Bigford (Mark) runs the 2075 motor in a cat with a 3 blade 38mm and gets 56 with esc temps of 120. The motor maybe okay in the boat on 6s just reduce the prop back to the 640 and see what speed and temps you get. Then we can take a more educated guess as to the right set-up.
    My temps running theleopard 4074 1650kv and raider 150amp esc were 94* on the esc and 86 on the motor with the 645 prop. Oh and we also met you friend Doug (samek)
    I'll consider that. I only have 4 and 6 cell packs, but the 6 cell 5000's weigh a ton. Is that what you are using, or two 3S? I also have the original 1620 kv motor. It's a good kv for 6 cells, but might be weak on high amps. Anyway, I can't get out for a week or so.

                      Cool. Good luck. You're running the Voracity 1650kv motor, right? I've got a spare one of those, maybe I'll switch over to that as well.

                        To bad there the wrong ones!!!
                        I ordered these

                        And received these


                        How do you have two totally different esc with the same name and screw up

                          It looks like the ESC you received could actually be the one's pictured with heat shrink over them, well that, and different colored wire. Possible?

                                Mark,
                                where did you get the ESC's from, also looks like the weekend might be a wash out with rain.
