a ED sea otter (no radio scarey).I just don't have a clue about what size motor I need and matched esc to give a good performance,many thanks for any idea's. ;) %% [size=78%]  [/size]

Hi,
I have a Sea Commander with a DC motor in it.
My next project is a Fairey Huntress the same size as the Commander and I am fitting a 45 mm brushless in it with a 60 amp speed control.
This type of motor will run on 22V.
Regards
