I would try a leopard 4070, 2200Kv on 4s lipo with a 42mm prop and run a 200amp esc.which im doing at the right price

Mine has a Medusa 3680-1600V2SE,will run on 5S lipo..and occasionally on 6S.Etti 150 Esc with extra cap. bank.

Thanks

The Leopard motors are from Astec models and hes got the cooling jackets aswell and also the motor mount for motors aswell
as for esc i can get you the esc at the right money

Hi,

Ive spoken to the guy at astec models, he says that a 5xl motor is the one to go for and thats approximately £50. Which speed controller would i need for this?

Go for the BEST one you can afford  As amps go what will hold a a lot will hold a little.

Hi John,

As you have helped me in the past, please may i ask what motor you have in yours?

aLso, what ampage esc are you running?

Cheers

Its out of the box  A.R.T.R  from Astec 2770kv motor Suppo 125amp E.S.C  35mm metal prop running on 4s 3000mah. I had to put 1.5 kilos of lead in to calm it down a bit As it kept taking  off !

[Ben Tickle]

I think what i will do is first save then buy a motor from as tec and everything to mount it and cooling system and then i will buy a cheap esc from eith giant cod or f1 madness!

Just make sure you program the E.S.C for the cell numbers/type , timing ect/ Or it might well all end in tears Oh & DON'T over prop !

[Ben Tickle]

Hi John,

My boat has a metal prop on it! I think its an octura 1 and it measures 3cm from one blade to the other. And regarding esc's i was going to either get a giant cod 200amp or one of f1 madness.

Thanks

Hi,

The only possible problem may be that the esc is not programmable but can accept lipo batterys from 1-7 cells?

Thanks

My E.S.C can be programmed  From 4s - 8s. Ran it this morning & it's MORE than fast enough on 4s

Hi,

i think if it can have 1-7 cells then it should be fine, cayse i dont want lipos sitting around that are not suitable for my boat:D
