Genesis twin 6xl setup

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A GENESIS TWIN WITH 3674 2770kv 6xl motors! LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON ESC AND LIPOS TO USE! THINKING 120 OR 180 ESC AND SOME 6S 5000MAH 40C LIPOS! ANY ADVICE ON SETUP AND WHAT TO USE WOULD BE GREATLY APPREACIATED!

Id run 3s per motor !!

Was that the E-Bay Genesis........6S on a 6xl motor= if that what the original owner was running, I suspect the motors could be stressed and not have much life left in them.

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I am shootn for 70 plus and 3s wont get me there i dont think!

[Doby]

Are you looking just to do SAW running (one or two passes over a few seconds each) or trying to get some decent run time as well?

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I want to do both! I have some 4s witch i wanted to do most running with, hopefully high 50 to low 60! And then the 6s for saw runs hopefully touch 70! What r thoughts? Should i remove the motors and run something different?

Twin 10xl's or two Leopard 4082 1500kv on 5-6s each should do the trick. Just FYI, the Genesis doesn't like anything over 65mph, around 70mph they take flight, how do i know,..... It happened to me with a single Castle 1717, T-180 on 6s and a x 645 prop.

I can do 60mph on 4s in my Revo
but running more than 4s on those motors in a boat, could be asking for smoke
and I would think SAW only?

[Dangerous_Toys]

If my calcs are right, 6s on those motors is 61494 rpm's. Those motors will . I would have to agree with Brad and go with the 10XL or the Leopards. JMO

[Rumdog]

lol.

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I want to get some run time on it before i start upgradeing! From what im hearing 6s is out of the question! Do i need to stick to 4s or would i be ok with 5s?

[Doby]

4S will be pushing 40,000 RPM.......those are really 3S Motors.

Start with 3s

Are you the Legendary Reggie Fountains grandson?If so,thats awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jeff Wohlt]

I can't believe those 3026 HK motors are holding up but they sure are screaming on 7 and 8S! and only 80 amp ESCs.

Looks like a cheap way to go just on 6S

[blackcat26]

Jeff I think he finally smoked one or both of those 80 amper's. I thought they were kinda small.

[RFOUNTAINIII]

Yes reggie fountain is my dad! I have a couple of aeromarine gas cats! This is my first electric! Just tryn to get some info and feedback on what i should use!

[LarrysDrifter]

Thats cool.Stick around here and you will learn quite a bit.There are a lot of very smart and nice people here that are always willing to help.
As far as your
Genesis goes,Id run it on 3s with those motors.4s would be a "hot"set up for drag race type runs.If your wanting 70mph,Id get some higher quality motors such as Leopard 3674.I think this is the site-www.leopardhobby.com.Here is a mild 6s twin set up too-Leopard 4082 1500kv with 180 amp escs from Turnigy or SeaKing.With these motors,I think youll be in the mid fifties and be able to prop up to compensate for kv.70mph is pushing it.60mph is usually the limit for an rc hull.Either way,you should re-inforce the hull as its quite thin.

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I already have some 4s 5000mah 50c lipos! Should i be ok running them? Would like to get used to the setup and then upgrade after i get some run time! Any idea what 4s might get me speed wise?

[Brushless55]

Running twin 6XL on 4s will be fast, that's for sure..
I bet mid 60s or better
I did try my 6XL in my MM on 4s and it snapped the shaft within 10sec!
But it was sure fast for those 10sec...

[RFOUNTAINIII]

I think im gonna try the 4s and see what happens! I havent got it yet, look forward to running it! Another question i dont have the boat so i dont know what room im gonna have but i have one castle 1717, how would it run with a pair of them?

[blackcat26]

There may not be enough room for the 1717's. If there was i think with batteries etc/ she would be too heavy.
