Hey guys, new to RC boats(but not RC, I race 1/8 e-buggy and have had more RC cars than I can count) and just bought a bare hull Traxxas M41 cat to build up cause a buddy has a RTR one but I want mine to be faster!
Anyway, I wanted to see if you all could give me some guidance so I don't go and buy the wrong stuff to build it as far as electrics go....
- I currently have 2x SMC 4s 5200mah batteries I'd like to run in this thing, so 8S.... Any issues with that if I get a ESC that can support the power?
- Looking at the RCBB upgrades for it, looks like the motor cooler says it can support a 3674 size Leopard motor? v2?? and I see 1900kv and 2650wv options... What kv should I look at?
- ESC? Would the Swordfish Pro+ 200 amp - 8s lipo ESC with data logging work? or is there something better?
- Servo recommendations?
- Prop recommendations?
- Other words of wisdom?
Thanks,
Andy
