    Motor swap

    I am changing out motor and esc going with the swordfish 200a and a leopard motor. Can't decide between the 3674 2650kv or 4074 2000kv. Pretty much witch is faster of the two still learning about the motors. Will the 4074 motor fit in the mc. Want to run up to 6s and want it to be able to do some crazy speeds
    Thanks

    Neither are a good choice for 6s. The 4074 should fit, but you will want to add support for the rear of the motor.

      What is the highest cell you can run with those motors? what kind of speed can I get with that setup do you think ? Any suggestion on a affordable motor that I can run 6s I wanted to run 2 3s batts everyonce in a while but mainly 2 2s

        Why not just keep the stock motor and upgrade the esc?

            i think that by changing the speed control to a 125,putting the 5.5 bullets on everything and using 5 cells, the boat should run all day in the mid to upper 50,s without breaking and replacing parts all the time and still have a very controlable boat.

                I'd be careful with "crazy" speed in that hull. Doesn't look like there is too much room for center of gravity adjustment. She might blow over a bit too easy with speeds approaching and upwards of 60mph. Just my opinion, as I don't own a Motley Crew.

                  you would use 1 3 cell and 1 2 cell. i dont think that the mc or the mg are 60 mph boats. even though there are a lot of guys running 60s with a miss geico its just not made to do that for any length of time before they start coming apart. imo i think they can both run mid 50's but the motley is much easier to obtain those speeds without spending a lot of $$$$. again, i own both boats and the motley is the bang for the buck.

                      2000 is a lot of kv for a single drive. It's even a hot setup for a twin.( which would be sweet by the way ).
