    I would like to build a Hot Pump for my ship. I am going to be running 11.1v. I currently have a stock BC pump with 550 motor. looking for recommendation for a high output motor ?

    Johnny gave you 6v motors, the Johnson 600 that came with the pump might be OK at 11.1v, I burned through one pretty quickly at 13v. You are better off with a Mabuchi rs-550, rated to 16k or 19k rpm no load, they can handle the voltage. Cheapest on eBay but they take a bit, can get faster on amazon but you pay a few more bucks per motor. I second Johnny’s comment about the outlet, it will have a much larger impact on pump output. What batteries are you planning to use? They need to be able to support the current + drive

    A hpi 14.4 v will do the trick on 10v so 11v might be ok

    I looked at the HPI 14.4 I found no specs. I would like to know the turns on the motor

    gluglugs are apparently legal. they're made by sleeving the outlet with a larger diameter tube of length. Check Kevin's recent build threads, I believe there are some examples in there.
