what kind of motor would i buy?

Assuming that you're asking "What motor SHOULD I get?", I have to say "That depends on what you want it to do". Just as you can't expect a car like a Geo-Metro to go from 0-60 in 5 seconds (but rather would need a Corvette for such), getting a motor in the $90-150 range that can only provide 18-25 lbs thrust will move you on a lake fine, but be somewhat slow. The advantage of the cheaper/smaller motor is that it uses less power, so you can have a smaller battery and/or it will last longer. If you want one that can handle a rivers current or move you faster, you may need one with 30-40 lbs thrust range that will cost ~$175-250. Going bigger than that is probably not a good idea since this boat manual says "Max motor weight ~20 lbs" and even the 40 lbs thrust model will likely be 25lbs weight (or at least that's what mine is). If you want to know about name brands, look at reviews to see if there's lots of "Poor quality" ones or such, otherwise many will do a fine job.

The Recommended Motors are B4-2, B6-4, C6-5. I fly mine with C6-5, and I use regular estes wadding.

This motor is ready to go out of the box with cables. You need a battery and that's it. I also bought a battery case to keep it dry. It should push your canoe fine.My little 12ft fishing boat flies thru the water.

cheap motors, if you flew it 30 days you got a good batch of motors. don't by the LaTraxx replacement motors. save money and invest in something else.

THis may not be a straight answer and I appologise. But let me tell you, Brushless is the ONLY way to go. I would assume the difference is 10+ mph. If looking for a slower one, You may want to go brushed. Gas is a headache and always jacks itself up. Brushless delivers speed, torque, reliablity. Maybe others have better advice. Albeit I am sure most would agree that brushless is by far the most fun. Good luck on your search. Feel free to ask more questions. Is the price your only issue?

I wanted to add I think you will be very satisfied with this motor. I don't know what to say about the 540 cc

Hello, I need a motor to move slow. How slow would it rotate on the slowest speed? Thanks

This version at the price it is asking for is most likely brushed. You can start there and if you want more speed/power traxas makes a conversion mount for a brushless motor. All that to say the brushless motor version of this usually starts in the 700$ range if not more.

I would recommend the Dynamite for your truck. The Sport tuned is a great motor but is better suited for buggies. You will have more speed with the Dynamite as it is a modified, the Tamiya is a stock motor.

I would recommend a brushless motor kit. The have two kit one for the main motor and one for tail motor. I think that would be your best bet. The original motor are cheep and fail often. The brushless motors are a little bit more money but do not fail.

Hi Nini...you will need the motor mount that you can purchase on Amazon for about $20. You will also need the motor...I recommend a Minn kota...a deep cycle marine battery and charger...have fun!

Save your money to go to brushless. It just ran a little bit better than the stock brushed motor.

this one is a brushed motor, they do also have brushless options for a higher price on amazon.

Just a 540 size brushless motor preferably 10t to 12t brushless speed control to match the amps and install. would also need a 2 cell lipo battery for best performance.

I suggest a 40lb thrust. I use a Coleman air pump with no issues. Good trolling motor battery and charger are also important. As with any trolling motor, don't expect to troll all day or get an extra battery.
