"Are you going to run the stock gearboxes in the villian? That will give you some sort of gearing options. Water cooling is great, works way better than air cooling. You may want to figure some sort of water cooling for the escs too. Having them in a sealed enviorment can cause issues if you try air cooling, I have not had much success with that myself. If you look around on OSE they have some good tech articles.

I definately want to see some pics of this boat! I need to work on my few boats and get them ready for the early fall season. Best time to play as it is a bit cooler than summer!"

Yes on the gearboxes. I'm thinking of using a pair of 19 tooth pinions to start.

I've been thinking about water cooling for the ESC's. I have one of the Mystery 80 amp versions in front of me here. I've always wondered why they would completely enclose a heat sink inside shrink? LOL

Anyways, I need a Copper cooling block that water circulates through. Unwrap two of these ESC's, then "sandwich" the cooling block between them using heat sink compound between the block and the Fet's of each. Then the two ESC's can be heat shrank again to hold the entire thing together.

I'm hoping this will provide a nice compact answer to dual water cooled ESC's.

I have a pair of Mamba Max ESC's that I could use, but I see no way to water cool them without really messing them up. They are just too good in the Monster Truck realm to do that to them.
