32" Pursuit/FC Bling Rocket build questions

[hosko]

Let me start by saying I'm new to boats but have been racing 1/10 touring cars for years.

I've been doing some research and the 32" Bling rocket from FighterCat is ticking all the boxes. I have a few questions on the electronics side. I'm planning on running a T180A ESC in 4s and 6s (I already own 2s and 3s batteries and I'd like to not have to buy more). I'm looking at the Leopard 4082 Motor however I'm not sure which Kv version would be best for my build. I haven't read many on here running 6s. I don't plan to race mine as there is no clubs around here. I'm looking at mostly running 4s but jumping up to 6s for a speed run.

Also what size servo would be best?

I have more questions about putting it all together but I'm just getting my shopping list sorted first.

Thanks

1600 kv will work well for both 4 and 6s

With a 440 prop?

Im going to be running 4S and I got the 2000KV 4074. I would look into 2000-2200 Kv. 2000Kv is the most a 4082 comes in though.

Mine also has 4s2p packs. You will need to buy batteries... Otherwise your run times are going to be very short.

OSE store has the 4082 - 2200kv custom wound.

if you are going to be bouncing from 4s to 6s power, then a motor with1600KV like Rumdog said would be a good choice.
also make sure your batteries are up to the task. (40C rating needed) 20 to 30C rating is a bit on the week side.

Rather small, especially for a powerhouse of a motor you plan on running. Maybe on 6s, but on 4s way to small. A 2p setup would be much MUCH better also!!! JMHO

What would you be suggesting. I've quickly learnt 2p is the way to go. Now I'm having to think if the extra weight of 6s is better then 5s.

I would go 4082 2000kv 4s and start with an m445. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on that exact motor for my pursuit.

Thanks guys I have just pulled the trigger on a Leo 4082 1600Kv with a T180A esc powered by 2P Turnigy nano-tech 5000mah 5S 35~70C Lipo Packs.

I'm leaning towards the m445 or the m447. I've never balanced a prop before is it very difficult? I've balanced tiers on my RC cars but that involves adding weight not subtracting.

This might help.
