    Leopard 4074 with Seaking 120A

    I want to upgrade my Miss Geico with a Leopard 4074, 2000 kv motor. I already have a Seaking 120A installed and don't want to have to buy a new ESC. Can this ESC handle the Leopard?

    It's risky. You may be ok if you prop accordingly.
    A 3674 might be a better choice

        I run a 3674 in one of my geicos and it rips but I'm using the 180a.
        Running a 642 prop the temps are below 100 on the motor and esc and the batts are in the low 120s.

            kv?

            I really appreciate your time. If I run 5S would I use a lower kv? Which do you think would give me the most speed?
