hv hydra esc

[2fast]

what hv hydra esc will be good to use with the neu 1415 1500kv motor on a prather lap cat III? also what batterie?

thanks

Why are you going for the HV series? Are you planning to run 6s or more?

[2fast]

its a 36" cat wont i have to?

[Raydee]

That motor may be a little small for a 36" hull BUT since its a outboard it may work or may not. THe bigger problem that you will have is running 6s on a 2200KV motor. You are looking at over 48,000RPM......NEVER going to work in a tunnel hull.

Are you planning to run it SAW only? If that is the answer I can't help you there, I only run oval.

[2fast]

no i run oval so what motor do you recomend for 6s? or could i run 4s on the motor posted above?

[2fast]

how about a 1521 1577kv and a hydra 240 on 6s ?

[Raydee]

Sorry I misread your post (not the first time). Your 1500 KV motor will be a little hot but def workable on 6s. I ran a 1500KV motor on 6s and it was very fast. For a 36" Boat I run 1527 motors but I think in a outboard the 1521 would do just fine. As far as a ESC goes I have a feeling the Hydra 120 would be a little to weak but the Hydra 240HV would be overkill and hard on the wallet. Might want to try that Swordfish 240HV that Steve is selling.

ok ill check that esc out to. thanks for the help (im a newb)

could i use this mount as an adapter to use the 1521?http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...od=ose-drmount i would need it to mount to this kit? http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...5-bullet-drive

There are lots of "inexpensive " controllers out there for a lot less money than the Castle controllers (Turnigy 180) comes to mind and are proving to be very reliable.

OSE sells Swordfish and Etti controllers as well.

yes i think i will be going with the sword fish but will the 1514 1500kv be enough motor on 6s if not what do i need to adapt the 1521 or 1527 to this kit? http://www.offshoreelectrics.com/pro...5-bullet-drive

thanks

Personally, I've never seen or heard of that large of a motor being used on an outboard.

I think that on 6s, the cable might have a hard time surviving.

Have you considered a Fiego xl series motor? It will fit that drive. The bigger Neu's would need some sort of custom adapter plate I would think.

[2fast]

the neu 1515 and 1514 fit with no adapter but i was not sure if they would be enough for my boat. after reading what you said, they should be? thanks.
