Yea i don't want to get a neu becuse they are too expensive for me and i'll prolly wind up scrapping everything out of the boat to build something else like i always do when i'm bored. I was thinking of the 3 KD36s on one outdive on 6s each. That way i can choose if i want it to have 1, 2, or 3 motors depending if i wanna go fast or slow with a long run time.(If i just want to just putt around or fake a SAW race) And use 6s2p 30c 5000mah lipos and have about 80-90 amps going to each motor. Prolly the 3000kv KD36L on 6s or 5s just because i already have one. And i want to keep in 6s or under because the escs are cheeper that way. So that would be around 5300 watts, and 6660 watts if i want to push it at all with 100 amps per motor. Pretty close to 9hp for 170bucks (2 motors cuz i have one and 3 cheap escs plus shipping).
That is about the most power for the money i can think up in my head at the time. That is kinda dream land stuff tho..

I thought about two 700kv KB45s a while back on 9s but i don't want to pay more for the high volt esc's when i am gonna wind up puting them in smaller boats down the road probobly. I have never had problems with too much heat very much on the KBs but they do like a lot of amps!! But two 1200kv KBXLs on 6s might be good? i have one of those too... hmmmm....

I wish i could afford one of the 11kw lehners and forget about it!!! anyone wanna buy me one? hehe
