Nice build Max!

That motor looks tiny in that large hull, but does a good job pushing it along.

Which ESC did you use?
I noticed it had reverse.

Regards, Jan.

The motor is a 3KW, thats over 4 Hp in the old money, water cooled brushless in runner 4084-1050KV. Max 22V
The ESC is a 200A water cooled unit. They both come from Hobby King. The ESC is over kill but it was only a few dollars more for the bigger unit.
The video shows it running at 14V which is pretty realistic. At 22V it is dangerous, but fun.
