    Motor setup on 41" Fantasm

    I am sort of new in the FE boat world, I have a spartan that run as good as it gets, being all stock.
    I just acquired a 41" Fantasm, with all the hardware for twins. I have searched and ready 7 pages hear on OSE. I have tied to condense the knowledge down, but its a lot of stuff to keep straight.

    This will be a sport boat, what I want to achieve,

    Long run times,
    Speed 60mph good enough at this point
    4S-6S battery


    What I have.
    I have 1 seeking 180esc.

    I have a CC2028 and CC200HV to sale or trade for a setup for the Fantasm


    Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

    I am doing one right now. http://www.kbbforums.com/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=1160

    Going with 4083 TPower motors. 4074's or 4092's would work as well but I think the bigger motors will draw more amps or at least that is my experience.

    Rule of thumb, more voltage= more run time, On a given setup with lower KV motor. Not saying to jump to HV but 6s and 1400 KV'ish would be good.

      There are two of these in my club.

      1st - twin 1500kv with seaking 180's pushing CNC 850/3 blades, I think he gps'd at 78 maybe he got to 80mph.

      2nd is a Stock Zonda (CF) with the stock 3674 2075kv motors, Seaking 180's he runs it on 6s with a pair of CNC445 or 448/2, He's in the mid 70's (this one is a screamer)

      Both these guys do a few passes and pull out, they run 1P per side, if you were to run 2p per side and maybe push some smaller props, you should achieve Higher run times and be somwhere in the 60's.

      I'd go with Lower Kv Set-ups. Running 2000+kv at 22v is a lot, although these guys do it here and have had little problems.

        I built this for SAW runs. Here is some testing on 6s with 1680kv motors.
