Default RE: Aquacraft Hammer with Brushless 8L motor

Yeah you are right on the cogging. I bought the esc cause it was cheap and it coggs quite a bit at startup. On an 8s motor its really bad. Seems like the larger the motor the less the cogging. Not sure why though.
Ya I am concerned about the prop size. It does seem a bit large for a sub-surface drive. The other one I own is very small though and I know it would work with that one. I may try a couple of short runs and check temps as I go. I will look into the prop you mentioned and see if I can pick one up before my first run. Thanks for the advice.
So do subsurface drives just not work for speed? I agree it should jump out of the water with the prop angle, but will it go fast or am I just wasting my time. I left it the same cause I didnt want to change the shaft.
