Hey, i am currently waiting for my account to be approved on an rc boat website, but have question about what size ESC i need for my new 1800kv brushless motor.
I am putting it in my 24" miss geico.
Any anwsers would be much appreciated.

All based on motor specs and number of cells.
Im running a 5 cells on a stock mystic motor with
A 120amp castle ESC. Ive had great results with castle
Only esc i use. On a 24 you should be fine on 4 cells and 60amp
Esc. The short boats dont like tons of torq.

The 24 is lite so you should be fine.
Most motors that size are rated 50amps continues.
Dont over prop it,. Use gold bullet conectors. solder everything.
Stay at 3 or 4 cell lipo.

Dago.
