    Seaking 120 vs Hydra 120

    I'm putting a Neu 1509 1y in my pickle and was gonna use a hydra 120 but can't seem to find one anywhere. Is the seaking 120 just as good? I know I've asked alot of questions lately and appreciate the help you guys have given me. So if my questions seem stupid or repetitive it's because I have no friggin idea what I'm doing. I'm having alot of fun learning. Thanks again.

    Will this be a 4S (14.8v) boat?

        The seaking 120 should work, but I'd like to use the 180A because I like to have the headroom.
        I ran the Neu 1512 2D on 4S in a 24" Fiberglass hydro and a seaking 120a. the ESC blew the caps but survived the ordeal. If you go with the 120a add a cap bank for insurance.

        Keep in mind that my Neu 1512 2D has a max surge watts of 2000
        ...and your 1509 1Y has a max surge watts of 1500 so it shouldn't punish your esc as much as mine did

            The 1509 1Y is a 2S motor. Maybe 3S, but not 4S. It's 3600 Kv.

            I use that motor in my N-2 Offshore boat, 2S 10,000 MAh packs and X442 prop. It's an 80-90 amp setup.

              Here's the part that confuses me. I plan on using 2-2s 5000mah batteries. So not knowing any better I'm assuming thats 4s? Thanks guys for helping me out.

                Good eye David, I saw it as 2600kV. I guess I shouldn't answer postswhile driving.
