Upgrading the Zonda Cat with new Motors

[Heaving Earth]

Twin 4082 might be a bit much. Maybe go for 4074

I shouldn't say this really because what's more important is what kv you use, what cell count, which prop etc... 4082 would be fine

Dude, get rid of those square drives

[Mecka1990]

i think about 2000-2200 kv because its a twindrive and one motor helps the other, i will pull less amps then a singledrive, 5s lipos (18,5v) for a 20v motor is ok i think, 200 amps plus ish x2 will carry that all, going for 45mm to 48mm props (checking temps first with 45mm) i dont want 10 minutes drivetime, i just want to see whats the max speed on this hull with this setup with a 40mm motor :)

[Mecka1990]

cant, i woud but i cant get rid of them, the whole boat is build squaredrived ;( everything filled with epoxy, stinger brass tube, brasstube holder here you can see the boat, jan from kintec sells it to: http://kintecracing.com/Zonda_Cat.html

The place that sells the Zonda cat sells 4 pole 4074 2200kv motors with coolers for about $60 each I think.....

Just in case you haven't looked... at HOR that is.....

[Mecka1990]

i know, but the brand..... i like leopard motors, sss is not my favorit, tp is ok but expensive, but why go for 4074? the money for 2x leo 4082 i got, and i think they are the best choice in the 40mm´s

[ray schrauwen]

Go for it then. Great motors Leo's. Mock up a 4082 to make sure it fits!

Up to you man, the 4074 motors on HOR's site will do the job but when you trying to achieve the highest possible top speed, the 4082 motor will spin a larger prop on the same voltage.
