Blu-Thrust Z80-170 Underwater Thruster (24V, Non-ESC)
A larger, higher-output underwater thruster than the Z60 line, using selective resin encapsulation with protective surface coatings that allow direct water contact around the rotor for cooling while protecting internal windings. Features a tool-free snap-on rear cap and IP2X-compliant front weed guard for rapid field maintenance. The 170KV motor variant is optimized for 24V/6S systems and requires an external ESC.
