6.5mm vs 8mm Bullets

[PlayerUnknown069]

I am currently setting up my OM Carbon Dominator aka DYMotorShop mono hull and have a question about connectors.

Going 6s 5200mah 125C maybe 9500mah if I?m risky with the weight and because I have them.

ZTW Seal 200 amp 6D
TP Power 4060 1950kv
Max Amps (A): 192
Max Volt (V): 30.3
Continuous Power (W): 2350
Max Power (W): 5000

I have a set of Castle 6.5mm bullets and Castle 8mm bullets. Honestly, 8mm bullets on 10awg wire seems a little overkill to me? I will have to copper wrap the wire to fill some of the gap.

All my batteries have EC5 and I was thinking of switching to Castle 6.5mm polarized? Switching to 8mm connectors is a pain.

What do you all recommend I should go with?

Castle https://www.castlecreations.com/en/cc-bullets-6-5mm says they're good for 200A, I'd go ahead & use them.
Yes 8 mm is a bit overkill unless u go to 300+A, Although math says 400A!!

I use 6mm & go to 150A no problems.

Thank you! Anyone else on here?

Im about as newb as possible but I just put 8mm on my 150a flycolor for my first ever build. I figured the bigger the better. I just filled them with solder and dipped the 10awg wire in.

6S on a 1950KV motor = 45,600 RPM =

PS 1950 KV is a very good 4S setup.

Calculator has me at 38k under loaded on 6s which is just over the 35k recommended max RPM. I?ll be running conservative 42mm - 45mm props for small ovals. I don?t push the ESC riding on full throttle for a full battery. It?s just short straights before getting into the turns. Besides, even ProBoat has a 1900kv in the Sonicwake running on 6S with poor cooling to say the least. All on a 120 amp ESC.

I could test with 4s and see how it does then go from there. Thank you!

I have seen a Zonda Cat guy run two TP 1950kv on the stock Seaking 120 amps. Shocked it didn?t burn up but it?s possible if you don?t care enough 😅.

A fully charged cell is 4.2V
Under load lets say 3.9V
3.9 X 6 = 23.4 volts
23.4v X 1950kv = 45,600 RPM

I have only been doing this for 25 years.
Go ahead and do it your way, after you burn a few things up like the rest of us did when we started out,
you may start paying attention.
1950 KV is a 4S motor in a Mono.

Jump off your high horse you little firecracker, I don?t want you all upset now. I never disagreed or said you were wrong. I am simply sharing with you the OSE calculator I was using and what it says when you put in the values as described. In that case, you should take all this negative energy and contact OSE about it.

I?m with Larry. But you know you don?t have to run 4s or 6s you can run 5S. Everyone always thinks you have to run an even amount of cells you can run odd number amounts too. I have some boats that I run 5S.7s and 9s.

Just some food for thought. And I got five years on Larry.

Yeah 5s could be an options. Considering I have a lot of 6s single packs, at this point I am considering selling or trading my 1950kv for something lower kv.

Thanks for the help!

If you do run it on 4S, I would recommend an ABC -1915 - 17 - 2 prop.

Larry, can you share a link? I can?t seem to find one.
