[QUOTE="bluegrasser, post: 182815, member: 4652"] Basstender - I had an Endura 30lb thrust for YEARS that I still use on a canoe from time to time. Interestingly, I have had a hard time getting used to the Traxxis mechanism for stowing and deploying it. I bought that model because it was supposed to be EASIER to stow and deploy. I find it kind of strange, but maybe just because I was used to the other way for so long. Also, I had bought a Kipawa 3-blade prop for my old Endura and that thing would fly. I don't think I move a whole lot faster with the Traxxis with the two-bladed "Weedless Wedge" prop. Upon reasearch, though, I have learned that I shouldn't necessarily expect more "speed" with a higher thrust motor, but simply better performance with load - Ie. bigger boat size or against a stiff current. Haven't used it enough to weigh in on that though. Hopefully soon! :D [/QUOTE]
