    Esc, Motor Suggestions

    I'm building a retreval craft that is going to be very light weight. I would like to go with a brushed system in it, like a crawler motor setup. I suppose I could use a brushless system too. I want torque not speed but I dont want the system to fry either since it probably wont be watercooled, just aircooled. Any suggestions would be helpful in my purchase for a good combo. Thanks in advance!

    Try gearing down. Then you can get away with more

        either motor you should be fine with the right prop
        and I assume 2s
        and as you already know, don't over prop it and things will stay cool

          Yeah I'll be going 2s and was going with a 40mm prop or smaller. Should work I think.

                It should have enough torque to push a scale boat dont you think?

                    Use a 55 turn motor.
                    There is no replacement for displacement, I guess I just have to Buzz it higher!

                      The easiest and cheapest route is to use an outrunner. The club has a retrieval craft using an HK 4240 outrunner with a Kv around 800. On 2S it spins a 55mm prop easily with low amp draw and moves the craft very well. No need for gears, just more to break.

                        Was that before the mod to the 4240 800kv outrunner ?
