Looking to R&R A 36" Shockwave to FE 4s, Any info on a good cheap motor for it.

[lenny]

Hieverybody,
I want to do a 4s setup on a 36" Shockwave mono.
Going with a Seaking 180a Esc and two 4s 30c 5300mah gens, But not shore on motor yet.
Thinking on 1800kv for cool long run times 35 to 40 mph
Not shore on prop yet , I have a s230 it came with and 187 flex to.
Motors i was looking at are, Tacon , Keda , Leopard ,------------------------

Thanks for any info everybody.

Not sure about this one, but even for slower speeds you could have a high amp load only running 4s??

I would suggest a leopard 4082 1550 motor and 6s. You will be happier with the runtime.

I have the same motor on 6s and love it. I think the Leopard has a slight edge over the Castle 1520.

Thanks Steven for info, But not shore if i want to go 6s yet.
What kind of run times do you think on 6s 30c 5300mah Gens, for sport running ?

[LarrysDrifter]

5-6 minutes.

[lenny]

Ok Thanks Larry, So if i go two 6s 30c 5300 gens i should be good good for 10 minutes.
What boat do you have the 4082 1500kv motor in ?
I see now DF 33.

But.....if you are dead set on 4s, this 4074 1828kv Keda will get you 35 to 40mph with an x445/m445. I just ran my first Keda from Steven today........its the 1391kv version, ran it on 6s.......it's a beast and sounds sweet!

If you put a prop that was going to run 35-40mph the runtime should be well over 10 minutes.

I started one of theses and never finished it. Definitely on my boat bucket list.

[lenny]

Need more info for good setup thanks.

What prop would i need for 4s or 6s setup to run over 10 minutes ?

Thanks for info.

Hi Lenny,I was just looking at this hull for a spare CC1717 that I have.Did you find the hull bare or used and where?

[lenny]

Hi,
It was used and setup for nitro.
Found it on craigslist.
Trying to make what i have in parts right now work,
To see how it may run on 4s.

[roadrashracing]

is the boat just to heavy for 4s? A spartan on 4s is not much and it must be a lighter boat.
