I used an orange Tacon 1700kv all summer long in my Spartan which ran long and hard without a hitch. Like this one. http://www.hobbypartz.com/96m812-3674-1700kv.htmlComment

The guy on RCUniverse used the 1650 2 pole to compare with a 4 pole Leopard.................duh............
Speed - Electric - Leopard Red Series vs. Turnigy XK Series (comparison) - A while a go HK launched a new series of motors named Turnigy XK . Its striking outward similarity, and similarity of specs, lead many (myself included) to believe these motors were rebranded Leopards, sold for a ridicilously low HK price.Last edited by Make-a-Wake; 03-11-2012, 10:36 PM.NEED PARALLEL CONNECTORS??

I put that same 1700kv motor in my supervee...it is a power house and runs cool on 4s..on 6s it had no problem turning a 442 3 blade and waaaaay more power then SV needed or could use...but being a novice after about 6 mins i burned a 120 seaking esc and puffed to 4000 25 gens packs...But the motor was not harmed...I think this motor would work great in my new motley crew using a 200 amp esc and a octura x440 or x442/2 on 5s...I am wondering if it is same as turngy 36-74-1700kv or there 2200 kv? i BET THe 2200kv would be great with x440/2 on 5s in MC... I like the 40-74 size but i think they are over kill and would cut run time down about 1-2 mins,but being only in this hobby for 4 months just not sure...Comment

I really like the Tacon Orange line, In fact I have 2 of the 1700kv units and 2 of the 1300kv units. The 1700 was run on 6S exclusively with a T180 ESC. Unfortunately the $39 deals seem to out of stock across the board. This video is rather interesting comparing Tacon/Leopard/Castle http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oA4ejiBGAUgComment

Thanks Snowride, are u familiar with the aquacraft MC? if so do u think the tacon 36-74-1700kv would be a good upgrade... i want it to jump out of the hole and have mid fifties top end...i think with a 200 amp esc,x442/2 on 5or 6s it should performlike this...if not please share your opinion....Just ran her about an hour ago using total stock setup with sky 5000mah 40c packs..i have it set up pretty good nice and light on the front,but it can't be doing more then 36-37 mph...with the sharpened and balanced x442 speed was maybe a little faster,but everything including batteries got much hotter then i like,so using anything but a stock size prop is not something i will be doing..I deffinitely am ready for more power and speed,my 24'' surge crusher flys with stock 36-56-2000kv,seaking 120amp,5s and octura x440/2(around 50mph top end and jumps out of the water on starts)so i want my MC to leave my crusher in its wake as i love the design and look of this cat a lot...thanksComment

I have no experience with a MC however I think it is a great motor choice and seeing mid 50's is very feasible. I think you will be fine on a T180 but the 200A will give you more headroom. I have the 1300kv set up in an Apparition that I will be testing come thaw and will also experiment running the 1700. The Apparition is a little bigger/heavier than the MC. Here is a vid (not mine) showing the apparition @ 57mph http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hlPka9acXhMComment

I never took them apart but I had a turnigy 4082 1600kv and leopard 4082 1550kv side by side. One thing I noticed the magnets in leopard motor were so much more stronger when you could barely spin the shaft on the leopard versus almost free spinning on the turnigy. both were brand new out of the box.Comment

i wish someone could do a video of those motors running in a boat using same batteries,prop and even a gps installed with a time on each run...the test results would answer a lot of questions that all boat guys could relate to...like power,rpms, how efficiant, temps on all electrical...and possibly durability if it was done over several runs...Comment

I have run the 4074 2000kv in my genesis on 4s since dec and it runs a dream. With a x645 prop it doesn't even get warm after a 5-6min run and that's with the timing at 15deg. I can't say if they are as good as the leopards but for the price I will deffo be using them again.Comment

That would be nice but without seeing it I will can tell you the Leopard will do slightly better. Temps may be lower and amp draw may also be slightly lower, I seriously do not think there would be a mile an hour differance if any as there are way too many other factors involved. Heck even the same boat/motor on 3 different runs will give you a different speed on each run. Bigger question is, are you willing to pay the extra $50+ for the difference. This is not medical equipment we are talking about rather toys. If you want the best then stop looking at the Chinese stuff and yes even the Leopard brand is Chinese stuff. All the NEU stuff is several times the price but design and quality control are better, still made in China though. They strive for efficiency and they say they are "up to" 10% more efficient than the competition. Again, are you willing to dish out $100+ for basically similar units. Pricing structure is between the brands all off if you ask me. Should be like this in reality. Turnigy $50, Leopard $75, Neu, $100.Comment
