Ha! I knew you were going to say that Alfa! I really wanted to stick with running 2s as I don't have any 3s packs..yet. Do you think there will be any issues running it with the 120a ESC on 4s in the mean time?

Are they chinese amps or european amps? I think they are different

You should be fine with the T120 on 4s. Especially since you are running a low KV motor. I just ran one with a Leopard Motor on 4s last week.

I'm curious to see how well it performs.

The Turnigy 120 Marine will work on 4S but this esc isn' t waterproof
Turnigy AquaStar 120A and Seaking-120A (Version 2.0) are waterproof

Here' s a Turnigy 120 waterproof

do you happen to know what green water proofing material that is?

Unless they did some revamping the Aquastars are not water proofed

Thanks guys. I'm going to try the XL. I figured on 4s the 120A ESC should be able to handle it. I'll post the results.

imo the kv would be to low for 4s
try the black jack motor with the 440/3

The one I got last week was very lightly coated. See photos in this thread: http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=16114

I did pick up a can of Acrylic Conformal Coating and have been coating all my electronics with it for a while now.

Yes they do have a coating of something. I wouldn't say they're water proof but more of a water resistant/ splash proof.

I was considering that but isn't the Black Jack Motor 1500 Kv?

[ozzie-crawl]

it should be a bit higher than that,its a fairly high torque motor and will spin a decent size prop with out pulling huge amps
