Brushless hpi baja rc-monster

[FG101C]

I think I'm going to do this too. Not in a big hurry, I'll run the gas motor until everything is ready, i.e. the esc and conversion kit. I'm thinking, since Mike is having good results with the 1527, of going with the 1527 1.5/Y on 8s. The problem is on Castle's site the motor is $302.00 shipped.

Anybody have links to some good boat forums so I can start searching for a good used one?

Also, Mike, how do you think the Castle 1717 would do, would it be enough?
