    Twin CC1512 1800KV in a 32 cat

    I cant recall anyone using 2 CC1512 is a 32" cat but it could be done. However the question is why unless its for the challenge portion of a build. Its not so much about the power those 2 motors generate, but more about fitting a more appropriately size can that would fit inside the sponsons. 36mm cans would be more correct to the inside limit /restrictions for mounting. And honestly you are not going to be able to put the power 2 1512 motors have into the water. Twin props on a 32" cat will end up being maybe 42mm max? I doubt you even need them that big. A pair of 36mm cans on 4S each can push 40mm props no problem to some very respectable speeds. I dont want to talk you out of a project but seems like a bit overkill IMO. If you want the lower Kv motors in the 1800Kv range and run a 5S or even a 6S setup run times become a factor. And a 32" hull is not all that big once you have to get your hands inside to make changes or even perform maintenance. Just my 2 cents.

      I know that they will be a bit tight, just wondering if it's been done. Maybe these motors would be better suited for my twin genesis? Any idea on what esc I should use? I like the t180 but they are a bit big, the t120 are nice but I don think they will be big enough for the motors...

          Fightercat has the Twin 240 ESC.There is no way you will hit 120 amps on each motor in a 32" hull.Well,don't hold me to that,you could jam a prop or something.

          You could go with FC 160's to be safe,they aren't large.
