Well heck , lets just open up a can-o-worms here... Can somebody who knows brushless motors and ECS entertain me with what would be a good choice in "brushless motors/esc's" for my Mutsu? I am changing her over to LiFePo4's from the older SLA's. She currently uses two 550 cans for the drive and one for the pump. Both drive motors work on gear boxes. I might as well change over to Brushless at this time. I just do not want to buy something that will not work. I plan on using the same 6v system throughout the ship. My battery will be two LiFePo4 prismatic 3.2v 20AH batteries in serial. My batteries... www.batteryspace.com/LiFePO4-Prisma...64-wh.aspx
I'm interested in the, too. What happens to a brushless motor when it gets flooded? Does it act the same as the older models?
I think Mike Mangus covers this topic very well under Propulsion http://www.rcnavalcombat.com/Forum/...fault.aspx.
