will a 120 amp seaking handle a 4074 leopard 2150kv on 4s, I plan on this combo in a BBY scat cat with an x440 3 prop? looking for speeds in the upper 40's to low 50's

Go with the Seaking/Turnigy 180. 120 is not enough. Not enough for your buddies Geico either.

a 120 might be ok with 6s and a 1600, but for a couple of extra dollars the 180 is much better.

For the 2150kv on 4s, a 120amp esc is not advised, its just to close or over 120 amps.

I ran my Pursuit with a Leopard 4074 2150kv on 4s with an x442 and a Turnigy 120a ESC for quite a while..............worked for me.

I think the key there is the x442, its not so aggressive. the motor can push a larger prop.

yep, just on the side of conservative but it got me 46 mph and cool temps, my two buddies and i all ran the same setup with a few different props and we were very competitive speedwise. I went to a T180 when i wanted to try an m445 and just left it in.
