Hi David, Have you seen my nitro to electric conversion videos? In this series you'll see all the components needed and how to install everything. The individual parts I got from Bill Brandt at Rattlesnake RC who is extremely knowledgeable on everything electric. Take a look at the videos and when you're ready to go for it contact Bill through his website at www.allrc1.com and he'll hook you up! kzread.info/head/PLN1BConcF3a3pRWkDiYSbOCIsBa4y9KWl

@@rebelndirt8830 Yes they have sponsored the full size hydroplanes. In our racing series the boats are nearly exact copies (with obvious exceptions) of the original boat. Take a look here for a closer view of the model as well as a short bio of the real race boat; www.rcunlimiteds.com/2010-2019-nitro-registered/ThumbListItem2_hu620xhx98_2/2011-Lakeridge-Paving
