I am building an Atlantic 75-RIB. I want to powwer it via the uotboards. settled on 1/10th scale as this will give me a larger outboard. But to fit in the motor i have decided to go Brushless. Dont want reversing so settled on a £28 vesion,including speed control. low end just to see what it would be like. If it works and gives enough power then i wil get another to power the other outboard. If it aint man enough then i have only wasted one motor, and go up in price a bit.
So the question is, do they produce much heat, how are they if they get wet, and how accident proof are they, and as i am removing the supplied shaft and fitting a longer one so i dont need a coupling, will it stand up to the shaft maybe beeing out of true?
