A little help for a newbie to boats ............ Ripmax Intercepter 650 Photo0144

Just wanting to know if people have any advice, on how to make it faster,an better GOOD

Currently its totally stock

Has a 540 can motor (27t i think)
SEA ROVER 15A esc
1600 maH nicad 6cell battery

It goes an works ........... but man its SLOW rofl

I have some bigger 6 cell Nimah batterys (3300/3600)
But need/want to do this on the cheap, as its just for a bit of fun GOOD

So doubt very much it will be getting big brushless motors, but that may be the case ;)

Any advice welcomed GOOD

I think I've found some info for you fella GOOD

It would seem the esc is designed for oh, say a fishing boat, at 20 - 36 turn capability laugh

bitch

mark was that site much use i sent u?

I'd just put a brushed setup from a car in there, won't cost too much and a bit of sillicone to waterproof it shouldn't be too hard.

Thats what iam thinking of doing myself matt, cheap an cheerfull british flag

Yup, best way :D Seeing yours and Iains has made me want to get a little something to play with, bidding on a little 400 motor powered race boat which I'll do a bit of redesigning to if I get it.

yeah we ALL need something just for the pond lol

Those ones keenan linked to are a great price, an cheap, an easy to make up too GOOD
