    Brushless Motor recommendations

    At the moment I have a mystic 29 with a Turnigy 180Amps ESC, but am going to upgrade the hull to a Fightercat Rivercat 32'. I'm still not totally knowledgeable about motors; I used to have the Proboat 1800KV but want something with more pizzaz. Im looking at the Leopard 3674 motors but could use some help on choosing the right motor for around $90? FYI; I have a Turnigy Trackstar 2650 but I can't find a hittable water jacket and don't have the capability to machine it or build something to cool it.

    If your going to be running 4S, I think a leo 4074 / 2000kv or 1800kv is a better choice than the 3674.

        With a T180 ESC you would be crazy to not go the 2200kv option for 4s. especially if you want to go fast. You will however want some 5500 50c+ bats for it.

            i'm leaning toward the 4082 2200kv; i have 2 7500mah 2sp turnigy batteries in Series. One day I may try 6S but its way to expensive right now.
