Motor died immediately on takeoff
I burned out 2 engines due to water ingress: 1 - snow got into the engine in winter and 2 - when the boat capsized. I disassemble all NEW engines and dip them 2-3 times in Plastik-71 radio varnish.You made me laugh: make a video of your engines swimming and running. There was a video on YouTube...

Just Wondering, could I get the 2200 KV version of the recommended motor and still keep the esc. And also is the 2200 KV too strong for the FT Tuter we built?

My son asked that. To clarify, the 1400 won't ship until the end of this month but the 2200 can be here tomorrow. I think that is what he was asking. He plans to buy the recommended ESC.

You don’t want the 2200. Higher kv is like having the same power but geared higher. You need a smaller prop to use a higher kv motor, probably a 6”. Otherwise it will burn out the motor.
Even if you did get an appropriate smaller prop, it’s not a good choice for that plane. You want a big slow prop for good torque to get out of stalls. A 1000kv motor with a 9 or 10 inch prop is best for the Tutor.
Speaking of which, what prop are you using on the 1400?
