Motor/ESC recommendation

[steves86ta]

Hi All,

I just picked up a Blackjack 26 and am planning on doing a full build including a carbon fiber inlay.

I am getting ready to make an order on Hobby King that i dont mind waiting a long time for. And with this project coming up soon, i want to try to get a motor/esc recommendation. They are cheap and this isnt a race boat i just play when i take my real boat out. So i dont care to much about high end quality

What i am thinking for an esc is around the 120 amp range.

I have no clue for motor. But i will be running mainly on 4s possibly up to 6s. Im thinkinkg aboud the 12-1500 kv range? Correct me if i am wrong.

Thank you in advance
steve

My buddy has this motor in his geico on a 6s setup,

But he is using a 130a HV Seaking esc.
He love the motor and price to.
My be you could use the 1650kv on,
But 6s in that hull I am not to sure about the hull you have.
Do you have any pictures of you boat or a link to one ?

Ok,
From what I have seen and read they do not handle the best.
But I guess with the right modding it may do a little better,
May be with some added weight of the bigger cells and the right setup it will ride better to.

mabey try a seaking one 120 and a 1700kv leopard im getting ready to put that setup in my mg rand great in a revolt on 4s and 5s but i dont think it will work on 6s very because of heat

You would need to start with medium size prop,
For 6s setup and do 1 minute run and check temps on everything.
Than move up in prop size if temps are good and check again.
