Hobbyking motors

[teamchrome]

Im on a budget and im looking for a motor on Hobbyking that would be the equal to my Leopard 4074.
Any thoughts of what to get?

What is wrong with the 4074, I just got one...
Oh hey chuck, is your motor bad

Ive got the 4082 for the Mean Machine, I just need something other than the stocker in the Geico.
Ill swap the ESC from boat to boat until I order another ESC from the shop..
Depends on how much.. and how long it takes them to get the ones we orederd in our hands.

That and Im cheep......

I totally forgot about the mean machine. Check out the motors on fighter cats site.

Make sure you check the wattage. The HK motors are great for their price, but some of them only put out up to 450 watts of power, in which case the stock MG motor would be better. Theirs a T600 right now in the swap shop I have heard good things about those motors. 6s motor http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=21002


*If I were you I would buy a CC 3424 1800kv outrunner that's currently on sale for $40!!!! Would kick the ***** out of ANY HK motor!

theres a fair few people on the HK site that claim the morots like
"KB45-08L 2300kv" and similar work well in boats, however pull a fair amount of amps and gets hot, but might be able to be fixed with water cooling. Most people seem to run them in cars and as jet motors but in a boat might be okay

Buy a Neu, cheaper in the long run.

the turnigy t600 1400kv is very good for the money. I use it in my mean machine on 6s and very happy so far, I also have a scorpion 4025 1470kv (130$) and the performance is the same. I also used a NEU 1515 1.5Y 1500kv and same perfmormance (speeds, amps). The NEU had lower temp (about 104 F) and the outrunners about 130-140 F which is OK for outrunners.

Is that T600 the same motor as what venom are putting into that P1 boat?

I got a HobbyKing KD3656 3000Kv motor and I think its an amp hog...

YOu can get the Leopard 4074 2200 or 2000 kV for $59 again. Forgot what site...

[teamchrome]

$59.....
Where is that???

Do the outrunners need water cooling?
How are they at getting wet?

54.95 but don't say leopard, same motor another badge.
Looks like tacon motors are the same as well.
A while ago I found a site that had what looked like leopard motors but you could get anything silk screened on them, no minimum order either.
I'd love to be running a Siberian Husky 4074. Then my boats would develop a superiority complex, just like the 4 footed kind! I guess if you can trace your lineage back over 3000 years you're allowed!
