(for now)
    Will this 100A ESC work with a KB36 11XL motor, 4S lipo’s and a 47mm 3-blade prop?

    I have a mystry 200A speed control that I can use, but it isn't water cooled.

      yes Chop it will work with that setup I am currently using a 540XL 10 wind my self with an x438 prop, I an also running a computer fan on top of the cooling fins which works really well no over heating prob's just solder the the fans leads to the input side of the esc right at the board and every time you plug in on it comes, on this esc DO NOT use auto detect manually set it to the 4s configuration, where did you get a kb36?

        oh yea make sure when ordering it is from the usa warehouse it will be marked as such, and do not get the 60 buck model it is not tough enough and do not forget to regester to there site it will save you some money.

          The KB36 came with the boat.

          Hobby king has the ESC you recommended on backorder, 3 to 5 weeks 'til they are in.

          Can I use the Mystry 200A ESC that I have? I know that they are lo buc parts but can it handle the load? What would I have to do to make it work?

            You still might need a pistix so it arms properly but it should handle it ummm, if it has an on board bec you might want to disable it (pull the red wire after setting it up) and use a receiver pack, see if OSE has esc cooling plates so you can get some cooling to it, I was using a HEXTRONIC 80 amp outfitted with cooling plates and a pistix and until I used it with a 6s setup it worked fine. so with 200 amps you should be ok, at least you have something to try. Contact Fuller's fast electrics via email and ask about a pistix you would get it in about 1 week (way better than 5)

              I have a pistix, but I have not needed it on the Mystry ESC's that I have used so far.
