Best set-up for a Pursuit Mono

[Diesel6401]

I have one of these in white, very nice hull & hardware. I lost the 1620kv & the ESC & have put in a 180 seaking & the Turnigy 500 typhoon outrunner, this is a 6 pole motor & has a good amount of torque & will be using a x445 to start with.

Yet to hit the water with it, but will be doing so this weekend.

Let us know how that works out for you.

My mate has one with a KB45 1600 kv on 5s with a Turnigy 180, She flies.. A bit loose but for the price very good. Look into strenghtening the motor mount, battery tray and stuffing tube as they usualy come weak or loose.

I heard about weak motor mounts, trays etc... Seems to be common with the cheaper boats

Resin or Epoxy is your freind, & it is of course easier to do it before heading off to the wet stuff.

I will let you know how I go.

This Hull runs like a wet dream At first with the X445 plastic it ran warm-hot Motor only everything else was cold including ESC & batts, this is with an outrunner as mentioned above so only a water cooled mount.

Next I went to the 40/53 prop & everything ran even colder & motor was just warm, this was with a good 6-7 minute run.

Speed wise pretty good considering it is only a 1800kv 35mm motor...I love 6 pole motors. I did not run a GPS (don't have one) but I would say it was running early-mid 40's at a guess.

I did not have to adjust trim tabs, stinger etc, the only thing that I did different from stock is make up some ply for each of the 2s packs which sit either side of the factory battery tray & around 60-70mm back. The 180a ESC sits right at the back of the factory battery tray, CG is at 250mm from the stern. It was quite windy today & the boat handled very well & turns like it's on rails.

yes, enough space for 180.
I'd try m445 1st, seems x6 series of props drain battery faster. I get better runtime on x442 then on x640... and more fun :)

thats because the boat likes the extra blade area of the 442, 445, try a 642. I would bet that you could go up even more prop on that 4074 try a 447 for a test.

a guy in our club runs a pursuit in our offshore class on a SV27 motor 4s1p 5000 Turnigy lipos and a 445 for 4 minutes runs good!

So far this is what I got so far:

- Leopard 4074 2200kv (although I just pick up a CC 1518 1800kv)
- Spektrum mr200
- JR servo
- Turnigy/Seaking 180
- M445
- .187 3/16 flexcable with octura 5mm - .187 coupler

Id of thought the Leopard 2200 kv is to much for 6s but ideal for 4s where as the 1800kv was better suited to 5s possibly pushing to 6s for shorter runs.

Im not running 6s on a leopard 2200kv, WAY to much kv. I will be running 2 4s lipos in parallel. If I do switch to the 1518 it would also be 4s or maybe even 5s for some fun.

what set up for 50mph + with this boat?

[Krowbar69]

Nice looking boat Diesel...

[simo71]

I have the leopard in mine (2200kv) with the 180amp esc spinning a X442 on 4s. The boat is ballistic & seems to always draw a crowed when i run it.

The older setup i was running was good for general running....now I have to keep my wits about me when I drive it, a lot of fun.

[Diesel6401]

So it seems like the a lot of people are running the leopard 2200 in their df33 copy or pursuits, I'm really thinking of changing over to the cc1518 I just got. I'm confused on what I should do. I haven't even stuck the boat in the water yet and maybe on a second motor change lol.

[Lasse Baardseth]

I have mine setup with Neu 1521 1,5y and 10s

Cant wait to try it!

[lectriglide]

Diesel - since it's ready to go now, get it wet! You're more than likely gonna see what the 1518 does in it eventually, so you have to run 'em both anyway. My guess is the 2200kv is gonna run well.

[RCKong]

Nice setup... should run well either way
