Genesis Cat with 4074 leopard motor

[video200]

i think most of the reason why people dont use 5s is that it would give you 42 000 rpm with a fresh battery on a 2000kv motor

[iamandrew]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
so I should just stick with the 4S 2P and the 2200kv instead?

My watercooling setup seemed to work pretty well last time I took the boat out, Ill rebuild the boat and take some pics

[video200]

i wouldent go more then 4s on 2000\2200 but thats just me.

im happy with the speed i get from the 2000kv. orderd some new M series prop for it so with a little luck i should be able to breake 60 mph (so far max speed been 56,8)

[iamandrew]

yeah its just id prefer to keep the 4S batteries that ive allready got, they also seem to be very useful for other RC things
I got almost 10 minutes of run time out of the batteries with the stock motor, but it needs to go!

well if you look at the vid i posted of mine. that vid is 8 minutes and changes.
uses more when i can do WOT all the time but still last a good 5-7 minutes

Is 5S not used by many people? or is the reason people dont use 5S is because theyr run 2 3S packs in series?

I run 5s all the time and so do a bunch of other people. 2000kv is bit much on 5s that's all. You gotta run the voltage that's appropriate for your any given setup.

Reason I say no to 5s is not because of heat issue, but rpm issue. To high rpm lots of wear on motor/drive compoents and to much rpm can make the prop inefficient and carries to high of a load on a single drive. Higher rpm is ok on a twin setup because the work load is shared. On a single motor 26-32k for target range, depending on what type of setup im looking for.. That's just me...

I will be placing my Genesis on order after Christmas- waiting on my HK gift card.

HK did it again. Im looking at the $303 price tag like man I cant afford it. Click on buy and it goes into my cart at $192... Hell Ive seen people asking almost that for the hulls!

Would the Castle 1717 1580 kV be overkill or would it work well?

How about the 1512 1800 kV.

I dont have an ESC or batts yet, so Im open to ideal setup.

1717 would work (big that's for sure), would be a rocket.. The 1512 is too small. I'm still a fan of the leopard 4082s in the genesis. JMO

Sounds good boss.

I think im down for it.

The motor pictured is a 4074 2200kv, I was just showing you how I did it. As far as the 4082 I suggested that motor for another member here for his genesis and he posted great results. Looks like a CF48 maybe, here's his vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJckfHpAHZo

Man that boat looks good LOL

Going to try 2 4082 in a CF Genesis hull from FighterCat!!!!

I changed out my 4082 for a 1717 air version with the T-180 on 6s, with a x645 prop and it toke flight around 68mph.

Soon as the dang lake unthaws....... Winter SUCKS!! My neighboor's and i throw bubblers in the water around our docks so the water doesn't freez and srew them up. It leaves about a strech of unfrozen water abot 10' wide and around 200' feet long before you get to the bend, but i dont have the ballz to try it out with a boat in the 65+mph range, may not get stopped and whoops there goes the drive.LOL

Nice...

My 1717 car motor is on the way.

Going to order the Genesis after Christmas.

I also have a 4074 2000 kV Leopard sitting here. I think my 25" Prince mono wants to play with it!
