Hi Ryanb,
You have the correct programming card for that ESC, the motor selection depends on several factors:
- Battery voltage
- Prop selection
- Performance expectations
Apologies if you know the net bit, but I thought it may be useful.
The, "Kv" rating of the motor tells you how fast it will theoretically rotate per 1v of applied power, so if you ran your boat on 12v and used the 1100Kv motors you listed, then in theory the props would have a max RPM of, 12 x 1100 = 13200 RPM, unlike brushed motors, brushless motors don't really slow down under load, they just drain more current until a limit is reached, so it is important to select cautiously.
One point to note about the motor you have chosen, is that it is quite short, this tends to suggest a lower power motor, what I am referring to is wattage, which is stated as 315W, which will be the maximum that can be squeezed out of this motor using the highest voltage it will take, which in this case is 14.8v.
So with P = I x V, we can calculate that for this motor the maximum wattage is, 22 (maximum stated current) x 14.8 = 325.6w, remembering that manufacturers prefer to air on the conservative side when publishing figures, but if you are running 12v, then the wattage falls to, 22 x 12 = 264w (ish).
Considering you are probably running the same props as me, I would suggest a motor with more wattage, as my video on YouTube shows, there is no lack of poke
I can highly recommend Overlander's motors, I use them in several of my fleet and am very satisfied with all of them:
http://www.overlander.co.uk/tornado-thumper-v3-3548-05-900kv-brushless-outrunner-rc-motor-latest-model.htmlAs you can see from the link, my motors are 710w a piece, but I am running on 3s, (11.1v) so that reduces the rating to 532.8w assuming a max current draw of 48A, they are also slower motors being 900Kv, giving, 900 x 11.1 = 9990RPM, but the thing to remember is, this is almost identical to the output speed of my old 850's and as a general rule of thumb, the lower the Kv rating, the higher the torque, which also tend to be lower drain so more time on the lake!
Hope this helps,
Alex
