Motor swap

[bbosncali]

I tried like 6 motors in my mg before I found the right one 4074 2200 4082 1250 tacon 4074 2000 cc1512 1800 and my cc1518 1800 which hands down was worth every penny. I paid $140 for a new one and jacket and then bought another new one for a steal for $80 which is currently going in my genesis which will be running this weekend so I'm expecting great results. I also added a wire drive to my mg didn't gps it cause it was dead but boy she looked even faster.

Not really worth it pay the extra $10v and get 400 watts more its a great motor on 4s

What I want is long run times but faster than stock

What I want is long run times but faster than stock

which is why i say try the leopard 3674 2000kv or 2200kv

[Mike whiting]

And what esc sorry still learning haha

[LarrysDrifter]

Mike, I have a new in box 180 amp esc that will be perfect in your boat. Dana's suggestion is very good. Perfect motor/esc combo.

[Mike whiting]

Is that the seeking?I like that idea to I think going with that setup what size lipos can I run up to

[LarrysDrifter]

It's badged as Turnigy, but same exact esc. Only the sticker is different. They are rated 2-6s lipo. I'll sell it for $105.70 shipped and do pay pal as a gift. It's new, never used.

Thanks for the offer but I don't have paypal. I am going to order the 3674 2200kv so I am just going to order the seaking 180a with the program card 5.5mm bullets. What kind of water jacket would be good? So does the higher the kv mean shorter run time but faster

[Mike whiting]

If you haven't checked the video sections in a while I posted a gopro video on the mc It's a little heavy up front and I drive in rough water makes it fun I still need to get a editing program so I can make the video good check it out

I don think the 3674 will be a direct fit replacement, take a look at the distance between the stock motor and the hatch, its very close, and the 3674 is 74mm long, which is 18mm longer than the stock 3656 AQ motor, so just be prepared to move that mount if need be.

FYI- I'm swapping my power out of my MC as well, i went with a T180 esc and going to test with a typhoon 1800kv outrunner and also have a kd3674 9xl to try as well, i plan on running 4s1p and 5s1p (3s+2s) x642 prop.

[Mike whiting]

It is a tight fit in there I wonder if flipping motor mount around would make it fit

[6sHyper]

It will get you another 8.5mm's, which might be enough, cross your fingers!!

[Mike whiting]

I was looking at water jackets don't really know witch one to get

[v-spec]

I have the leopard 4074 2200kv and swordfish 200 in mine, everything fits fine, plenty of room with motor mount flipped around.
