Blu-Thrust Z60 Underwater Thruster (Non-ESC, ~500KV)
A compact, direct-drive underwater thruster built around a fully resin-encapsulated, sealed brushless outrunner motor (~500KV). It requires an external ESC connected via three motor phase wires and includes a removable duct/weed-guard assembly for easy propeller access and maintenance. Designed for space-constrained vehicle integration on small ROVs and diver propulsion vehicles.
