What Feigao 580l motor for a 37.5" Mono

[agressive1]

Hello

Iam wanting to purchase a motor for my 37.5" Mono hull although not to sure what to get i know i want a Feigao 580l because of the price but i dont want a motor that will completely kill my Seaking 180a esc. The boat will be running on 2x 22.2v 6s 5000mah Lipos in Parallel with a x460 prop.

So i want it to be quick but i also want it to be reliable and not kill my ESC.

For a heavier boat do you go for something more RPM reving or less RPM reving.

The higher the RPM does it have more up and go or top end....?

Im guessing a 12l would be slower then a 9l?

Also would 12G wire be suited for my needs or should i go for the 10G?

Thanks
Dean

You'll want torque, but 37.5" isn't really all that big... Target 25,000 to 30,000 RPM and you should be fine. I'd think something in the 1100-1200 KV range would be about right... Even for racing... Going to depend on what your planning on doing with the boat, but I think this range is safe even for Sport Boating... Would FLY!

hey Darin, what about a Castle motor in this and in a 40" mono on 4s-5s?

or would a 580 be better?
thanks

Any more than the 12L will give you trouble with a an x460............its plenty.

[Rumdog]

a x460 will be too big with any of those motors, and for that hull.

[agressive1]

Ok so i will go for a smaller prop

Do you think a Feigao 580 12l or a 9l or...?

Yes do plan on doing some light racing with it.

x460 too big? I use x464 ok.. (just at max)

[Rumdog]

Ummm, with a Feigao 580? On a 37.5" mono?

[vasy]

deep vee.

[Flying Scotsman]

An X460 is a pretty big prop, what ESC are you using?

I think that 180 amp will go poof on aggresive1's application

If the electronics don't fail, the boat will more than likely lay on it's side under power. I sure wouldn't run a prop that large on a Feigao 580!

[Make-a-Wake]

I'd run an x645............12L

[agressive1]

What other ESC is recommended then, yes i will be running a Seaking 180a

Anyother prop suggestions and motor size, 12L????

[Make-a-Wake]

A seaking 180a is more then enough for that motor if you dont severely overprop it.
