Seam Is this the motor ? I'm sure Pandam wont mind me copying this as its to sell there item it looks good I use 2.5 to one belt drives as i think they can be a bit quieter ,
funtimefrankie the 34" tender is not the easeyest to get planing ,just make the mounts so you can experiment and buy cheap props till you get it right, sometimes going down in size with props can let the motor rev a bit and drop the current without the loss of speed , but it will stay cool , when I played with mine I found I had the right motors but ruled them out as I thought they would be rubbish Just keep it as light as possible

Pandan - 785 Darke Horse Turbo Motor with Modified 2.5:1 Gearbox and cooling coil
After a lot of testing we have come up with the ultimate replacement for the slow MFA 850 Torpedo Motors. This motor/gearbox combination will give you the best perfomance available for a minimum cost for all those MFA boats and Precedent Perkasa/Huntsman kits. This combination will provide stunning performance when coupled with 18 cells and a 50mm or 55mm prop and with less than 15 amps current draw does not require a super expensive ESC to control it. In fact we recommed an Electonize FR30HX which will provide forwards and reverse and can handle up 18 or 20 cells or 24volts.
The motor is a special high torque turbo version of the Johnson 700 motor and we provide a specially modified 2.5:1 gearbox which gives a super low current draw (11 amps typical) with an immense amount of torque to turn props of up to 65mm. This setup also provides super long run times with 3600 Mah battery packs and because of the low current draw very little cooling is required, but we also supply a cooling coil to ensure that the motor runs cool even on long high speed runs. Also included is a specially modified motor mount, and a 4mm Raboesch coupling insert to fit to the twin ballraced output shaft, to enable you to connect to your existing setup.
Fit two of these units in a Perkasa or MFA Tracker and you will be amazed at the performance!
