Looking at getting a Genesis Cat & upgrading the motor & esc Mainly for straight line runs, Is the Leopard 5692 motor to much for this hull (37"+ hardware x 9" wide). Looking at 1090kv on 8s or 1350kv on 6s, Or is the smaller Leopard 4074 motors better suited for this hull. Im looking at Leopard motors because the pretty much available in the UK.Martin.

I'm currently running a seaking 180amp esc with the stock motor but was thinking of the fiegao 540xl 10 on 3s2p. Will this motor fit the standard mount?Comment

Sorry I did mean 6s2p. I want a motor that will work well with the standard mount though. I don't want anything to crazy as I only use it for a bit of fun, mid 40s is plenty for me.Comment

For a better upgrade over the stock it will work and fit what you have. Stock water jacket will prob work as well, not sure about mid 40s though.Comment

The 56mm motor is just to huge for a mid 30" boat. I would suggest the 4074 1400kv motor on 6s.Steven Vaccaro

I want a 4082 to try on something, I need another boat
The 580 are listed at 45mm and it pushed the hull over the limits, so yea a 56mm would be a bit overkill realistically lol, thank you for bringing me back to reality lol. I think the hull only is like 37" long.Comment

Re making/ mod mounts etc is not a problem as i have a fully equipped machine shop at home so any thing can be made or modded to suit. What would the 4082/2y 120a,3500w,1500kv on 6s =33300rpm, Or 4082 2.5y 82a,1250kv on 7s=32375rpm compared with the 4074 motor, As i said its for short streaight line speeds more than circuits.

So would the leopard 4074 go straight in then, I'm a bit of noob when it comes to upgrading motors, also I've ordered an x642 prop for it. How rubbish is the stock motor on the genesis?Comment
-
I didn't even bother with the stock motor. I changed it asap and sold the motor unused. I think the KV is to high and the motor is to small for a hull that size JMO.Comment

Thanks for the info, I think I will get the leopard when I have some more pennies cos I just found out that I've been hit with import charge for my KOS P1 £67!!!! That's tipoff UKComment

In the video in my signature I tied a m445 and different cg's and it blew over. With a CF45 it ran 48mph and perfect. Their are some guys over 50 and running good. I just didn't have the patience on the hull. I had other things going on.Comment
