- RNinMunichFleet AdmiralHi, thanks for the info👍 I'm new to BLs, but learning fast, and your experience confirms my growing suspicions that outrunners not only deliver more torque than inrunners (size for size) but that they are also more reliable and seldom need water cooling.Hi, thanks for the info👍 I'm new to BLs, but learning fast, and your experience confirms my growing suspicions that outrunners not only deliver more torque than inrunners (size for size) but that they are also more reliable and seldom need water cooling. Your new motor seems to be a larger diameter 58mm?, as opposed to 31mm for the old one, so I begin to wonder if the old ones were simply overloaded by a big prop causing them to draw more and more current and hence cook! 😡😭 Check out this test drive (Italian)of your new type motor!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_dlcLbFehw cheers Doug 😎 PS Caption says that with more than 3/4 throttle the boat becomes unstable! Then it flips 🤔

True the spec says 12.6v and 35A, which theoretically gives 441W. And the power is rated at 220W. This simply indicates to me that the motor scoffs 441W of power (at Max ratings) and spits 220W out again, i.e. ~50% efficiency 🤔 Almost any decent brushed motor will beat that! But with other penalties😉 Cheers Doug 😎

I Googled 'model figures for Model tugboat' and several sites came up. - Hobbies at Revingham, Suffolk was one. Gaupner ( I think) was another.
