Leapord 4082 1800K or 1600K?

[BajaOutlaw33]

I have a genesis running a Turnigy 180, two 3s 6000 nano techs and I want my new $60 VXP VX4018/3 CNC 3 Blade 40mm 1.8p to run at it best. I ran it with my stock motor(2075k) and had way to much heat and I could not get full throttle. It had a hard time getting on plane(which I can fix). I knew that I would have a problem with the stock motor but Im not sure if the 1600k is to low.

1600kv is plenty, but the prop is definitely on the small side. Try a m445 and work up slowly from there.

Yup. rum is right...
Also, The stock 2075 kv motor is a paper weight. Pos
