motor suggestions

[camarohrod]

i have a 40" genesis cat, 200a swordfish esc, 435 prop, what motor would yall suggest for some decent speed(50ish mph), i can change the prop if needed just want to get a better motor than the stock 2075 that came with the boat.

Hey camarohrod,
I don't know what size motor you need, or feel qualified enough to suggest one. However, this site has a pretty useful tool- the Speed Calc. ( http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/conversion.htm ). Also, there are charts on fighterecat's website, if you join, under resources.

What kind of price range are you hoping for and what do you have for batteries.

i have 4s 5000mah 45c zippys, i was thinkin about upgrading to 6s also

[camarohrod]

id like to get one that will fit into my motor mounts, im not sure the size of my motor now but here is a pic, and i was lookin to spend around 90ish if that will get me a good motor.

Are you sure the prop you have is a 435? As in an Octura X435? Maybe since I dont know some other numerical designation its not what I think. But a 40" hull using a 35mm prop? I'm thinking your off by quite a bit. Another question. Is that a 36mm motor? And is the kv 2075? 4S is not too bad. 6S? Oooch. 6S on a 2075 kv motor even with a small prop. 35mm will not get you 50mph.

That is a stock Genesis 36/74 2075kv motor.I agree with John,if that is a x435 octura,that prop is definetly to small for the Genesis

I think I've seen guys using leopard 4082 motors with success in those

How about $88ish?

4 pole, much higher efficiency, and will fit right into your stock mount. The 1900 or 2200kv are what you need for 4s and the 1400kv for 6s

Thats the set-up i have.4082/2200kv leo and a 200 amp swordfish.I will be running two 4s 45-90c 5000mah in parallel.I will be using an Octura 442 for starters.I haven't taken this boat on its maiden yet,so i have no idea of speed or temps.I have too many projects going on!!

[camarohrod]

what prop do yall suggest if that 435 is too small with that 4082/2200 kv motor?

m445

i wana upgrade basically all the electronics in my boat, i have ordered a 200a esc and i can change my prop no problem just wana know what i need to go with. im new to boats so i have no clue about all this stuff yet, i have loved the water and live on a river plenty big enough to play on so i want a good setup and my neighbor is about to get into this also. what do you think i will get out of the stock motor with that 200a esc and that prop? will it hurt the esc if i run it like that for a little while or do i need to go ahead and order a motor and prop? the prop says TFL 435 it so im guessing thats the size of it.

Make a Wake, do you have any idea of the speeds that could be reached with that set-up with the prop you suggested?

[Make-a-Wake]

Which setup? He asked for a motor that would fit right into his mount so I posted the 3674 Leopard..........but now folks are talking 4082's................the 4082 on 4s with an m445 will see 50+ mph...........
