      I was going to email Patrick and see if it was a typo but he did type it twice so maybe it is true.

        He has to mean 150 and 180. You should print a copy and then e-mail.

            Sounds like it could be good for boats with the High Amp needs!!!

              I can't see why we cant run a airplane version without water cooling if they run that hot?

                  The problem may be the FETs. Most are rated at 25C (77F), and as the temp increases so does the resistance. Eventually it becomes a spiral to overtemp regardless of how high that is. If the FETs used on the Ice are different, then it may be a somewhat step-changing ESC.

                  Reasons why boaters may not want to use it - not wheel radio compatable; not efficiently cooled without plenty of air flow; inability to effectively water cool it; not warranteed because it is being used outside its official designed use. All of these could probably be overcome, but I'd wait for the official marine version myself.

                    Pat told me that a marine version of ICE will be made... that was a few months back at the RCX here in L.A.
                    He also told me that there were some things that needed to be taken care prior to finalize the Marine version... in other words, it may be some time before one could see one of those ESCs around.
                    I hope I'm wrong.

                        Send one of these to me please. I want to see it and will make engineering look at it. Especially now that I'm "one of you" and am getting hooked on boats. Setting up a TT Outlaw 7.5 right now...HV240.

                        And yes, we will be doing a boat version of the ICE down the road. Hold tight guys.
