OK, So this weekend I got out my Predator outrigger to the pond. This thing is wicked! My fun was cut short though with a completely fried/destroyed ESC. I had never seen anything like this. The solder literally melted and capacitors just fell to the bottom of the boat. I had a 40 amp ESC with no cooling at all which proved destructive. Actually my boat almost caught fire. The bottom and top of the hatch burned. Here's a frame from one of the video I took of the Predator coming out the hole.
I only used a 3000KV BL motor. The battery is a Turnigy 2200 Mah 45-90C 3S. I do already have a new water cooled ESC, it is a 60 amp ESC. This should do the trick.
