37" Genesis Build

decisions decisions, its half the fun of boating!!

So it's either,

2x Leopard Replica 4074 2000k ($47ea), 2x Seaking 180, 2x 5s 5000mah 45-90c lipos

Or

2x Saker 3674 1983kv ($33.18ea), 2x seaking 180, 2x 5s 5000mah 45-90c lipos

If the weight difference is minimal Id go the 4074, it can turn a bigger prop and would be my pick of the 2.

[TristanJones]

with cooling jackets fitted will they even fit though

Outside diameter for a 40XX water jacket is 48mm and 45mm for a 36XX motor

PS: IMHO two 2000kV motors is a maximum to be quiet.

My leopard 4082 2200kv turned up today :) (thanks OSE!!). I've just finished building in extra strength in the tunnel and engine mount in mine, also fitted up 2 through hull water pick ups. Reinstalling the stuffing tube tomorrow with brass liner instead of Teflon, then I got 2 days to sharpen and balance my 2 new octura props, put it all back together and hopefully crack that 100kmh barrier by the weekend.

Just measure the inside of the sponsons and looks like anything over 50mm won't fit, but even 50 is pushing it. If the Leopard Replica 2000kv is 40mm in diameter, and with a OSE water jacket I will be at 49mm which is really pushing it. Hopefully it will fit!

By the way, how big of a prop are you guys talking? 45mm, 50mm?

I also made my own mounts. See the last picture. Also, the hardware should be coming to my doorstep soon.. so I'm waiting on that!

Just wandering if you have taken this motor in to consideration.. a little more expensive than the 4074B but comes with water jacket and is also a leopard copy, 39x74mm instead of 40x74mm. rated to 5s, 2200kv, Im going to try run 60mph on one this week if it shows up in time.

Unless there is something Im missing these look to be a great option and are my pick of the cheap chinese motors for boat. I will post results and video when it turns up if you like.
I have just picked up a x642 and m445 Octura props to run with a 40mm motor, every twin motor genesis I have seen on youtube claims to be running either of those and getting pretty wild speeds!!
2 of those aquastar motors in a genesis on 5s with a x642 prop would be stupidly overpowered Id think. Thats 2400w total rated power, Im not sure what the stock motor is rated at but Id be willing to bet its less than the 3974 aquastar motor and in stock guise mine goes 49.7mph.
Cheers.

Go with a set of good 4 poles 3674.

And what about outrunner motors? A set of Scorpion 3226 1900kV? Hé Hé Hé

Viper 5018 is a great motor http://www.viper-rc.com/vsh.html

ALIGN 500MX is good, too

A very good and cheap KEDA MODEL outrunner:

Did you make a template of that engine mount by chance?

[dddmx3]

.....I will post results and video when it turns up if you like.......Cheers.

Yes please!!

Outrunner

Man.. So much advice! Haha I don't even know what to choose anymore. Anybody have any motors to recommend with the videos along with it so that I can see how your setups run?

Did you make a template of that engine mount by chance?

Well I first made a cardboard engine mount then traced it onto some aluminum and made the mounts out of that so not really?

[TristanJones]

Ok I havent shot any video yet cause I still need to dial the boat in to the new set up. I will say that on 5s the 3974 aqua-star motor is pretty damn powerful. Its turning a x642 octura no worries not getting hot at all and I have no doubt it will see me to my 100kmh goal when I can open it up. Its well built and for the $$ I'm impressed, going to have to build another boat to use my leopard in I think....

I bought a set of SUXFLY 4092 - 930kV motors (10S for each combo) + HRC water jackets for my 50'' FOUNTAIN

Hey guys! It's been a few years.

The boat is still sitting in my closet. I don't know what happened but I never ended up finishing it. I will finish it now in the next month. I am thinking of going with two 2200kv motors, two 120amp escs, and 5s power to each esc.

Prop size ideas anyone? Octura x645 maybe? 45mm CNC props?
