The Scorpion motors are high quality but like all outrunners are a challenge to cool. Watercooling can only be done (practically) on the mounting plate so watercooling efficiency is not the best. That said, if run on an outboard without a cover the resulting air and splash cooling should work fine. Scorpion uses very high quality magnets and wire, so they can take higher motor temperatures than an inrunner. They are also much easier to dry out after getting wet (and they will get soaked) than an inrunner, a factor to consider for motor longevity.
SSS motors are built to a lower price point than the others and perform accordingly.
TP motors are no different than any other motor, the higher the load the more amps they draw. TP have a higher efficiency than the SSS motors (meaning they turn more battery energy into motion rather than into heat) so will run cooler under the same load. This “amp hog” power hungry nonsense is based on folks putting huge props on motors - because they can - then complaining that they draw too many amps.
The TP has a higher amp rating than the other two, 200 continuous versus 150 for the others. But that is still a lot of power and will give longer run times. Note that the amp rating is not the maximum amps the motor will draw but rather the maximum the manufacturer recommends for good motor life. Put on too much prop and you’ll fry motor, ESC and possibly the batteries.
