I have a cheap boat that I use to cruise the ponds and alongside the full size boat while going down the canals etc.. It is also great for my G/F and Dad to use and learn on and they love it. It has a 550 titan marine motor in it and a crappy stock ESC (unknown specs)
Anyways to my question...
I upgraded the motor to the current one and The stock ESC in the boat gets even hotter than it used to (still got way too hot stock) even after I water cooled it..I decided to get something a LITTLE better in hopes I dont have to worry about failure...wanted the cheapest thing I could find that would support the little power I put through it..
The stock esc has both forward and reverse.
I bought a new turnigy 20amp brushed esc from a guy on ebay...and AFTER i bought it the guy told me it is for airplanes only and has no reverse...
My question...will this esc work in my boat, or should I just re-sell it and look for something else?
Any info, help would be great
Thankyou!
