Now that's a good one! lol
yes it has a total of 4 caps (I think)... Also came with an extra wire to setup for series! I wonder if this works with the program card, at least after you get the funky connector... Now for an ESC with 1,080 Burst it is surprising that there are 4 caps and one water flow... A Castle Cap pack will be on mine along with a BEC. I have a program card but still need the funky cable. I am getting ready to out on the real boat to go look at Kemah Fireworks in a few hours... What a pain to get out there with a bunch of wackos! If it was somewhat daylight I could bring some toy boats! lol
Back to the ESC, here are come wires from a US seller: EBAY
As soon as I get some $ I will send my stuff to kfxgfuy so I can get my Rivercat in the water! Very excited!!!! Somehow I decided to have an entire boat built around a ESC... lol
Why are you bothering me? I want to see your boat!

The great thing about the SeaKing 180 V3 is that you program it with the programming pins on the outside of it. This is great for those of us who use balloons or other waterproofing methods for our receivers that are a pain to put on and take off, this programming options allows for you to never have to mess with the receiver once placed and settled in the boat. It works well too, I bought a 6 inch long male to male plug , plugged one side in the program box and the other side to the ESC and Wallaaaaaa, easy as 1 , 2, 3. I know this esc has a great reputation to live up to and is young in it's existence but I must say fellas, for the money, what I see is exciting and it seems to perform just as well if not better then the last one. It's smaller more compact too so it doesn't take up as much space in your boat. They seemed to put a lot of thought into this new version and I appreciate that! Only time will tell if it can stand up to the punishment and rigger of the boating world but it definitely is earning it's respect. Here's a picture of how it looks when programming.

Well I emailed on the hopes of a stronger ESC....
EDIT:
Ok, folks! I have passed this thread (along with another) to the North American Hobbywing team. If you would like to get an ESC this is where I get mine, my guy on that team does seem to like the idea of 240amp-ish ESC.

One question, will it be possible to remove the heatsink and replace it with a better (custom?) one? Or is it all sealed together? I take it that the old 180 program card works fine on these.

The guy in the post above you is sending me his esc and I'll look at it a see if a custom higher capacity cooling block can be made. From what he tell me by looking at it, it seems possible. I just finished a very nice one for one of my v2 seaking 180's

New SeaKing 180V3 Testing Video Coming in the next couple days!!!
now is this version really waterproof? Or is it version 2 waterproof, which isnt waterproof really??
Will this esc work completely submerged?
Not sure yet. Haven't had a chance to dunk mine! lol. About another 2 weeks and I may get to use mine. It will be in kfxguy's hands for a little bit.

Well, Drag racing mine was submerged when another racer got out of his line a little and crashed into the boat in the video used for testing, took on water. Threw it in another boat less than a day later... Performed Flawlessly!!! Here's the new video link..... I changed the link at the top of the thread to reflect this one as well as the old video has been deleted!

I have a V2 that needs to be replaced. Will it work with the V2 I have on my bout currently?

That "bulge" you commented on are additional inline capacitors. I have one of these, can't wait to try it out. I kinda Love/hate this new concept they have of a separate male connector on the esc itself to do your programing. The thing I love of course is it is separate than the connector to your receiver, the thing I do not like is you need s female/female plug to use the programmer now with the esc. Not a big deal, but just "different". I had to butcher some old wires to make a female to female adapter in the shop last week to program it.
Bring on the 240v version. It is much needed in the current expensive or issue-filled market. I'll buy 10!

A different option and not a copy or rebranded.

FYI for those of you that have "dead" ECSs laying around just cut off the receiver lead from 2 of them and solder the wires together and use that for your programing box lead. Ran one of these in my P-Limited Pursuit that had a v2 in it before and saw no difference between the two. Configuration as far as cooling is concerned and the size is smaller on v3.Looking forward to seeing if there is any difference in performance in race conditions.
I would like to see them incorporate data logging on these, just saying...
Caution: Does not play well with others!
Nope.
They don't have plans to make a bigger esc neither data log.
But who knows what the future wil bring......
So that will run 2 motors for about $225.00 USD. I wonder how they hold up to big power that 79c-140c lipos will dump?

Lipos aren't dumping power. The loaded motor is drawing power from them.
he doesn't understand that yet rum. not sure he ever will....
There's a hole at the center of earth where the rest of the world sinks but i stand still...
OHMS law? Or the fact that the motor draws power from the battery using a speed control? Please help me here! Your so smart. If the motor draws motor than what the esc can handle then it won't let the lipos dump what the demands of the motor are capable of kind of like eating soft ice cream through a straw.

So, you agree that your previous question made no sense, right?
