Quick Summary
This underwater thruster for RC tugs, submarines and ship models uses a 380KV brushless motor rated at 312W. It has a clockwise (CW) propeller and is specified for 12-24V operation.
Key Details
| Detail | Product information and buyer relevance |
|---|---|
| Motor | 380KV brushless motor with a stated 312W power rating. |
| Voltage | 12-24V. Check that the planned power setup matches this range. |
| Propeller rotation | CW, meaning clockwise. Confirm this direction suits the model’s configuration. |
| Materials | The shaft and key components are described as 304 stainless steel, the housing as aluminum alloy, and the structure as a PC and PLA composite. |
| Size and weight | 2.95 x 2.44 in and 0.35 lb. Compare the stated size with the available space in the model hull. |
| Mounting and wires | Pre-drilled mounting holes and color-coded wires measuring 9.84 in are specified. |
| Controller requirement | Requires an external 40A brushless ESC, which is not included. Do not connect the thruster directly to a battery. |
| Water-use limit | Specified for freshwater use and not for extended periods of submersion. |
What to Compare Before Buying
- Electrical setup: Check the model’s supply voltage against the 12-24V range and plan for the required external 40A brushless ESC.
- Rotation and fit: Confirm CW rotation suits the model, and compare the stated dimensions, mounting holes and 9.84 in wire length with the installation space and connection plan.
- Water conditions: The stated use is freshwater, with no extended submersion. Do not assume suitability for other water conditions or prolonged immersion.
Setup and Correct Use
Allow for a separate 40A brushless ESC in the setup; it is not included. The source instructions say not to connect the thruster directly to a battery. Check the mounting and wire arrangement against the model before installation.
Safe Use and Important Precautions
Use is specified for freshwater only, and the thruster should not be submerged for extended periods. Follow the applicable instructions for the thruster and ESC when setting up and operating them.
Before You Decide
Confirm the voltage, CW rotation, fit within the hull and availability of the required 40A brushless ESC. Also consider the freshwater-use and submersion limits.
