Best LiPo for Kintec Pursuit Mono?

[domp444]

Just ordered the Pursuit boat from Kintec (2074kv motor with seaking 120amp ESC). Which battery would you recommend for it?

Should I go with 4s or 5s? CAN I go 5s?

4s not 5s. Prepare to change the motor to one of better quality such as a leopard or cc or maybe even a neu.

[domp444]

Alright, got it! A friend of mine was persuading me to go 5s, and I was kinda hesitant. Haha.

What's wrong with the motor that it comes with? And can you please link me to what motors you recommend for it?

[Diesel6401]

Tell him he can buy you a new motor after you blow it on 5. lol.

1st choice is the 1518 on 4s or 5s plus their on sale http://www.castlecreations.com/promo...clearance.html

I use a leopard 4074 2200kv in mine which is the clone version of the 1515 2200kv i listed

do a search of df33 to find information on this hull it is pretty much a copy

[domp444]

Ahaha, good point! Glad I found out.

So out of those, which would be the best one? The cc 1515 is kind of expensive and I don't think I need that right now. I kind of like the leo-4074 2000kv. What kind of speeds can I expect out of that?

Also, will the motor I like fit right into the current setup of the boat?

What ever motor u chose out of those I listed will require work. With the leopard you can get the 40mm mount from ose. You can searcg for my thread its called best setup for a pursuit. Speed is always related to setup with the right prop 50s without a doubt

[domp444]

Alright will do. Just one more question. With the leopard motor, can I run 5s?

[Diesel6401]

Its not about if the motor can take the voltage because it can its what the unloaded rpms will be. If your determined to run 5s get the 1774kv, on the 2000 or 2200 use 4s

[domp444]

Oh gotcha. I really have no clue when it comes to kv and rpm and how to determine what can handle what. I think it's time I learn. Thank you!

[domp444]

Alright, considering ordering the leopard 4074 2000kv motor, since OSE just got the water jacket back in stock. The thing is, Jan is waiting on the next batch of Pursuits to come in, since I ordered after he sold the last one. He said he should have them in about 2 weeks. Sucks, but I'm gonna wait. I want that boat anyway, so no point in getting a refund and then buying it.

I also ordered 2x Turnigy 2s 6000mah 25-50C nano-tech batteries. I still have my six other batteries for my SV27, which I will use in the Pursuit until I get more. I'm excited!

[sailr]

6000mah turnigy's? Hmmm, interesting. Changes to transport rules a couple of months ago precluded shipping anything larger than 5499mah. Not sure how they are getting around that!

[domp444]

Oh, really? I didn't know about that, but I got an email confirming that my order has been shipped via EMS.

[sailr]

Maybe they are just cheating on the law. Probably get caught sooner or later.

[domp444]

I hope not! Haha, they're my main source for batteries.
