    The NEW Proboat motor and ESC?

    Interesting stuff on the Dynamite RC site. New marine motors and 120A ESC with 5.5mm motor bullets and EC5 connectors.

    Holy crap.150.00us for a 120a esc,A bit spendy if u ask me. A hobbywing 120 can be had for less than half that and they are great.

        since the motor is available in a rtr , would that not
        be covered under the spec rule now ?

            No pic of esc, guessing it's a water cooled car esc. Seems to be the trend. Is the motor a re branded castle or leo.?

              Motor is neither since it is 6 poles but, may come from a Castle or Leo factory. Speculation at this time. ESC is most likely a HobbyWing Seaking type since the Black Jack 24 uses a Seaking 30 amp esc., again speculation or extrapolation on my part from what I've seen so far...

                All of the P-LTD motors are 6-Pole motors... The new 2000-KV is as well... AND, it's a TRUE 2000KV... not 1865-1875 that the "2030" AQ is, so you have to TREAT it like it's a 2000KV motor. It doesn't like the same props as the AQ, is what I'm trying to say here.


                The ESC is very similar to the Dynamite Buggy ESCs, as shown here, but with water cooling and I believe at least a 6S capability. Very smooth, big wires, programmable, water-"proof", etc... Hopefully they will get a picture of the real thing up soon, but this Buggy ESC at least gives you an idea of the form-factor for this new ESC.

                  Unless you guys have seen Pro Boat announce something in the past 20-minutes, I don't think this motor actually comes in anything yet.

                  I suspect that it will...

                        .
                        It's NOT a bigger motor... it's a standard 36-56 sized motor, same as the current PB and AQ P-LTD motors...

                        As for the rest of it... we'll just have so wait and see...

                          Just keep in mind that all that additional "stout-ness" comes at a weight penalty... especially in a RTR (re: Low-Cost Chinese Fiberglass layup)...
