Pursuit mono motor and prop advice

[ls1fst98]

Not sure yet, thinking a 450, I just picked the hull up and should have her together this week. Just finished my single cheetah with same power

I run the x548 I suggested on my 39" mono, Castle 1717 (1580kv) on 6s2p and get 60 out of it..................great prop, you dont want too much diameter...........an x450 should do well too though

In my pursuit, I have a leopard 4082 2000kV and swordfish 130A HV ESC. I run it with a 5000mah nanotech turnigy 5S batt. I don't remember exact specs on the prop as I just went to the local hobby shop, told him the specs and asked what he suggested. I'm pretty sure its 45mm dia. I haven't upgraded the cooling in it so I keep an eye on the temps wen I run it but so far I have not had any temperature issues. I bought a swordfish 180A esc which I was planning on running with 6S but I think the esc is a dud. It does not run fast at all and does not accelerate anymore past 1/4 throttle. Yanked it back out and gone back to the 5S setup. The 6S battery and that motor would kill the 130A esc I think. Most people I tell scratch their heads but it works for me. I'm yet to get a GPS readout from it but I would estimate that it would be pushing 100kph when I can keep it in the water.

Question about the same hull, in the build process on mine and was wondering if the kintec replacement cf turn fins off a sv27 would be long enough for this hull

[Make-a-Wake]

I think those turn fins would work, the Pursuit can actually corner very well without fins, although in sanctioned races you would want the benefit of turn fins obviously.

Ok. I have decided on a Leopard 4082 and a Swordfish 220 pro. (Or should I get the SeaKing 180. They are both the same price in UK) I will be running 4s2p but now looking at props? I did run an M445 on the original motor.. soooo can I still use this prop, or should I be trying an X440/445? Thanks

What kv???

[DaveM]

Oops 2200kv

Beefy motor, great choice, my prop suggestions for 4s2p:

x548, x645, y547

[DaveM]

Excellent. Thanks Sir.

I have the same hull but with a Castle 1515 2200kv on 4s. I have been finding the x6 series to have too much lift but the M547 works very nice as does a M447.
I went through a the X6 props on my 35" DF too with all kinds of hopping and submarine instances. Don't get me wrong, it flew with them but very loosely(POOR HULL).

The x645 would actually be my 3rd choice of the three i suggested, x548 first(great prop) and the y547 second.

Mmm, I'll have to try that one M-A-W

Would someone be able to tell if this esc auto detects the amount of cells. It came with no instructions and I want to be sure before I take it for its maiden voyage. Thanks. Dave
