    Suitable ESC to a Leopard motor?

    Hi!

    I'm looking for a suitable ESC to my setup:

    - Leopard 3674 (1400 Kv)
    - 6S
    - Octura x442

    I was thinking a SeaKing 180A ESC or a ETTI Race 150 Brushless ESC. Perhaps they are a bit overkill?!

    Overkill is always good. I like the T180. Haven't used an Etti yet.

            I run this exact setup in a Blackjack 29 with either an X442 or a cupped S215. The Sea King 180 esc is great and runs cool with tnat power combo.

              I run 1600kv 6s with a variety of props, from 440 all the way to 645 using a swordfish 200amp lv for the last year or so without any issue.

                    @Champion221elite, what timing have you set in the ESC?
