Hey what's up everyone. I'm in the process of building a Twin Leopard 4074 2150Kv powered Cat. I'm building it from 1/8" Ply and Balsa. I'll post a few pics of my progress. Seeing that this is my 1st scratch build, I do have a few questions. 1st, I would like to run 4s, but in terms of ESC, can I use the Hobby Wing 120A, or would it be safer to just use the 180A? I would like to use the 3/16" prop shaft and flex cable.. Where can I find these for Counter rotating props? If you need any other Info let me know.. Thanks for you help.

Go with 180. I'm pretty sure ose has the cable. You could go with .150 cable also. That thing is gonna be fasst -
Here are a few more pics of my progress... Things are going a bit slow, but I think it's coming out OK.Comment

OSE or Fightercatracing.com have the cables. you might have to contact steve to get counter rotating ones.
OSE also has a large array of props, both normal and reverse rotation.Comment

OSE does carry left and right flex cables. .150 is the size I went with as well.

Got a quick question for you.. What size connectors should I use.. 5.5mm or 6.5mm?Originally posted by Boaterguy View Post
I'll be using two 4S 5000Mah batteries in parallel.Comment

As far as I know, there's no 6.5mm, just 6mm.Originally posted by mbartley27 View Post
5.5 will be fine. Personally, I use 6mm on everything, and have lots of them, so I'd do 6mm, just to avoid buying new ones.Comment

yeah, I'm upgrading to 8mm, i'll just run that on everything from now, it's easier to have one standard connector and run everything on that, then there are no adapters or problems with anything not fitting together.Comment

5.5mm bullets are plenty for this setup.
Why 2 rudders? Just personal preference?Comment
