. But that motor may be more than you want to spend. If so, I would go with a Leopard 4074 2200 or 2000 (as Lenny suggested)with that prop.

Hey have you done anything else with yours ?
Any new pictures or video's or speeds ?

I was thinking 1800kv maybe a good setup to,
It lets you have more cell setups to run.
Like with my Pursuit that I have been testing on 3s,4s,5s,6s and a x447/3 prop.

Is it ok that my prop is only 2 blades?
