    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.

                        Hey Jay,
                        In that picture I see a brushed inrunner on it,
                        Was that before the mod to the 4240 800kv outrunner ?
