    Couldn't be stated much better

    Consider : Power source [battery] comes to a fork in the road. On the right are the components that create forward motion.
    On the left is heat generated from the components. The more power going to the right, proportionately,the more forward motion.
    If too much of the finite power (dictated by the battery) goes to the left, the SETUP needs to be thought out,the way I see it, not the extra-measure cooling . If thinking outside the box takes you down the road to the left, that's fine with me.

      If I did the same thing on every one of my builds, I would no longer have any interest in building.
      Good Point! Not everything you do need be for maximum efficiency, sometimes it can just be for the fun of doing it!!
      The beauty of not knowing anything about FE boats is. . . You don't know when it is wrong, you just know it is fun!

        Also the cooler a wire (and this goes for esc's) the lower the ESR is and greater the efficiency. Two identical setups with one running cooler from better cooling the more efficient it will be.

        And back to the cooling ideas. One I have been kicking around for my next twin cat build is remove a small section of the center of the hull and replace it with an aluminum plate and use this to heatsink the esc's to. There would then be more waterflow over the esc and no tubing or water pickup.

          You could use thishttp://www.mgchemicals.com/products/403a.html just need a way to push the trigger when needed.
