i am surprised lutach didn't mention this esc, unless he already did

, because i am pretty sure he does or used to have one. Maybe he didn't like it? Well it can handle 14s and i think that is what you said was ideal. If you don't mind the price, 545 dollars

, then it looks like it might be the one for you. This way you won't have to worry about water cooling.

Here is the ESC I am getting: http://www.maytech.cn/eng/proesc.asp?type=6

It is the 200A 10S HV ESC $257 shipped with USB programmer. Several of the fast electric boat guys are saying good things about it. Dual 10 guage power and motor wires. I have some 12V computer fans to try for cooling + I might try the peltier also. The ESC is waterproof so I wouldn't think condensation to be an issue. I don't think there will be much, if any, anyway since the ESC will be warm.

right on. i dont know how you guys manage to find all these brands i have never heard of. must do some good searching on the web. that guy wigdowg on the HBF is using a schulze that has brakes. it was like $550 i think. that is the only esc this size that i have heard has brakes. do either of these controllers have brakes or will you be using mech brakes also Kaz?

btw, just so you know, the integy brakes do work for the front hubs like you showed me in that pic but harder to make work on the rear. they still work but have to use the dremel. i will have to post some pics. i am gonnna have a small piece of aluminum welded on to all of my alum. hubs and then drilled and tapped so that i can mount up the brakes really solid. i just orded a small tap and die kit. i wish i had my own little cnc and welder, etc

No that ESC doesn't have brakes...I will be using Integy.

I'm glad they work. I would rather have them on the rear though. I was thinking that you might be able to "build up" the rear hub with JB Weld to make a better mounting area.
