For my intro to mechanical engineering class I have to build a boat that will carry 6 cans. Anyway, We've got the boat part taken care of we just need power(must be emissions free) I was just wondering if anyone had some electric motors or anything that might be useful. Bonus points for the fastest time so I'd be interested in fast shit.

I think we'll need more power than that... I have an xmod and I doubt it could propel a the weight of a 6pack through the water, at least not very fast at all. Thanks for the idea though. Also, there is a $75 cap.

look into a spinbrush up grade if you decide you can do it....trust me..nothing like seeing little rubber particles shred off all 4 wheels...it works....if you decide not to use it look at a used system from a high grade electric rc id say....other than that i have no clue
I would goto some pawn shops or local hobby stores. Buy a used boat and use parts from it to a)mount the motor b)gearing and speed control c)prop setup d)coolness factor
