it'd make the boat cheaper to because it's brushed

edit: here's the link to the motor: http://www.ebay.com/itm/V911-17-Main...item1e760f5380

thanks i never tryed ebay! my bad!! how much slower n less power will that make tho?

builder bob · Feb 08, 2013, 06:24 PM

I don't know really know but it might be about the same because both motors are so small so brushless wouldn't have as much of an advantage.

lacey · Feb 09, 2013, 01:01 PM

ok fair enough! i have no experience with brushless myself its all been brushed stuff iv used so would make it easier and as you say cheaper go brushed

But i certainley dont want to lack power cause of i went brushed? and any idea whats so ever of the speeds of this thing? thanks jack

well you know more about electric motors than me then but I know I've seen some threads on here using little brushed motors and those boats were going about 15mph I think they said.

Ya that don't sound bad stall!! :-D can I ask what's ur main side or the hobby so planes? Tks for the help!!

builder bob · Feb 09, 2013, 08:48 PM

ya planes. i'm getting into boats now though. I do not understand electronics in any way shape or form but I can diagnose IC engine problems and strip down an engine in my head.

lacey · Feb 10, 2013, 02:22 PM
