Dave try running a speedo of 200 amps plus, I run the same setup with a swordfish 200amp esc without any issues. I've melted several of the 150 Etti speedo and I personally don't rate them.

Wide open letting off some in turns big sweeping turns good water flow coming from water outlet. Around a 2 minute run bringing back in to shore close to shore it went dead rudder still working at this point. A few seconds later "Pop" then smoke. Removed tape and hatch. Main ESC capacitors blown. Capacitor bank seemed ok. Wires from ESC to motor melted off at ESC. 1st run on new ESC.
