180 amp seaking esc, turnigy 4.0 lipos (4000 mah) , leopard 1774& 1400 kv motors....

Hey guys just wondering if the turnigy 4000s will be good enough for tht setup .... I'm gonna use the 1774 kv motor first and start with a s215 prop, or I was thinking of getting the x440 , I believe thts wt a couple people on here recommended..... Now I have 2 4000s, (had& still also have venom 6400s but was told they're not great for boats..... I believe tht, so my ultimate question is do I get 2 more of those and do a series, parallel setup? Or maybe just run 2 batteries and i'n the future get 2 5000 turnigys? I already have the cooling mods along with a dual pickup speedmaster rudder , it is alittle longer/bigger than the stock rudder... Got it off of ose..... Thanks guys for any advice.....

Btw, the rudder is 6 1/4 " long with a 4 " setback.....

The 4000's will work fine, just shorter running time. I saw someone recently got 2 6000ma 6s batteries and a traxxas parallel plug. That way he just ran the 2 6s batteries and was getting 12000ma!!! Less weight than the series parallel setup with the 3s, plus it's cheaper to buy 2 6s batteries than 4 3s batteries. I'm going to try it with my new motor and esc when they come in.

Nice!!! So if I did get 2 more 4 cell turnigys I would be able to do tht i'n series/parallel? And you don't think it'll be too heavy? And the 440/3 prop would be ideal?

I've been told as long as they are the same batteries with the same c rating there should be no issue doing a series parallel. Some say the extra weight might help stability, but there will probably be a sacrifice in top speed.

Ok thanks and yes they're cell matched 4000s and 40c.... Thanks alot!

no problem, the x440 and prather 215 are good prop for the stock motor, if you go to a bigger motor and esc people are running the x445, the x645 and the prather 225

Ok yeah I have the sealing 180 & the leopard 1774 &sldo the 1400kv motor& will be running the 1774 kv first.... I'm gonna try to get pics i'n here when I get it together ... Just waiting fir wire and the connectors for the batteries and speed controller.... Lol

Wt about using the x447/3 prop with leopard 1774& a 1400 kv motor? I kno I'll def have to watch the temps when running the 1774kv & the x447/3 prop...

kinda like over at traxxas
the 47mm is a little big for the 1774kv motor, that prop could work great on the lower 1400kv motor without heat issues

Ok thanks!!!
