So I'm converting a .25 nitro 33" deep vee into a brushless powered beast. I have Peter Zicha working on motor mounts and esc plates. Either a Fiago 580xl or a 15 series neu will be going in.
This is the boat in question

Now I've been looking at esc's on the store page here looking at the Etti and Castle esc's. However. the Higher the Amp rating the more Jam the esc has correct? So wouldn't the Etti with a 4-14 lipo S rating but with only 100amps be a dogg? The Castle 240 seems like a nice unit aswell but is there another product out there for around the same price or cheaper then the castle that takes the cake? I also was looking up the Turnigy escs. What I'm not picking up on is 180amp but only 6s limit, then others are 180amp and 80amp 12s limit. Can someone give me a hand with picking a esc out?
