120a or 180a seaking?

[Titzwhip]

I'm try to decide between the 2, gonna be running 5s and 6s lipos and a stock proboat fastech motor 1500kv I believe, eventually upgrade motor but wanna see how fast I can get the stock motor to go first. Im leaning more towards the 120 but is it nessary to get the 180 if I'm not gonna run a monster motor? Kinda new to brushless and lipos. thanks!

The 120A is plenty enough. The proboat 1500kv as far as I remember comes as a package with a 65a esc. So the 120a should be ok. Plus the 120a can fit in smaller spaces too. I use a 120a in one of my Micro Hydros.

a 120 will work

What hull are you going to use this setup in ?

Thanks guys! It's in 29 Titan hull

The 180 has a better reputation, and has headroom when you upgrade to a hotter motor or bigger boat. It is physically larger, but you have plenty of room in the Titan.....

That's part of the debate I'm having, the 120 will work for what I have now but if I get a bigger motor will it still work with a new set up, that's why I was also considering the 180 and there's a used 180 on here for a good price that was also a factor in my decision lol

Go 180 great esc and when u upgrade which u will u have the headroom

In addition to the additional power headroom, I find the 180 water-line port configuration works better in most of my boats then the 120 does and is easier to configure.

Thanks for all the advise. I went with the 180a! Thanks guys!
