I do not see any 150a esc at HK for boats,
Why not just use the T120a with added caps ?
I am running one in my 36"shockwave with no problems and no heat from the setup.

Lenny, how many extra caps did you put on 2? O, yes, were they 1000-35v!

Sorry on this esc I added three 1000uF 35V caps plus it still has the two stock original ones,
When I first did the 36"SW mod my temps on the caps were 180f or more sometimes but all the other temps were warm.
Than when I added the caps to the setup they came down to 110f to 125f sometimes.

That one is 160a constant and 200a burst rated.

The T120a is rated as a constant and has a higher burst rate at 240a.

But like anything you read,
Just because they say it is rated at that, Does not mean it really is that all the time.

i messed up on my my amp rating i meant to say 160 when i checked there man it called it a aquastar . said programmer backordered on site dont know if other programmers would work . looked kinda like the 180amp design by looking at pic but i dont know anything about this stuff im trying to learn without making expensive mistakes.

That thing looks strangely like a Mamba Monster with water cooling.

i am from zanesville below columbus oh (go bucks)

No problem.
I may try pulling it from the 36"SW and testing it in the pursuit setup that I am running now on 4s,5s,6s,
But if I do I will start with a x445 and test it and move back up to the x447/3.

Looks suspiciously like the Turnigy 160 amp sensorless 1/8 scale car esc with a water cooling plate in place of the fan.
Personally I'd spend 10$ less and get the T-120 marine or 30$ more and get the T-180. Worth it IMO to get an esc that is a known quality product that has been well tested and abused in boats.
Remember it's HK, if it goes up in smoke you are SOL. Being said I'd order a Seaking from OSE. Same thing but with service and support.......
