Genesis cat,,,

[HYDROJERRY]

10min from louisburg, maybe 35min from Raleigh, didnt notice you location where are you at maybe we'er close enough to hook up and run sometime,,

Which one of these would you suggest as a stock setup, the ebay one says it has uprated hardware but the astec models one runs a seaking 120amp esc and metal prop?

Good question. i think it says at the bottom of the ebay one it has upgraded hardware, thats good and has a servo thats good,,,
Now the aztec one has a 120esc and brass prop..think the ebay one maybe better but after shipping alittle more expensive to,,huumm

[jamespl]

The thing is i already have a servo and a progamming card for the seaking ecs so im kinda leaning towards the astec one. It doest really look any different to the HK one on ebay!

[HYDROJERRY]

Now it takes a standerd size servo, i had a hitec mini servo ready for it but wont fit unless i make something.. Then you got the better hardware to, think everyone says the factory hardware dont hold up but i cant afford new Dw right now so im gonna run mine with what it has.. I think aztec did pritty well for me so its up to you..

I'm in the Charlotte Lake Norman area. Not sure how far that is from you.

[HYDROJERRY]

Charlotte, eek, i think like 3hrs or more(Dam) doesnt anybody live close to me,,, im all alone out here,, its scaryyy,,LOL

Would two 3s 25c 4400's work good,,,

2 x 3s in series would be 6s which is way too high RPM for either a 9xl or the stock motor (2075). 5s on a 9xl might do the trick though, stock 2075kv on 5s is a kinda high but still under 40k RPM.

OK im looking at the receipt and it says it has a 6xL 2 pole 2075kv motor and a 120a esc, but looks just like my faigeo 9xL hummm, Im still learning so how do figure out what batts you need, i have 2x2s 5000lipos would that be better...

They will look the same it's a 540 xl can, the difference is whats inside (number of turns) lower # in your case 6 means less torque higher top-end, higher number of turns means less top-end more torque. My 7xl and 11xl look just like both your motors just different turns. With lower turn motors you may want to try a smaller prop, that way the motor can really wind out, lower kv or higher turn motors can swing a bigger prop. The lower # the turns the higher the KV and usually less voltage it needs. You want to stay around 35k RPM. Rpm is the kv rating x the volts. So your 2075kv x 22.2volts (6s) = 46065 unloaded RPM's WAY high. Hopefully this info helps. So to your question your stock motor on 14.8volts(4s) = 30710 rpm. Your best would be the 9xl you have on 5s. 1598kv * 18.5volts (5s) = 35113 rpm. When wiring 5s take a 2s and 3s with the same mah rating and same c rating (try for same manufactor as well) adn wire is series or take 2 x 5s and wire in parallel.

Thanks Diesel yes that helped, but gotta keep my true 9xL for my 32'' skunk cat im building, O yes shes going to be sweet,,think im going Geico coloring on it,, anyway think for now ill just run my 2s 5000's in there,just for now...

Ok so after 2 weeks of waiting finally received my genesis from Hk. First impressions of the look . I found no defects in hull and only a few runs in the paint other than that I am really happy. I won't get a chance to run her till tuesday or wednesday though.

[jamespl]

Im well impressed with mine, i got mine from the guy who sells them on ebay and it has the octura flex, its so easy to take out and grease. ive only run it a couple of times on a single 3s but its not bad (waiting on my 2x 2s) next job is to change the esc and prop.
