stock motor with a 120a esc?

[Pedro Ramos]

Ive seen on another forum 1800v stock motor with a seaking 120a 6s setup, any opinions on this?
I have a ton of 3s lipos and I will like to use them instead of buying 2s lipo packs.
Thanks for any input!

I've heard some people being successful in doing this...however, with my own eyes I observed a motley crew with a seaking 180 and 1800kv aqua craft motor on 6s last about 1 minute and the motor smoked. I don't recommend over 5s on this motor. Now say you had a castle 1512 1800kv motor, it'll last all day long. (I have one and I know this for fact). Overkill of a motor yes but my point is the stock Aqua craft motor isn't built to hold up to 6s like a higher quality motor of the same kv is.

i agree with you, but it is 2 tempting not to try it out lol
