A friend is looking on a new boat, the specs given to him is the following:

Maritimo Racing Catamaran
KB 45 XL 8
Octura x645
2x polyquest 11,1V 5000mah 25c.
Turnigy sentilon 100 amp.regulator(2-12 cell li-po)

Any idea in what this boat is good for? Was told around 55-60Mph, what do you think?

you diddent by any chanse pay NOK 5000 for that one did you ?

[Eggy]

Hehe, Do we have another norwegian here? hehe. Nope have not bought it yet, but i'm considering it.

Any idea what it is good for?

[video200]

im at work so i dont have the FEcalc handy.
did however try to talk to the one selling it. but he diddent anser mail or sms.
but it is not exspencive when you put he parts together. i am a little worryed about the ESC though. KB45`s are known to pull a few amp`s ( im told. never tryed one my self)

[Eggy]

Ok, have also tried sending him mails but no answer. Any other oppinions about the ESC?

[video200]

lots of options. OSE have LOTS of other ESC`s you can use lol.
find it funny that he dont anser on mail or cellphone though. even tryed to call him diddent anser. so i just let the idea go

OSE discontinued the KB45 motors because of the quality was questionable.
You can read about it here:

I wouldn't put much stock in that motor and video 200 may be right about the ESC being too small.

5000 kroners sounds pretty expensive considering you will need to replace the motor and speed controller.

I think I recognize this boat. I belive it was sold buy a guy not far from me.
I spoke to him on the phone about it. He said it was quite fast, about 90kmh.
It sold right away and I think he got 8000NOK for it.
I can not access my email now but when I do I can send you the contact details for the previous owner. He can probably give you some better info about it.

I have a KB 45 8XL in a 41" mono x445 prop 4s2p 5000mah CC LV240 and it would just see 40mph on a good day on 4s let alone 3s. (had actually...I ran 6s through it this weekend...ever see a motor shaft come loose from the rotor and try to move itself out through the end bell while running ?? )
I ran the KB458XL X445 3S Catamaran combo through fecalc and got this...........
