your jacket may fit it also but dont quote me on that.

3068kv on 6S for a boat is way too much. It might work in a land based vehicle buy not in a marine application. A 2200kv on 4S is a safe bet. I'm running a 1800kv on 6S and that's redline it to the danger zone a bit honestly. Prop choice is very key as well. I was trying a p225 but on 6S I feel my amp draw if the hammer is down too long will fry something. But I just make burst WOT passes to get a high speed recorded. I'm currently going to be going back to a x642 when I get another raw prop to work. My other got bent.
I'm not trying to knock you or bash on you. Just giving some friendly advise.

BTW, your motor looks like a CC/Neu 1515 1y to me, 2200kv.

agree!

Should be engraved on back of can?
That's why I asked if it was a 2200 at first.

ok well i did some research and i made a mistake my motor is a 3908 mamba do you think the 180a esc will work with the 2's lipo's im only 13, trying to learn

funny you say that tis is where i got my motor from and no markings on it it must be because there pulled from a factory built car.

that is the same 1515 1y 2200kv motor as the green monster just black for traxxas

[Rumdog]

3908 is the model number of the Emaxx brushless. It is a 2200 kv 1515 1y

[26missgeico]

yeah that's what mine is.... but do you guys think the castle creations 240a esc will work in 2's lipos? with my motor?

ok i see yes its a 2200kv motor and it will be fin with 2x 2s batteries and change your prop to a x442 octura these motors rev high so you dont need a big prop to make them quick get the x442 and you will be ok

[JPriami]

I agree with wilsta. And rum

dont see the point in spending $300 on a esc when you can buy wat you had for $80 and it will be fine. you made a mistake on battery choice is the reason you poped your caps on the esc lol

[26missgeico]

well i thought i might be abel to run my 3's lipos with the castle creations 240a esc

so what im hearing is i need to get smaller batteries with a 180a esc correct??

im not sure about that one some one else maybe able to confirm if you can do that but im guessing it will still be still to hot.
if its 80mph you want to see out of this boat its not going to happen im most certain of that.

[26missgeico]
