New motor for Volantex Atomic speedboat.

" it has lasted a long time so I am happy with the boat, and the performance is stunning."
If that's the case Robert why risk burning her up with "a more beefy motor"?
Basic question is - Why does she need a new motor in the first place?
(Test/development engineer in me coming out again!🙄)
What's wrong with the original motor?
And would an identical replacement go the same way?
First find the cause and then consider the way forward!😉
Cheers, Doug 😎
PS: Some pics and dimensions of the boat would be helpful 👍
Young at heart 😉 Slightly older in other places.😊 Cheers Doug

New motor for Volantex Atomic speedboat.

Hello, I got a Volantex Atomic speed boat but it needs a mew motor, it has lasted a long time so I am happy with the boat, and the performance is stunning.
Q: Should I scour the internet and source the original motor, I have seen it on-line circa £20
or should I try and install a more beefy motor and perhaps get even more performance from an already fast boat.? I think the standard one is powerfull enough, I have already upgraded the speed controller so can actually try linking 2*7.4 volt Lipos in series to get 14.8 volt, plenty of power.Original battery being 11.1volt.
