I would definitely restore it, its a nice looking model, and these days there are some really small powerful brushless stetups you can get (greater minds than mine on here will be able to help) 👍

iv been on the forum for years....ask the fellas that mess with traction tugs they all bend over back wards to help never had any replies on the fast boat section...shame really

Definitly restore her! She is a thing of beauty. If your speed is slow even with a brushless (and yours looks pretty large) it may be the prop is the wrong pitch, and needs changing for one that matches the power better. It might be too fine?


Does the motor rev slow? If so check the shaft for tight bearings or lubricant that is too stiff, or maybe the battery is wrong???
