Hi guys i recently purchased a 1/96 HMS Solebay,it came with the motors and running gear,but no rc,I have Hitec speed controller mod,SP-6/10A  6-8.4v would this be suitable for this type of boat,or alternatively, i have an Mtronics viper marine 15 and a viper marine 25

the main bit of info required wullie
is what type of motors installed?
that is what states the required rating of ESC

[dougal99]

Gingyer is right it depends on the motors, but if the motors in a 1/96 warship model are drawing more than 15 amps I think you need to change them.

Theres a first Wullie, something you dont know. 

What motors you got. Damn, something I don't know.

Going off the numbers, to get the scale performance, the Hitec would be a bit near its limit for current at its maximum voltage, assuming optimum matching of motor(s) and prop(s).  The 15A ESCs are a much better bet.  It needs something like 65 watts into the motor to go like the real thing.

Hi guys now i have the required info the motors are 2 x Graupner Speed 400,s 6v driving 4mm shafts to  30mm props,
