Default RE: New To The Boating World

I agree with you. I just don't want to break the bank over something RTR when I could build something for the same price and might be better. So far I'm really considering the Catamaran style of hull. The Segad C1 is what I really want. But Im sure that you can make one better or just as good for less. I am trying to price everything down. I found a body off the offshore websites. Figured its the place to start checking since its well announced by others. As for the ESC, Motor, & Servo I don't know where to go for that. I check it all on the website and there are great options. But does the hull have any play with the motor selections. I do want to go with the brushless system for the power as ya'll said before. The Segad C1 comes with2 V380 Marine Outrunner 2700KV. If I buy one RTR or build I want it to have two motors so Ican upgrade.I didn't know that there were so many decisions for motors alone. Nothing like the Car/Truck setups lol. What is the difference between brushless & outrunner? I have looked at the cooling systems and that is something Ican totally understand. Same concept to a real boat (ex navy). But as for everything in my head its just a motor>shaft>prop. Doesn't look to complicated but, can't get a hold of a diagram of the Segad. Any insight?
