Venom rc boat with brushless motor park puddle

[silencespr]

model number?

Armattan 2822/12 1800kv is not doing well in the boat, its very slow and loud and vibration is crazy, ill take my chances with not fliping the boat over, switching back to Emax 2390289

any updates from you ?

any updates from you ?

No, I don't have any of those parts lying around as spares. I need to ether order them or wait until some pop up in the classifieds. Too many other projects on my workbench at the moment

I have one of these Venom model UDI001 boats. Does the Emax 2390289 motor fit in the stock motor mount?

[silencespr]

yes

I tried installing this exact motor and it does fit but you have to install the motor mount backwards (rotate it 180 degrees). A little grinding will be necessary as well because the Emax motor has a 28mm diameter as apposed to the stock 370's 25mm diameter. The problem is the motor has a giant diameter threaded shaft that's designed for a model airplane propeller and prop nut. A custom coupler is required to be able to connect the Emax motor to the stock prop shaft. It appears silencepr opted not to use a coupler and somehow JB welded the motor shaft to the prop shaft. I'm sorry but it looks kind of hack. It obviously seams to work, however, so I commend his efforts. I have severe OCD so I couldn't live with marrying the motor shaft to the prop shaft with glue. I think silencepr is on the right track with using an drone motor in this boat, but one with a more conventional (RC car and boat friendly) motor shaft is better choice. I continue to use the stock motor, which is perfect for running the boat in swimming pools. Replacing the ESC with one that can handle 3S and using a small 3S battery pack is a better speed option than going brushless in my opinion.
