Will a kb45 17xl work in an eighth scale boat?

Steve maybe it wasnt directed toward me but if it were it would have made me feel kinda dumb. I just dont want anyone to get heated about this. Were all pals rite?

To me 200 dollars isnt a cheap alternative when i can get a neu for what 350?and know what I have. What about a 1900 series neu?

You have to factor cheap and reliable. Personally I rather spend a couple of dollars more and enjoy a Sunday off, instead of going home upset.

A good outrunner in a heavy boat is going to last a long time. The neu 1900 series is also a good choice. Contact Andrew at fastelectrics. He has experience with those.

I agree with that whole heartedly

I wish you could supply me with a HV 200 amp speed control under 200 dollars. The profit margin on these things is rediculous.The microcontrollers only cost a few dollars. A shultze that runs a hybrid car yeah I can understand 600 dollars look at the liability there u need redundancy, but a boat speed control $600? thats rediculous in my opinion. We can do better than that. Well at least I can. Ill make my own esc for 600 dollars and it will power the world.LOL!

Why hasnt novak and tekin got more involved in this stuff? Novak made brushed stuff years ago (mc510) that would handle burst current of over a 1000 amps at 7.2 volts and they never needed that much.We need to put pressure on the us companies to compete for manufacturing. It up to us to create demand for USA products. For that reason alone im going to buy a screamer even if I dont use it to pay hommage to my fellow citizens. Were losing and we got to do better.

Excerpt from: uncyclopedia.wikia.com/wiki/HowToDividebyZero
　
Some have theorized that a successful division by zero would lead to the creation of a new universe, which would annihilate the present universe. However, this may not be as problematic as it sounds, as the current universe is basically *S*H*I*T*E* and the new one is likely to have free beer.

The Windows calculator bundled with Windows Vista is said to be able to divide a number by zero, but no one has been able to get past the billions and billions of warning prompts. Actually, they haven't even been able to get past the billions and billions of warning prompts required to open the calculator in the first place.

... might also put an END to this thread ???

Lol good stuff.

Ijust talked to an expert I know out in oklahoma that reminded me that 60mph is slow for a scale boat and the piccos we ran had approx. 6 hp so Ive been underestimating the nitro stuff were converting from.

Thread? It's mostly a diatribe by a newbie/troll - 2/3rds of the posts are by the OP, he repeatedly strung 3 posts together without even getting a reply. Since he clearly wants to be confrontational here, perhaps he should go to his "expert" nitro buddy in OK for all his future FE information. Clearly he knows a lot more about motors than we FE folks do.

Ill make my own esc for 600 dollars and it will power the world.

Hey, maybe you can even use some car stereo components to build it. Engineering student indeed...ya got a lot to learn buckwheat.

Advice to the rest of the group:Don't bother arguing with fools - they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
