Pursuit with a feiago

[hyrulejedi86]

So, in light of the recent Spartan issues I have opted for a pursuit mono and it arrived today!! I must say it was bigger than expected but looks awesome! I had a couple of questions though. Alot of the setups I saw around here people were running loepards or neu motors in their pursuits.
I already have a 7xl feigao I want to run on it with 4s until I can afford to get a better motor. When I do get a motor I really like the leopards. I was looking and how does the 4074 leopard sound at 1400kv on 6s, 1774kv at 5s or 2000kv at 4s.

Any thoughts? And what are some suggestions on props?

[Fluid]

The 7XL is really a hydro motor and is too much for that hull on 4S, the Kv is too high and it may not swing a large enough prop to be very efficient. If you insist on using it, then no more than an x442 prop at first, and bring it in after the first minute to check temps.

The 5S and 6S Leopards you mentioned are a bit on the hot side but will probably work okay on that hull. Start with the m445 and move up carefully.

Thanks for the response Fluid, I hear your the best!

I do want to use that motor until I can order a leopard. When you say a bit hot what do you mean?
Also, would the 1400kv be better at 5s? That's only 25,900 rpm, does that mean a larger prop would be better with those lower RPMs?

I'm just trying to figure out the most efficient leopard setup, and BTW I have a seaking 180A ESC I am going to use on this setup.

[hyrulejedi86]

I've looked around on here and found alot of different setups. It seems that one of the most popular was a neu 1521 1.5D setup on 5s. I can't afford a neu so I was have been thinking and can't decide what to do.

I want the leopard 4074 with either 1774 (5s) or 2000kv (4s). I have my UL-1 that runs on 4s and I'm trying to keep things consistent. If I ran the pursuit on 5s and the UL-1 on 4s then I would have 2 sets of batteries per boat to run. But if I run 4s on the pursuit then I have 3 sets of batteries total to run.

Another option would be: I have 2 zippy 3s 5000mAh 20C lipos and I could get 2 2S 5000mAh lipos and then have one set of 4s or a pair of 5s giving me the option to run either. But my only problem I see is that they are only 20C. That's 100A and if my setups are running around 70-80A it's close but not 100A.

Also, those zippys are only used once, could I pair them with a 2s 5000mAh 20C turnigy instead of more zippy. (this way I could get them from the US warehouse)?

Thoughts....ideas?
What should I do?

My pursuit has a 2200kv Leopard, runs on 4s(2 x 5000 40c), hits 45 mph with an x442 and comes in cold................

Great hulls............

[hyrulejedi86]

Wow, so if I want to hit the mid 50s with it how would I go about doing that. Thinking if yours runs nice and cool maybe doing something like that and propping up would get better speeds?

What do you guys think about the battery ?s

[Make-a-Wake]

Since you're using a T180 speedo, throw an x445 on it and see what she does..........

[hyrulejedi86]

Just out of curiosity is a grim 38x52 a bigger prop than the x442?

[GP73]

The X442 would be a 42x59.

[hyrulejedi86]

Hows that? I thought the first 4 ment 1.4" pitch or 35.56mm and 42 was the diameter in mm. Where does the 59 come from? I'm just curious so in the future I can make the conversion myself.

Thanks for the help!

I ran a m445 on my leopard 2200kv in my pursuit and came in crazy low (barely over 100f. I now have a x447 on her, yet to run. Weather issues. Like fluid said the 7xl is not the right motor for this hull. I ran that motor in my ul1 and had a hard time keeping the temps in good range. Motor always came in hot. I ran a prather 220, grim 40x57, grim 38x63 and a x440/3 they all came in kinda hot. Like 125-135F range. I wound't try that motor in a Pursuit. Your better to save your money and wait... JMO

[hyrulejedi86]

Actually, already have that motor already, that's why I was thinking about using it. But honestly I am probably going to run the pursuit with the stock motor temporarily until I can save up a bit and get a leopard for it. They sound like they are quite reliable and will do well on it. Can't wait honestly! I've actually read through your thread on the pursuit and it was a good amount of and good information. You should get a new video of your pursuit with that setup on youtube. I looked at your page and couldn't find one of the pursuit at all.

Yea I read you have it... Save it, you might risk blowing it in your pursuit.... I have a Leopard 4074 2200kv and 1774kv, both are amazing... If your like me and don't want to spend neu money ( i know their the best I just can't justify buying them for sport boating which is what I do), best alternative. WAY better then the Feigao's for a few bucks more....

[hyrulejedi86]

Sounds good. I completely agree about the neu motors. Thanks for the input!

The 1.4 is not the pitch, Its 1.4 x 42mm diameter =58.8mm or 2.31". Thanks Martin.
