Looking for a motor upgrade for J.A.E. .21 FE .

[Andris Golts]

Hi all just upgraded the JAE to a Futaba 3PV radio system and a Seaking 180 amp V3 esc to use on 4s 1p 5000 mah 65c lipos i was going to install a Leopard 3674 2200 kv motor that a club memder ordered for me back in Jan never got the motor or heard from the gentle men that ordered it and ose has no more in stock . Im presently using the AQ 2030 kv gold motor pushes the rigger at 47 mph with a x445 prop. Space allows upto 3674 size motors im looking to getting to the 65-70 mph speed range using the SK 180 amp esc. Is this possible? What are my motor options ? Is 2200 kv a good pick for this hull ? And last off all a motor that OSE sells? Regards Andris Golts.

A gentlemen on Elite RC Boats facebook group was selling a Keps 4s rigger (similar layout I assume to the JAE you have)
He had the following setup and a video as well:

i have the same set up with a XK 3674 - 2200 kv / 180 esc and 4500 -4s lipo / abc h7 prop. building another jae 21/fe which will be fitted out with a TP 4050 - 2310 kv / 180 esc. this motor will fit the tub well but not sure if the zippkits motor mount will take its diameter so i will be making my own mount for this motor. don,t go too big on the lipo size / weight as originally the build review by Doug Smock mentioned to stay no heavier than a 5000 pack for correct 60 / 40 cog.

Set up for heat racing my JAE runs 12-second laps on the 1/6mile course and tops out in the high 70s on the straights. My setup:

Castle 1415/1Y 2400 Kv
Castle ICE 200 watercooled aircraft ESC
Dinogy 4S-5000 mAh 65C pack
ABC H-7 cupped

Thanks Jay

Would be nice to get a 5mm shaft on that motor though..

They always show them with 1/8th shafts. Anyway. I still can't find any non sensored versions with 5mm shaft. They made some years ago but I haven't seen one like that for years. Castle Discontinued them and I only see them with 1/8th shafts on Ebay.

you can buy step up collets that go from 1/8 to 3/16.
