Can anyone offer the technical specs, or a link to them, for that pink Proboat ESC used in thier PT 109. I can't find any on the sites that sell them.
It looks like it's water cooled in the pictures, but I would like to know the voltage range & max current capabilities.
Best regards.
Paul.

the esc I use is the Proboat "TORNADO50",
4.8v - 12v (4 to 10 cells ni-cd)
50A forward 20A reverse
4.8v BEC supply to Rx.

try westbourne models of the UK.

Sorry guys this is the one I was trying to describe. The blue ones are the ones I have. I was also hoping that it has a better low speed control than the blue ones.

Thanks for the link. But I'm afraid I need reverse too.
I just found some info on the pink Proboat. They are only rated to 9.6v. No good for me as all my scale boats are setup for 14.4v.
Cheers.
Paul.

try Electronize, they run to 24v

downside: you need a seperate 4.8v supply for rx as thy I dont think have a BEC installed like the proboat or mtronics
