Fightercat Cheetah Twin Build Question

[TRUCKPULL]

I have a thought, thinking out loud (typing). What if I replace the ESC's with Swordfish Pro+ 240? Yes, it be costly $501.28. It would cost less to replace the motors. I understand how the chart is showing the results. Just a thought.

Changing ESC's is not going to lower your AMP draw.

The 180,s should be fine.

Just make sure they are programed correctly.

I did have trouble programing and syncing mine to my radio.
I had my ESC,s wired so that each one saw 4S2P -power (this way the two batteries stay equal, instead of the outside motor pulling the outside battery way down)
I had to disconnect the two black wires between the two ESC,s
Then program them separately and sync them to my radio.
Instead of soldering the two black wires back together, I connected them with a plug.
So now when I want to change the program, I can just unplug them from each other,
The ESC;s will not program correctly if connected in parallel.

If I remember correctly, we run laps. Our classes are a lap race with time.

This is confusing, are you running 6 lap sprints or 4 minute Offshore heats? Is this the class called "P Sprint Cat" in NAMBA District 1?

This is in NAMBA District 1. P Offshore is a 6 minute heat. P cat is a 5/6 lap race. running.

I decided to purchase two new motors verse two new ESC. I bought two TP 4050 2200kv motors. Total amp draw will be sufficient for my ESC's.

Sorry for and confusion.

Nice find on the 4050 - 2200Kv
They are still a "Y" wind -GOOD
and the No-load current is almost 1/2 of the 4070 motor.

Thanks Larry,
I need to share the credit with a friend. My friend Ken is building a Cheetah single. We were exploring our options since the 4070 had to much draw. I went to the TP website since most places were either out of stock or had limited sizes. TP is located in NJ, I was charged sales tax. LOL I ordered three motors. I think RayR has been communicating with Ken on his build. Ken thought this would be a good motor for his single build. I will need to order 5mm collets, the 4070 motors have 8mm shafts. I think this is all starting to come together. LOL Now I need to decide on props. I would like to buy a couple of props to give me a base line in which directions I need to go. Like we all know, everything is double. I will check to see what I have, I think I have a pair two blade 445's.

6 minute Offshore heats? You will run out of battery capacity if you run those motors.

Also, this must be a new class? As of last years results there was no full P-Offshore class in District 1, just P-Limited.

If we have enough to make a class for P Offshore, we will run. No points - all fun. The idea is to see who is the last man standing. When I had my Geico, I would chug in. At the point where I would almost need to be rescued.
The Cheetah boat is becoming popular and to see if interest was high enough to have them run. The class is also open to other styles meeting rules. As of last year there are to P mono classes. There is a 1P and a 2P. I made a suggestion over the 2014 winter for this class, many were interested. Also not to loose interest in the original 1P class as it is a budget build class.
