Miss geico v3 want 70mph what motor/esc

[Jkandler85]

I just got a miss g 29 and I want to run a 3674 x2 with a seaking 180 amp service. Can this work ?

I helped josh set his up last season. His runs 72. I can't speak for that motor but he has a castle 1518 1800kv with an abc 1815-17-45 prop on 6s. An alternate motor would be a tp 4050 1800ish kv. Seaking 180 would do it.

Jkandler is my good buddy and I think the boat is a v2? just to clear up any confusion, it has the rounded hatch and inline rudder. I will post a couple pictures later as I am picking it up for him! What kv motor should he run for 6s?

Thanks for the quick reply travis! He wants the 2650kv 3674 x2 leopard and I thought that kv was to high for 6s? They offer a 1900kv version to

1) I wouldn't do this to a v2. You'll see why. (If this is the wooden innards version)
2) that kv is DEFINITELY too high for 6s. 4s would be the choice for that but he needs to run two 4s packs in parallel to get the most out of it
3) if you haven't bought the motor yet, the tp 4050 would be a better choice.

Cool sounds good he wants to pull all the wood out and reinforce it and I know he wants it to be a 4s-6s boat lol

We got the miss geico stripped last night. We want to pour epoxy in the tips and transom Im just not sure how much to put in each tip? Maybe pour till its even with the front deck seam? Or is the kintec 2 part marine foam a better choice? Thanks
