Seaking 120 vs Hydra 120

[Diegoboy]

As D newland said, the 1509 1y has a kV too high for 4S

Maybe a 1415 1Y

Thanks. I think I'm all set. Saw that a member makes 5.5 bullet parallel adapters. Save me some work.

Sounds like you already bought the motor...??

If not, you will be happier going with a 4S setup over a 2S setup. If you go with the 1509 2Y motor, it has half of the Kv as the 1Y and would be considered a 4S motor. 4S1P. It's safer on the ESC to go with more voltage rather than more amps to achieve your wattage output goals. 2S setups are typically amp hogs.

Anytime you have a choice to go with higher voltage vs. higher amps, go with the higher voltage setup.

Yes. Purchased it last night. I was going by D. Smocks thread and wanted to put what he used in the same boat. Could not find anyone selling the Hydra 120. So I was concerned about the seaking being compatible. This stuff is confusing but you guys have helped alot. So voltage over amps always.
First boat I modified was a Miss Geico. Took out the motor and esc and put in a Leopard 4082 and seaking 180 on 8s (not knowing what the hell I was doing and the 2-4s batteries barely fit). Friggin thing flys. Flipped it several times until I figured you gotta lower the strut to keep it in the water. I'm in florida so swimming after it was no problem. Bought a Stiletto and put a hook on it. My retrieval boat. Busted three flex cables on the Geico already. Broke right where cable meets steel. Got a lake in the back yard. So access to do my thing is easy. Thanks again for your help
