This is what most assume, and I assumed it at the start too. What exactly is the point of a 30,000 RPM motor if it has no Torque to turn over a prop. You can actullay get a higher turn motor to turn a Larger prop, giving you more speed than a smaller motor. I also have to agree with taylor, Orion motors are real nice.

That's right, boats are very Dependant on torque. I learned that the hard way, after a melt down. Smoke was pouring out of my SW26. I thought it was on fire. It had completely melted a hole straight through the esc and the battery pack had melted the wrapping. It got so hot it even started to melt the hatch. In case you didn't know, the SW26 is a very light hull and is pretty small it self. I was trying to run a 9T single 540 motor in it. HA, that doesn't work
