Motor for 32 inch cat

[Dnob09]

Hi,just a quick question,What are peoples thoughts about a 540l 2200kv motor for a 32 inch cat?I'm looking at diff motor options and would like peoples advice,Thanks.

my opinion, an xl would be better. depends on the hull really, what kinda cat?

[Dnob09]

gonna build a godspeed cat for fun,got the hull super cheap,i've got a 31 inch deep vee and blackjack 26,just thought it would be fun to build something else haha

540l is too small for your setup. stick with something like a Leopard 4074 2200kv if you want something in the 100$ price range. What controller are you running?

No go with that motor you selected. Not a good choice, to small for the hull. A lower kv xl motor can work but there are better motor options then the L and xl Feigao's. What are your speed expectations? That would determine which motor will work best for you.

No one bothered to ask what voltage you intend to run - that determines the Kv you need. An "L" sized motor is too small, although depending on your use a Feigao XL may work fine. Too many seem to forget that we used those motors in hulls this size with success if we were looking for sport setups. For max performance a 40mm 4-pole motor would probably work better.

ok so im useing a 2.4 radio,gonna run 4s and just useing it as a sport boat right now to play with so speed around 40 or so is fine .

i also have a tacon 4047 i could use 2150 kv and i have a castle 1515 2400kv if either of those would work on 4s

Cc1515 2200 I use in my 32" apparition perfect on 4s 40-50 mph depending on prop and desired run time

[Dnob09]

i also have a cc1415 2400kv, sorry for the typo above cc 1515 is 2200kv not 2400kv,i run alot of trucks.

Go with the tacon if you got it already

What esc are you running? I just got an apparition (32 inch cat) and looking to beef it up in a similar way. Looking for 45 possibly 50 on 4s with a 125 amp esc. I'm looking at the tacon 4074 2150kv or the tacon 3674 1900kv.

[Dnob09]

I have a cc hydra 120 esc,I was hopeing to use that,Ive run the tacon 4074 in my erevo on 4s and love it but might be pushing it with amps on the hydra ?

Make-a-wake just posted on another thread that he was running 120 amp esc with a 4074 2200kv on a 32 inch pursuit with a x442 prop and it held up. Temps around 125 on the esc... I think the 125 I'm going to use should hang with either motor I'm looking at. I'm leaning more towards the 3674 1900kv tacon now.
