Dealing with nitro's and FEs it is now time to get into more to scale boats...
I currently have a brushed scale Pilot boat which I bought RTR from a friend and I have ordered an Equipage Florida 80 scale wooden speedboat. The boat has a length of 31" and weighs around 6lbs. The manufacturer suggests a Speed 700/9.6V and 6 - 14 cells with a 40A ESC.
I don't feel like getting to brushed motors, and I have one 36-50 2700KV brushless watercooled motor and a 35A ESC and a couple of 11.1V lipos. I can get also a 60A or a 100A ESC if needed but I will have to immobilise one functional boat.
Do you think that I can go brushless straightaway, saving the cost to get the motor/esc have a good performance(not tug-like but not blazing-fast, just a good speed for a scale wooden speedboat) without tearing the boat apart on the first launch...
The hull is this:
