here is a project ive been doing for the past 2 weeks , its a 30 inch nqd hydroplane which ive completly stripped out and doing a brushless conversion .
ive removed all the motors and both shafts
ive fitted a 100amp water cooled esc ,alloy motor mount , traxxas waterproof servo and rudder
it also has twin water cooling for the motor and esc and bronze prop
ive got a 2000kv motor and 330mm flexishaft on its way which is all thats needed to start the testing
here are a few pics it still needs the paint job finishing off which i will do tomorrow

Looks good mate, been trying to upgrade a cheap surfboader to brushless myself
Always nice to rebuild upgrade models takes you back to what modelling is all about looking good:thumbsup:
