hellos, I’m trying to repower my old nitro airboat with brushless motor. I put a surpass hobby 2000 kv brushless motor and 150 amp esc car motor on my 36”x 16” airboat, it weighs 7 lbs. the esc burned up after 8-10 minutes of run time. Was wondering are the car motors not a good choice for the airboats or did I just go with the wrong combo? Also what motor and esc would work well with this set up? Thanks.

Worng combo. You'll need an outrunner brushless motor, the esc should be fine. The only benefits of using a car/truck esc is you'll have reverse on your airboat... im running 1700kv outrunner, w/ an 80a esc runs great but still gets warm especially running it dry. you'll find alot more info in the proper r/c forums, as you've asked all these real airboaters for advice for your r/c model. I just happen to love both!
