http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIX-r...layer_embedded Watch at 7.04 Hobbyking are claiming 50mph with stock setup but with a octura x442 prop is this possible or just a load of bull?

I have the Genisis's cousin, a HK Apparition that has the same motor (1620KV) & hardware in it. I'm running two Turnigy Nano Tec 5000 45/90C (3S2P) with an Octura X442, and Turnigy 240 HV speed controler. Only have one run on it & still in the fine tuning stage, but I've already hit 54 MPH on my GPS. Pretty sure I can get mid 60s with the stock motor - it seems well made & looks like a Leopard motor. If it frys I'll put in a Leopard 2200KV in it, & work my way up.
Therefore, it's no load of bull. Just toss the stock plastic prop. JIMJIM MARCUM: NAMBA 777; EX?

The stock genesis motor is a 2075kv. And I don't think it will take 6s. 4s max.Comment

I ran mine on 5s and it ran in the low fifties with a x642 until the motor failed three runs in.white geico w/2200kv 3674 leopard 53.5mph 4s2p, geico w/ 1800kv outrunner 52mph on 4s2p, genesis w/2200kv castle 53.8 on 4s2p, impulse 31 w/2200kv castle, stock p1 and ul-1

If you have a look, when they claim those speeds, its NOT the stock ESC hahaha and you can barely see the motor
I hate to say it, but I think mine is / was doing about 71kmph on 4S packs, with the T180 and a 4074 2200KV, but ive changed to 5S and 2000KV, and single drive on that hull doing over 71kmph is pretty much out of control. In a Dam it might be allright, but out in the lake it wouldnt be safeComment

Also what size flexshaft is included in this kit?Prince 25 8XL,Delta force 29 8XL, SV27,Rio 51,Mini Rio,Stock Miss Geico m445,ERBE,Baja 5B SS, Hyper ST, Castle Emaxx.Comment

the stock setup is a 2 peice 4mm setup, the flex cable has a clamped square end that fits into another shaft peice that sits in the strut. seems to handle the 4S fine, but i changed mine to a 150 to 3/16 single peice, a lot smootherComment

Yup, the stock 4mm drive is a little weak. My 4mm prop shaft broke the first full throttle run on 6s...Pursuit: T-180, TP 4060/1620kv. Genesis: T-180, GoolRC 2000kv. UL-1: Bone stock. MHZ Tsunami: Full tilt SAW project!

jamespl is right - 6S is too much voltage for a 2200KV motor. My bad. 4S will get you 30,710 RPM, 5S will get you 38,387 RPM. I'd start with 4S and an Octura X637 & work up.

i will run my genesis with a 4082 and i am chaging the shaft with the octura .150 and 3/16.. the stock genesis came with the shaft as dow as possible.. is better to go up with the prop?Comment

I would seriosuly reconsidder using an entire 3/16 cable.
It would be a pain because you will most likely need to remove the strut and stuffing tube and then re do the entire thing.
Ive found that the collet onto the 150 size cable gives way a fair bit.
Ive just re cut mine.
you might not have issues if you use props smaller than the x642 thoughComment
