Get da 35. Cause when the 29 blows up after modding it, you'll have neither. :D

A lot depends on how well it works now...

On a longtail --- speed is not going to be as important to most
as pushing power and ability to plane a desired load well....

Sometimes the best upgrade is a new prop and fresh spark plugs....

I would start with those --- seen several motors with extra mods
slinging old worn out props --- just makes me shake my head
and wonder....

If youre moving a really large load you will see a difference,an average load not too much.Traveling at 20 mph it will take roughly 30 minutes to cover 10 miles which is a hell of a lot longer run than most folks have.At 25 mph it will take roughly 25 minutes to cover same 10 miles.Not exact figures but not far off. Hang on to your money and get up 5 minutes early.
