Setting up new boat

[Xcessive Carts]

I just ordered a Hobbyking Princess boat IT IS A 40" Yacht. The included motor is a 1604kv, i need to get the ESC for it. They recommend a 125a ESC. with a 3s 20c Lipo Battery. Looking for recommendations about what ESC to get. I am thinking about this one.
Product ID: ker-seaking-180-v3 Hobby Wing SeaKing 180 from here at Offshore. Any ideas?
This boat isnt a race boat, but will run fairly good. I plan to run this boat at all different speeds, not just flat out wide open. I have a Spartan for that.

The 180a speaking would give u more flexibility if u upgrade motor.

Consider an ESC with reverse. This feature is almost a necessity with a scale type boat. If you want to use Hobby King products, this one fits the bill: http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/s..._125A_ESC.html

If you buy the10 bucks program box can program for reverse on the seak.

I went ahead and ordered the Seaking 180a and the Program card from this site yesterday. Dont want to spend a fortune, but not going to go cheap and burn it up.
