    BTW I have a prop that you worked for Chilli (M545) on my P-Sport FE 30 and it works purrrrrfect - no lift/rear hop. Good job
    Glad to hear it.

      Hi Guy's ,

      Ordered the 40-74-1360kv Keda to run in a 6s sport set up , when they appeared in a thread about a month ago , still waiting it for it to turn up within the next week or so , i hope . Kinda wish i chose the faster shipping option , bit of an oversight as i usually use that option & the cost difference between both services isn't financially crippling .....

      All the best in F/E R/C Boating ,

        That was a spare I sent to Tony. I had to spread your love to the west coast.

          Hi Guy's ,

          i received the Keda BL motor i ordered in the post yesterday , some 5 weeks after ordering it . Seems to be a good sport motor , yet to run it though . If you live outside of North America , i suggest that you pay for the faster delivery method ....

              The idle current on the keda 4074 2000kv is over 2x the idle current of the Leopard 4074 2000kv at 10v.
              Running at 10v with no load 4.5A vs 1.7A for the Leopard.
              Thats a big difference in efficiency!
              This is comparing Y wind to Y wind if thats what Egneg was referring to, You could have been wondering about to 3674 tested above though.

              If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?

                Hmmm.... Looks like I'm sticking with leopard motor then. My 4074 2200 kv leopard is just sick!!!

                  Did you adjust timing as these can be "Y" or "D" and need to be timed accordingly.

                    I went from d series motor to d series motor and have since rechecked timing to make sure its on the lowest timing ... who knows i may just have a dud motor, am running the same shaft bearing as well. Changed back to Leopard and ran this morning and was back up in speed.
