i have narrowed my choice of motor down to two...the leopard 4074 2200kv or the keda 4074 2364kv. which one is the best choice for my 24 in. rigger? boat should be just a hair over 3lbs. thanks for all the help.

What is the height and width of your tub?? The gear you guys are talking about would probably be more suited to a 30+ inch rigger.Mike Chirillo

I also think a 4074 motor is to much for a 24" rigger.Comment

Wow I was thinking about converting my 24" JAE 12 to electric, was planning 2s and a 28 mm diameter motor. I'm having an interesting time trying to get stuff laid out while getting the CG right, How are you doing it with you're rigger?
IMO that's about twice the motor you need for a rigger that small. The 4s may also not be a good idea depending on the size of the cells you can fit in there. be very short runtimes, also need to be sure what packs you choose can supply the current a 4074 will draw.
Most people running motors of that size are running two 4s2p 8 - 10000mah setups.
The JAE 21 rigger is quite a bit bigger than yours and is very fast on spec 36mm motors, and is able to utilize a single 5000mah pack.
Not saying bit can't be done if the boat was designed for it from the start, but most riggers of that size are running 2s setups.If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

Well if you ever build a similar set up William, post some pics and let us know how it turns out.Mike Chirillo

those SS's are paperweights at best, blew three of them drawing 150A or so for a 45 second runOriginally posted by wilsta67 View PostComment

The tub is 2 1/2 tall, 3 1/2 wide,and 24 long. ...sponsons are 1 3/4 wide by 10 1/2 long.......there are two rear sponsons that are 3/4 high by 3 in. long
maybe this will help. i want this to run in the 55 to 60 range

Ive got a 17" JAE mini sprint that runs mid 50s mph with a $12 450 outrunner motor on 3s, A 540 size motor on 4s in a 20" boat should get you 55-60 quite easily.Comment

I just set a Castle 1512 in my 24" rigger and a pair of 2s packs to simulate a 4s pack and well good luck with that! And the 4074 is a much bigger motor.
Pretty much taking a sledge hammer to a finishing nail here. A UL-1 motor would over power that size a rigger and do it with a 60$ esc! Give you good 4+ minute runs with a 5000mah 35c pack. Thats actually exactly what you're supposed to run in a JAE21fe and it'll easily do 55.
All this is assuming the design of the boat is actually capable of handling even spec power, what plans did you use? Some of the older designs are not the best with modern lipo batteries and brushless motors. They usually need a few changes to the angles in the sponsons.If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?Comment
