    Best setup for 32" catamaran

    Hello guys,
    I need your advice about the best setup for a Hydro & Marine 32" catamaran with one brushless motor.
    4S batteries with 540XL 2200 kV
    or
    6S batteries with 540XL 1500 kV

    Thank you for your help

    Here is the hull, this is an Intruder 32" from HM.
    A friend of mine bought this boat and may be you can help me for the setup, 4S with 540XL 2200kV or 6S with 540XL 1500kV?

    Thanks

      The 6S will end up being a lower amp draw and better rig. of course propping righ is ket but you will being able to run larger props and a smaller ESC...like 120-150.

        Intruder Mk II 37"

        Will be running a 6S pack but you could run a 4S, 120A ESC, Nemesis Gold 482-2Y 1500kv motor. Will start out with a X440/3 Blade.

        The 482 might be a little much for a smaller boat at 4.66HP; you could go with a Nemesis Gold 474-3Y at 3.46HP.
        I only need one!!!

          A good set up would be a 180 amp esc,Leopard 4074 1400kv,two 3s packs in series for 6s total.You could run a 4082 1500kv,but it might be a little too much power for the 32".With the 1400kv,you could prop up and get quite fast speeds with less amp draw than running 4s.

            Out of the choices you have the 540xl 1500 would be way better than the 2200kv. But it if was my hull I would put a CC 1518 in it or a Leopard 1774 on 4s2p. JMO

              what kind of run time could you expect with the 3s in series setup?
