[crazyhorse]

I have had racing Gas and Nitro riggers and Hydros for over 30 years. I am building up my 1sr electric OutRigger (JAE 45 FE). Am looking into motors I am looking into leopard 4082 vs the TP 4070. Not sure which way to go help is needed thank you.

I have just watched your vids your boats look real good. Thank you for your help Raydee

The Tppower 4070 is a 92mm motor so the equivalent Leopard is the 4092 .I have tried both on my twin rigger and had better performance with the Tp's. I also built a Jae GT 45 nitro and for this size boat you have to stick to the Tp4070.Gill

Thank you so much for that helpful info Sir..what esc would be a good fit for my boat I was thinking of the ZTW 200Amp. thank you once again.

[grsboats]

You re welcome and all depends on how many cells and kv's are you inttending to use.My set up is Tppower's 4070 2080kv with a pair of Sf 300 lite on 6S....one correction the TP 4070 is 100mm not 92mm.Accordingly to my datalogging turning Octura's V947 (3,5 cup) amps are under control for few fast passes and to help I installed a micro waterpumo to cool down motor's/esc's.Hope this help you.

I was thinking of a Tp 1700kv on 6S single battery pack 5400 mah and I was checking out the ZTX 200 amp esc. What do you think of that combo Sir.

[rol243]

1700kv is about maximum safe kv,s for 6s oval running or things will get hot, around 1500 is better plus you can go lower in your esc amps . guys in my club are using 150 and 180 amp esc,s in there sport hydros on 6s and especially in a rigger where these hulls run very light you can go lower in amps.

This rigger is pretty big to be running 6s battery . I was surprised how big this boat is its about the size of my gas rigger but with skinny sponsons. My s6 battery looks tiny beside it my battery is SMC 6S 5400 MAH 90C rating.

Wow nice 6S riggers ty 4 the info

[grsboats]

Thanks Rol for your support and I would stick to the Tppower 1520kv with a SF 240 to run on 6S 2p.Last year I built a SGX converted to FE with this combo and the guy has won some races with zero issues.I have no experience with the ZTX esc's but considering this motor has a max amp 230 I think a 240 amp esc will be on the safe side.Gill
