need some setup help
Hi,
I'm pretty new to rc boating and have a few questions. I was looking at putting a permax 600 7.2v motor into my highwind (ebay) boat. My question is, has anyone had any experience with this motor? Would I need a 50A or 100A marine esc to handle it? The motor says something about a stall of 80A. Also, if I wanted to make this a direct drive, do I need a stuffing tube and some type of coupler to hook up the motor to the shaft? Where can I buy a motor mount to handle a 600 motor? Sorry for all the questions.
Thanks,
Drew
