          Twin 4082's on 6s with two T180s is alot of weight...........and overkill for 50+ mph. Stock genesis runs 40 on 4s with one 540XL.

          Twin Feigao 540 13L's can get you 50 on 4s..............twin 540 8XL's would be a real hoot.

                  Larry is spot on that the Leopard 3674's are more efficient, run cooler and offer more power, Twin 3674's will get you 60+........................

                          thw CC 1512's you listed in post#1 are the best option. 2600kv on 4s, or the 1800 kv on 5 or 6s

                              1800kv on 6s would be obviously be faster but what about runtime? Also seaking 180's would work right?

                                  The T180's will work but are not needed..............twice the weight and these 120's will handle the 1512's or these Leopard 3660's i found that will be great for 6s.....60+

                                      I'd go with 180s. Esc weight isn't going to slow you down. It's better to have headroom.

                                                      Why not get a swordy 200? It's cheaper plus more amps? What am I missing?

                                                          That is an excellent option, I agreed to the "headroom" comment
