    I have a BJ 1500kv motor and it hard to turn over. Is this form the torqe of the motor?

    It sounds like you may need to tweak your ESC or possibly your LIPO batteries don't have a high enough "C" rating.
    Go Brushless or GO HOME

      Turn over? By hand you mean? It should have a "cogging" feeling to it when turned by hand. It should not spin freely at all.

                I also have a BJ-26 It "cogs" while turning by hand I would base it on how it runs. Is the boat stock?

                    Ahhh...that's what you mean...yes what Rumdog said...that's normal. I thought you meant during startup when powered

                      The "cogging" is caused by the strength of your magnets, Very strong magenets are a very good thing.
