how does a 1717 compare to...

[ls1fst98]

I have 2 t600 1400kv outrunners, I was wondering how these stacked up to a castle 1717 1580kv motor. both run on 6s. I was searching old threads and found a 50" expresscraft with twin 1717 and turnigy 180 esc's running 6s2p per side. was hitting 60mph which to me was plenty fast. I can get thehull local as they are not too far from my house.

or should i ask, what is a comparable motor to the 1717 one a relative budget.

1717 is the Budget Motor.

the boat is 16.5 wide and weighs 9lbs empty.
he had it running very well on that setup in my opinion and id love to duplicate it. only reason i asked about hte t600 is i have 3 of them here.

FastVee likes using those outrunners a lot of the time,
Take a look at some of the builds he has done on hear.
Hears a new one and right up your alley.

But if I did that I'd think that having 20,000w of power would allow me to get the hull I'd really want, the 72" classone skater. But I can dream.
