55" Segad Gas to FE build...

[Rob DeAngelis]

So here is the plan... Swordfish 240 and Leopard 5698 910kv 10s in series... Here are some picks of it as is now after the reremoval of the 26cc gas engine and muffler.... 003.jpg 006.jpg 004.jpg 002.jpg

Nice. Hopefully you got a deal on that boat. They're about $1,200.00 right? And then stripped to the hull. I like it. Good luck Rob. I have a big stash of parts. Let me know what you need and if I have it I'll shoot it down to you.

Thats a bit to high of a KV motor for 12S.....10S (or even 9S) would be more suitable.

Why do you write that, Doby?

[Doby]

3.7V/Cell
12S=44.4V
RPM= V x KV.......in this case 44.4V x 910Kv = 40,400RPM

Usually 30,000ish Rpm is used as a rule of thumb for racing, 25,000ish for sport running....with 40,000 that set up is in the SAW catagory.

For a quick reference, a "Volt-KV-RPM" Chart can be found at on FC's web site under "Fast Electric Resources."

In addition, the OffShoreElectrics "Speeed Calc." is a pretty awesome resource, too!

Ya I was going to point that out also John - a 730kv 5692 would be a much better choice of motors .

Rob where did you order the hull from .

I bought the boat complete on ebay... 800 shipped... now im selling the gas engine and muffler and tank to fund some of my build... so far I got the 5698 910kv off ose

[Rob DeAngelis]

and why would the 5692 730 be a MUCH better choice?

I can't wait to see how this turns out

More torque and better power for bigger props and I think more efficient.
