I hate to duplicate here but I offended another inadvertantly hi-jacking his specific thread. On subject I am open to opinions and variations away from specifics as I have learned a lot in forums even as they get off specific topics. I also understand searches and though this is my second post here I have probably read 20-30 hours of information on motors, batteries and ESC's.
Ok Brian Buaas has already commented in the other post and hope he fills in more here as he has experience with said motors. By the way Brian my friend Mike Z says your the man when it comes to FE.
So I have a 4082 leopard 2200kv on 4S1P and it runs very well on a Shaman Tunnel. I think were in the 55+mph range with an M445 and a 200A Swordfish. The only thing I feel we could improve is if a Nue 15151Y is under rated for wattage and the Leopard may be over rated. Any opinions on the relationship to wattage VS. motor efficiency here? Is the latter going to be easier on an ESC with similar prop load?
What I am looking for here is saving 4 oz of weight which high up on an light outboard tunnel for me is critcal to cornering and overall handling. The 1521 Nue has similar weight and length as the Leopard 4082 and I am sure has more power potential just getting into a higher price range. Any other suggestions welcome as I hear the 1520 and 1717 discussed but not sure of KV ratings and weight of motors.
Right now we are looking for configurations that are a step up from the "P" spec or limited class. Open FE Tunnel is run at Charleston and there will be more in Florida competing in the STORM series at Brandon. Open FE Tunnel should bring out some good competition between "P" & "Q" setups being built. With existing hulls availiable I am not sure that the lighter "P" won't work as well as the heavier "Q". Thats what racing is all about and who does thier homework.
