    brushless boat question

    I have an rc miss geico 24" that came with a 550 brushed motor, and its pretty slow...looking for peeformance. I now have an 1800kv 6 pole brushless motor. Can i just keep the original shaft collets, or so i need a new collet? Also, should i change the flex shaft to a rudder and strut? Will the flex shaft hold up for the year?? Please get back to me.

    As long as it's strong enough, you'll be OK. The Blackjack 29 uses a high-powered brushless system with a flexshaft and strut.
