FighterCat Cheetah Build

[sampit]

Hi
I have been banging my head as to what to do to power the Cheetah for the last few weeks

I thought it would be best to start a new post as the prevoius one got a bit off topic

I have spoke with a few members on here and have been advised to run this as a single motor setup using a Leo or TP 4082 1250kv/1600kv 6s
but would like any advise before I start to build it.
my goal is sport running 60mph+ with a good bit of run time
I have a FC 8S 300a ESC and an etti 150A 6s esc,if needed for the single setup, or the new FC 150A twin motor esc if i go for a twin setup
I will need to buy the hardwear and maybe lipos and motors if what i have is not up to it
i also have a pair off FC Mono stingers that Ben sent me, but i find they do not fit.
4 x 4000mah 3s 35/70c packs and 2 x 4000mah 4s packs
i have a Leopard 4074 1400kv and if needed will buy a second one if i go twin if you think this would be the right move or a new pair of motors maybe Scoprion outrunners?
no expense spared on this build.
post a few new pictures of the hull next
any advise greatly appreciated

just checked out Ryans Neat FE setup calculator
says use a 4092 1390kv 6s

Great response!

[iamandrew]

sorry dood, what are you wanting the hull to do? are you looking for top speed or somthing? is that an apparition hull next to it? how well do the packs fit in the sponsons? Of how wide it looks it might be fine/good running just a single motor

[sampit]

Sport running only will be the goal, and around 55/60mph with good run times
the sponsons are masive,in the Cheetah, i can fit two 4s 4000mah packs on top of each other each side, everthing i put in it looks lost
yes its next to a Appartion hull, the motor mount is not fixed in the APP so it looks a bit crocked
i think im going to go with a single setup, to keep it simple.

[sampit]

Looks like weight isn't a problem
Bens building one with twin 4092. 1610kv motors
Scary fast

Looks great man. Obviously you work in a paint shop, is it a code? Or something you just mixed up?

[dana]

Oh and if I were you, I would over power it, have some fun man

[sampit]

It will look even beter when i add some grapics.

still no idea what setup to run it on?

twin Leopard 4074 1400kv 6s/7s
twin Leopard 3674 2200kv 4s
single TP Power 4082 1600kv 6s
single Leopard 4082 1250kv 6s
single 4092 1050kv 8s
single 4092 1300kv 8s
having problems fitting the stingers, so might have to go for a single setup.and save me the haslle.

Would the FC twin esc 150A be OK for twin 4082 1600kvs and 42 cr props?

why not buy a single neu motor 1 1521 or 1527 if you were going to spend the money on 2 motors and less headache

[sampit]

Steveo
Nice one,thats the answer i was waiting for.
loads less headache building a single especially to a newbe builder like me.
1521 or 1527 anyone got one for sale? I might be able to sleep tonight.

[Rumdog]

Yup. 1527 1.5d on 5s with a x455, or 6s with a x648 will make it rock and roll.
