this seasprint requires water cooling as it has no heat dissipation plate, assuming its going to be used at its potential. Ignore the stated Ripmax spec, its a load of rubbish, by memory something ridculous like 200amps! I have had a couple of these, they are good, be careful of the wires that attach the on/off switch, very prone to breaking off. I had this problem under warranty, and whilst dealing with Ripmax I challenged the stated specs, they just could not justify them, some sort of stupid calculation, it actually has a stated amp draw more than the electrical circuit on a house :}

It will only power one motor, will not be capable of powering 2, for that you need a esc that is better, such as electronise 35amp 

You need a seperate BEC 6 volt supply, which is the only draw back, but its also reverse which is a bonus. You cant get them now, so treat it well :-))

If it transpires that you dont need it, pm me I would be interested in buying it!
