I'm new to the forums but not RC boating. Bought a Genesis with the SSS 3674 2075 kv motor that it comes with. Read a lot of comments about what a bad motor it is so I thought let's see. Here's what I got so far. Stock motor swordfish 220 Esc 3/16 drive offset rudder x443 prop 2 40c zippy 5000 3s in series. 63.5 mph. Not once but many times. I admit the motor gets quite hot. 60c. But it has yet to give up. Not bad for a motor that's got such a bad rap. Just my 2 cents.

What are you doing for cooling? I have the Genesis as well with a Seaking 180A ESC, stock motor, dual offset rudder, larger 4mm ID cooling hoses and X438 prop. I have tried running it with 2 Revolectrix 70C 3S 5500 batteries in series and only get a few passes before it overheats. Thought maybe the batteries were too much for the set up so I tried 2 Revolectrix 30C 3S 5100 batteries series and had the same result. I too have been reading a lot of posts in reference to the Genesis and have not heard too much bad about the motor only that it is probably a high KV for 6S. I have been looking into buying a new motor with a lower KV like the Leopard 1800. -
Hi there. First 2 rudders causes drag. Loose the left rudder. I use the stock cooling hose. Your battery is fine but I place the front of batteries level with rear motor mount screws or even 1/2" further back. Strut as high as it can go and dead level. Try a 442 prop. Never run boat on calm water it's too sticky. I go out on breezy days and a slight chop on the water. Hull needs to lift out of water to be fast. A 4074 or 4082 1800 kv would be ideal I think. I have tried a 4082 1500 kv but a 1800 is probably the better choiceComment

I meant to say Dual pick up Rudder. It's a single rudder from BoatBitz with two pick ups (Actually has 4 ports on rudder that feed two separate hoses)Originally posted by Maximus View Post
I may end up going with the 1600Kv because if my math is correct, and there is a good chance its not, then running 6S the 1600kv would turn 35,520 rpms. The 1800 would be roughly 39,960 rpms.Originally posted by Maximus View Post
How did yours run on the 1500kv?
I also think I may be running it a bit wet which would certainly increase the heat so I will try your battery set up and see how it worx.Last edited by Smitty1035; 07-22-2015, 07:47 PM.Comment
