hi all


i ordered two logic brushless speed controllers from my local model shop not aware that they had no reverse function on them cost (£40 each unused managed to sell them for £10 each <:( been wating two months for replacments for my  boat now told not expected till march
my question is
1 the motors call for 60 amps the logic are rated at 75 amps just in case


2 the logics are water cooled and cost £69 95 each


3 do they need to be water cooled


4 is there another esc which will do the same job at about the same price


5  the motors are overlanders t 3548/5


6  or do i bite the bullet and wait ,i have looked at other esc and are now confused
7  batteries  are overlander li po 11.2 5000ml amps
thanks for your time
regards midships

 :-)) Hobbyking every time,got them in all my fast cabin cruisers,brushless outrunner motors and water cooled ESCs go like stink,60amp motors and 100amp ESCs quite a long run time with 2 x 5000ma batteries 14.4v NiMH.I know people say you should spend your money in british companies but I do spend quite a bit in firms like Cornwall model boats and Component shop so everybody gets a look in.I say give it a try and if you don't like brushless you have not spent a fortune, I would not go back to brushed motors for fast boats,I hope I have been of some help,Ray :-)) :-)) :-))

I agree with KINMEL on this . Got two and getting a third but get the programming card as well. It makes life so much easier
