mean machine for xmas

For a 4s setup you could go with a Leopard 4074 2200kv motor and a Turnigy/Seaking 180a esc. That should be around your budget.

this is what im thinking.

Good choice Dana! Lol!

[Dangerous_Toys]

That setup should leave you a bit of room to play around with different props.

could someone post a link to these esc's? is turnigy/ seaking the same company?

[Dangerous_Toys]

Same esc, different label

The Mean Machine with UL-1 makes an excellent LSO class boat! We have had them run in our club. Hard combination to beat.,

There ya go. Kintec is in the states, alot faster delivery.

thanks! so im stuck between ol' reliable ul-1 set-up, or seeking leopard. both cost around the same... seeking will run up to 6s though. kintec is fast with delivery cause i think hes in penn, im in mass. either way ose is 20 mins from me too.... decisions decisions

If I ever get my Mean Machine from Areomarine it will a Leo 4082 and a Swordfish 200 amp on 6s..

NoT ALL turnigy boat esc's are hobbywing seaking, just the "Turnigy Marine" series of esc's the "Turnigy Aquastar" series esc's are re-branded Hifei Swordfish esc's. I'm sure a lot of people know that, but if someone would just jump into reading this thread they make think all the hobbycity boat esc's are hobbywing seaking. Just thought I would throw that out there... The 2200kv leopards are beast of motors, I'm sure you will be happy!

I ran a castle 2200 with a t-180 on 4s in a 31-inch cat. It's a monster setup. I ran 2-3600mah 4s packs in parallel with an octura m545 and was getting consistent low 50's on gps. The electronics never ran over 100-degrees!

this is most likely what im going to do.... its like an extra 30 bux over ul-1 set-up.
