I found the ft009 doesn't like being nose heavy. I usually fill the nose with polystyrene so if it leaks or crashes it keeps the nose up. I would of lost the boat at least 3 or 4 times by now if I hadn't.
I Totally understand the weight distribution issues on a small hull, I use to have a big fiberglass Scarab S type boat I built with a built Picco 80 Nitro engine back in the 80s turned 23,500rpm Just getting back in to this hobby & have a FT009, I ordered & a WL913 electric hydroplane & the WL915 Tunnel Hull. The FT012 only worked 1 time so sent it back.
Hi most of the small brushless motors i tried the screw holes didnt line up. i had to re drill the holes. i also tried the ft012 motor seat but it does not fit and line up well enough.
Hi thank you for your message. I used both a 1500mah and a 1800mah 3s but it was way too fast with that motor and top heavy. I had the best results on 1800mah 3s with a 32mm prop. I can post the battery sizes if needed?
I yes if you put a brushless motor in you have to put a brushless esc in. Which means you have to change to hobby grade radio gear. Dumborc transmitter and receiver packages are good value for money. I use flysky stuff.
vou fazer o mesmo no meu ft 009 , usar este mesmo motor e talvez um esc. 40 amp fvt com reverse e mais algumas partes do ft 012, parece ficar muito bom...pois o motor e potente e leve!!!
BLOODY JOLLY GOOD SHOW THERE MATE 👍👍💛
That 4s battery could go down in front of the motor mate did you try that setup❓

Does the ft009 motor seat can hold smaller than 540 motor? Without drilling a new screw hole
