5s Pursuit run, Leopard 4074 2200kv

[Make-a-Wake]

Just playin around with my Pursuit that i race with my local buddies on 4s. Got a wild hair and threw 2s x 3s 40c 5000 lipos in her..............quite a blast.

Dare i try 6s...................i think yes

Looks good! You could definitely get it in the 60s on 5s if you got it out of the water a little more.

[Rumdog]

Very nice! That Pursuit looks to be a good running hull!

Ever try the m445 prop? Might get going faster

[Make-a-Wake]

Thanks guys...........didnt put a whole lot of thought into CG and so forth with the run........just placed the 3s on the port side at about the same place i run the 2s.

I think an M445 may be a tad large for 5s............??????

For a 6s run i'm gonna try an x440 to be safe......................bet it hits 70...............????

[Rumdog]

Hard to say. The 440 may cavitate too much. Definately start there though. She's gonna rip!

Hard to say just because your voltage drop is going to change too...running the smaller prop will help. I run a m440 on my 32" cat and it seems like a huge prop at high RPMs (40,000 actual). Very little cavitation at all. You can easily flip it at low speeds if not carefull with the throttle.
I think your cg was fine and I would probably run it that way too(Im not crazy about flipping and crashing my boats either). I was just saying 59 mph was really moving for running that solid in the water

Thanks again guys......................i'm gettin a kick out of messin with it, always ran it on 4s and was very fun there, got to get "out of the box" every now and then for kicks................. I'll still be racing with my local buddies on 4s.

[Brushless55]

that is cool man!
nothing like a little wow factor now and again

[Make-a-Wake]

Thanks Todd........................ I just figured out the average amp draw based on the the mah i put back into the batts, comes out to 91 amps.............i figure the straight aways at WOT were in the 120a range.................2400 watts or so.

[Brushless55]

right on man!
I hope to wow the gas guys at there next race in about 4 weeks with my OBL on 5 and 6s

What prop are you running in the video?

[osprey21]

I made a 6s run with my Pursuit (4074 2000Kv with T180 and back-cut M445) last weekend - sorry no GPS or video, but the thing was a freakin' rocket. Not something I would make a steady diet of as temps were high, but man, what a blast!

[Steven Vaccaro]

Nice!
