ESC for TP4060 1870kv, 6s & 48mm prop in mono hull?

[lt130th]

I've been searching the forums to figure out how many amps I'll need out of an ESC for this build and I've read that with the prop I've chosen...

2-blade, 48 mm (1.890''), 67.2 mm (2.646'') pitch

...the system could draw upwards of 280 amps constant for some durations. This build is just for bashing in a Spartan hull (when it comes apart I'll upgrade). I don't want to starve the setup of amps. I was looking at the Tunigy 180amp ESC's, but now I'm starting to think I need more like a Swordfish or Castle 220/240 and up at bare minimum. Also, I have a pair of Trinity Titanium 3s 50C-90C burst, 5,000mAh hard packs I plan to use. I'd like to run them in series. I'm totally new to RC boating (complete newb). School me.

Don't do it.

That esc will not survive long drawing a constant 280 amps. You will need a much larger esc, or scale back on your motor/ prop choice to reduce the amp draw.

I've got that motor, have not run it yet but I was going to use a SF200 Pro Plus. I do have a pair of the 1400kv 4Y versions in my Cheetah running on the SF200 Pro Pluses and the data log showed a 189 max amp. use and that was after 6 laps WFO.

Definitely need more than a 180A ESC, then. Ok, thank you for the tips. I'm already shopping catamaran hulls to move this powertrain into. I bought a pair of 4082 Leopards & intended to run one in the Spartan, but maybe they'd make for an ok twin setup in a cat. I keep bumping it up & I'm afraid the poor little plastic Spartan will have a lifespan similar to meteorites on entry to Earth atmosphere...
