Motor & ESC options for small tug

[mejt2026Participant @mejt2026]

Hi,

I’m considering building a Mobile Marine Models Damen Stan 1605 tug, OAL 20″, beam 6″.

I have the following to hand:

2 x 555 motors
2 x 40mm 4-blade Kortz-nozzle-type props

and

2 x 385 motors
2 x 35mm 3-blade brass props

Any ideas as to which would be the most suitable combo?

The 40mm Kortz props would be true to scale, but I’m concerned that the 555 / 40mm props might overpower the model.

Kind regards,

John
