    A very popular set-up here is the Neu 1527 1.5Y on 10S. You could also run a Castle 2028 on 8S or 10S. Look for a 1527 size motor from HET or Leopard if on a budget and make sure the ESC you purchase is up to the task.

    This class looks like a lot of fun!
    what kind of speeds do these boats run down the straights ?

        Never checked.. Fast enough to be an absolute blast!!
        In the upper 50s low 60s I'd guess.

                    Fast enough for me!
                    those are cool...
                    I've thought about a Brushless Backlash but this is better IMO

                        I've managed to top 70mph with mine. Surprised the hell out of me.

                                    I have to agree w/ Tyler and Fluid the 1527/1.5y on 10S is the best combo, and the current national champion setup. I've been running this setup in my scales for 6+ years and they are flawless and with the newer batteries we are going faster and faster. Doug Twaits scale at the nats this year was probably the fastest scale boat I've ever seen.

                                        Evening gents, I just bought a 1/8 Exceed gas hydro hull that I plan to put brushless. I see where someone said a Castle 2028 would be an ok motor for this hull. Is that correct? Also should I upgrade the hardware or can I get away using the hardware that comes on the gas hydros? Thanks!!!
