atomic 58 inch catamaran motor question

[4343]

hi, can I put a leopard 5692 1000kv inrunner with jacket in this cat?

[4343]

anyone??

Hi.
It runs pretty good with the V700 1100kv Marine Outrunner and a sk 120a esc on 6s,
So it should work great with that motor or a lower kv one.
You may want to beef up the hull some because of the added torque of that motor,
And added weight of the cells to.
What cell where you thinking of running in it ?

hi, will the stalk motor mount fit a leopard 5682 in there? or will I have to get another motor mount?

[4343]

down the road will it go good on 8-10s?

[4343]

I was thinking of an inrunner because I like to have a water jacket. does not look like good cooling on a outrunner? would a tacon bigfoot 60 be ok?

On the motor mount,
I think you will need something better.
Plus the bolt spacing is wider I think,
And the ID of the motor can is a lot bigger to.
Hear a link to some pictures of a members on hear.

I am not sure if he up graded his yet.
He also just did a kos 56" mono to FE but has not got it wet yet.

hi, I think you wont even fit a 56mm motor mount in the arc because of the wider rails on these 56mm motor mounts?? wont fit across, will hit the ply woood?

[lenny]

No,
You may just need a custom mount made.
If the rails are a odd ball size,
No real big deal to have one made to order on hear if need be.
Do you know what the rails ID is ?

[4343]

no I dont. I tried to ask the fellow that you sent me the pics that has the boat but no reply.

[4343]

lenny, can you find out from the guy who has the arc, the id between the ply rails?

[4343]

Lenny, I found from atomik for id of rails, the guy said" I went out and measured that for you and I came up with 75.85mm" should I be able to fit a offshore 56mm $18 motor mount in there, if mount is only 67mm across?

Can't comment on the motor mount but 1000kv is high. I would run something to the tune of 700-750kv on 12s. The boat will really move and you'll have decent temps.

Get a williams racing 3 inch rail mount. it doesnt have the sides like the stock mount.

I too am looking for a motor/esc combo for my new 58" cat (Atomik). Would really appreciate any help from anyone who knows which mount + motor would work in this hull. I like the idea of 10-12s on a 700-750kv. Not racing or anything - just looking for a reliable recreational setup. Thanks in advance!
