BradClaypool I think the 200X esc will be fine as long you don’t over prop. If I’m not mistaken that speedo will cutoff off if the amp surge is to high....in which case you will know it’s not capable. If it has BEC I definitely would not use it and go to a external battery source.
I’m not sure on weight? Although I would say it’s around 15 pounds or heavier running weight. Runtime is is around 5 minutes and we run 5 laps in a race. In FE 1/8 scale hydroplane your limited to a 57mm prop diameter...that helps guys from over propping there boat and burning up Speed Controls
