I am looking for suggestions for a economical esc. My buddy just gave me a like new X-Maxx motor (1600KV) which I believe is very similar to a castle 1717. I know it is overkill but I have a TFL Pursuit with no motor and am considering a 6s setup. I realize this may be a tad low of a KV rating for speed but I think with all the extra torque compared to a 4074 it wil have less rpm drop from theoretical to actual. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to hearing them. I am new to FE boats but not to RC. I am also interested in esc's that can be converted to water cooling, I have done several smaller castle airplane esc conversions with good success.

Thanks all,

Jeff
