    60 cm / 23" Catamaran setup

    I' ve got this small 23" catamaran, I need your help for the setup.
    One motor or twin ?

    I think that 3S is fine with 1 x 3300kV or 2 x 3300kV brushless motors, what do you think ?

    I think you have the right idea. 2860 leopard or something like that and I would think a 35mm prop should be good for a single.

            I'm slowly building a 24" twin hull for fun that I received free. Struts need trimming. I too am in the process of figuring out what to power it with. I have mostly 2s and 3s packs, hoping for a quick 2s setup and 3s for some zip-zip runs. Will be paying attention to this one, I enjoy the smaller stuff now a days.

                    Those look like airplane controllers. Not so easy to get them to work with car/boat radio. Better to order esc with water cooling already and they work with surface radio.

                      This ESC is a Turnigy Plush 40A.




                      The only difference is the price, I paid 9€ for 2 pièces :

                        It's also an airplane esc with no water cooling.

                            Since your going to run it in a boat why not get one with water cooling and one that will work with your surface radio.
