Swordfish or seaking?

[Cinnabun]

Looking for a 120a speedo for my revolt. Going to be running 4s with a Leo 3674.

What's the better speedo? They're not much difference in price but I haven't used either one, so I'd like to hear some feedback.

Thanks.

Get a 150 or 180. The revilt runs great on 5s 1p with rigjt prop.

I'm going to have too much kv(2200) to run 5s, and I also have a ton of 4s bricks that I currently use. Not really looking to switch to 5s.

I have not had great success with seaking. Having said that Steve thinks they are a good value. I like the 200 and 240 castle hydra ice escs. Great for tuning with castle link and you can always use them for a more powerful set up in another boat. Lots of people like the etii as well. Although the hydra ice escs are expensive, if they fail castle is great about.
Replacing them for free. With seaking, good luck.

I already own a high voltage esc for my genesis. I am only looking for something to run my 3674 Leo assuming the stock revolt esc will probably not like that motor at all.

Between the swordfish and seaking, can you suggest one?

Personally I would want more than a 120, just to be safe. That motor can still pull some amps, especially with props bigger than 42mm.

[Cinnabun]

Hm. I have a t180 laying here, however it's going to have to be shoe horned into the revolt.

I would go for the Swordfish, having said that i've got some 120a seaking in my twin genesis, and no problems at all. But SF got a bigger range of esc's and in the future if your going bigger you can use the same program box on both boats. But you can't go wrong with either of them.

[MrDriveby]

Btw for 30 bucks more you'll get the SF220a 2-6, that one is only 8mm longer and 11mm wider than the 120a:-)

Hydra ice 240

[Cinnabun]

The SF220 is out of stock at the OSE store, thats why I didnt consider it.

Hydra ice 240

You're talking more than double the price. For sport running, I'd rather take my chances with the SF or SK 120. If the SF220 was in stock I'd go with that.

I know some have got away with the 3674 on a 120a, personally I would go higher 180a - 220a depending on make.
