    What should the temps be when i run it for a minute and what should the overall temperature be when i have ran it for the full battery?

    Or is there a temperature range it should be in between, degrees preferable thanks.

        No more than 140F in my books. This applies for battery/esc/motor. Cooler the better

            Is it better if i have 2 water pick ups, one for the motor and one for the ESC.

            Or should i have just one first going to the ESC then motor?

              Have one fast flowing line. The only reason for 2 is if 1 is not sufficient enough.

                  Or you will just go through the esc and then through the motor

                    Ok i have bought all my hardware and hull and also Lipo batterys, i had gotten the FlightMax ones supposebly they are slightly better, who knows.

                    Now i need my ESC and Motor, i thought i will order it from this sites store although was wanting to know if this sites shopping store does warranty on items as i here that the Feigao 580 motors burn out fairly quickly.

                    Or is this an older myth?

                      I think the Feigao 580 motors are good quality for the money.
                      You will not find any FE site that handles warranty claims better than OSE!

                        The 580 motors are a good motor for the money and put out a good amount of power. But there is a limit to what they will put out. For instance in a recent post talking about a blown 580 motor, It turns out that he was racing against boats with 1527 neu motors. I can say that they will NOT compete with a Neu 1527 motor. Its just out of its league. They are more in line with a 1515 or 1521 in terms of output watts.

                          Hey Steven

                          What NEU motor is suggested for my boat then, its a 37.5" Mono Hull, i will be running a Seaking 180A esc and 2x 22.2v Lipo 5000mah 6s lipos in Parallel.

                          You told me the Neu 1521 in a email but what KV rating do i go for or should i go for a 1527 and what KV do i go for.

                          Also what speeds will i be looking at and what run time?

                                Hey Ryan

                                What does the 1y mean and the 1.5D mean. Im guessing the 1527 is faster then the 1521

                                Is the Feigao 580 8l much faster then the 12l? or do i need the 12l for the size of my boat 37.5"?
