Project Genesis!

I would hope that the motor could run at 35k rpms which is what it would turn unloaded on 8s. Comments on the motor on hobby king has people running it on 10-12s in planes. However, i'm not buying into it running over 40k.......its just not a high quality motor.... sort of mid-grade. Make sure you prop it on the low side and use a full water jacket......the long one.

Ah, so volt rating is in part based on Kv (max RPM).

This could be a good cheapie to experiment with and most likely blow up at some point. Doesn't say max watts, so we'll see just how many watts can be squeezed out of it!

I'm guessing using a short water jacket on an XL motor would allow some parts of the windings to overheat while other parts stay within operating range?

Somewhat i guess................ If it was a 5000kv motor it wouldnt have a 6s rating, whereas a 1500 most likely would.

Probably in the 1000 watt range.

1k watts doesn't seem worth while or worth the extra $ for the setup. Was a fun idea though!



Back to the 1521/1.5d setup; I'm thinking that this would make a great setup for the Genesis:
6s2p 60c 10k, T180a, m445/447, possibly x452

I think your esc is only going to handle the 445. And Id imagine even at that, your esc is going to be about at its max in every way possible. Im not saying dont try it, but Id ease into it (prop wise) and see what happens..

Hmm. That was the Castle recommended starting prop. Perhaps I'll start with a 40, 42 then see how it goes from there... Thanks!

On the motor though right? The motor will have no problems swinging a 445 at all.... but your esc may not like it, and certainly wont like anything bigger. You will be pulling more than 180A.

Ah! Got it. I'm guessing the Hydra 180 has a much higher capacity than the Turnigy 180.


I have a Castle MMM that I'm not using. It's a killer car ESC. I wonder if I could adapt it to the boat?

Some conformal coating and a water cooled heat sink? (warranty void I know)

The 1521 1.5d would make it really move out nicely on 6s..............i too would watch the props and personally would never even consider a 452................

Be careful with the Castle..........its only good for about 120a

Hello

i recived yesterday my Genisis.
First i want to test it with the original Hardware before i build it with two motors.
So here my Question
Has anyone a programming manuel for the original esc.
Maybe someone can help me

thanks from germany

@ FighterCat57 : 10S is too much, 6S is good with a 1500kV motor like Feigao 580L 8 turns or 9 turns, if you want to run 8S you will need an expensive HV esc.

May be a twin setup is cheaper, 5S per 540XL/9 motor and 2 Turnigy 120A esc. The problem with twin are stingers they must be long enough, more than 10cm

See Alfa's post.

The MMM? Yeah, I only see it at about 130-140 peak on the tell tale, haven't looked at the specs on it and don't know the constant.



The next question is drives. The 1521 is an 8mm shaft. The current drive is 4mm. Which might not be strong enough for the power of the 1521.

I'm beginning to think that a wire drive might work better. (Jeff, this is your queue)
Any suggestions?

Hello

Thanks for the manual

For building the cat with two Motors i think also about drving 8s Lipos.
Maybe i put in two scorpion Motors .
But the problem is that 8s Lipo is in my opinion to heavy for this cat.
Better is to drive fast to make a light setup
Two Lehners oder tenshocks with 4s lipo for both motors
then i think the cat can reach over 80 mph.Maybe faster
I try
