Boats don't have any airflow. You need airflow for any motor.

Thanks for the reasurance about the V3.

Fast Electric boats are sealed water/airtight and I make my boats just big enough to fit the gear and flotation in, so even if I fitted a fan for airflow it has such a small volume of air around it that I would just be blowing the same hot air around much like a fan assisted oven, with the combo it sounds like a good deal at about half the price of a proper Neu either the smooth can or the finned version which have drawings and dimensions for on the Neu site, but as castle don't have drawings or measurements its not worth buying one on the off chance that I can find a tube the right size and will either put the project on hold until next season while I save up for a real Neu or Lehner or buy a 6XL which is also in my present budget even though I was disappointed with my 8XL.

So does anyone have a 2650kv castle motor, a pair of callipers and a spare 5 mins? Metric or Imperial are both fine for me.

I'm thinking of a medusa motor now since I cant find the dimensions for the castle motors, and medusa are free with there dimensional information I even have a spare jacket for a 36mm smooth can, how do these compare to the castle motors?
