motor choice big $ or little $ ?

[62 bugzilla]

I was going to upgrade my motor and speed control and needed input. Speed control choices cheapest to most $ mystery 200 amp , xpower 100, hydra 120 or ? motor 7xl , 8xl, ammo 2300 or 2600 or the black can and I can't find a spec sheet on them to even have a # for ya. Cheapest 55.00 mystery and ammo or xl around 60 to 70 or big time hydra 120 180.00 and black can 200.00 plus ????I'm a sport pond racer for fun factor and ooos and awwwsss. Thanx for the input. I will be running lipos and already have cooling upgrades, radio upgrade and props to play with.

For the "budget" factor I would suggest the xpower100A esc and the ammo. Im not sure if OSE carries a cooling can for those but I believe there are threads that will help with that. As always with new setups start with small prop like a 40mm carbon.

A feigao 11L and x-power 100 will get you going. If you go to a feigao xl I would suggest a hydra 120

[calcagno45]

you suggest 4s on the 11l also?

[Mich. Maniac]

11L in my opinion would be kinda hot for the sv. I would REALLY suggest a small prop to begin with on that setup. Especially with 4S. I am running the xl with hydra 120A esc. with carbon 45mm prop

[Steven Vaccaro]

There are a few people running the 11L setup. Its a bit less rpm than a ammo 2300, but the 11L has more beef/torque.

[62 bugzilla]

Could I run the x power 100 with the ammo and if I went with the 120 would the 7 xl or the ammo be a better choice?

[Steven Vaccaro]

The XL is the best of them. The x-power will handle the ammo or 11L.

If you are going to run lipo, run a 2s setup with a 5000 kv motor for the best speeds. The two fastest supervees at the Saws were running that setup. If you don't car about running that fast, I would just run the ammo 2300 motor. that as more than enough power for the boat to handle

Thats just insane. I would take it a "L" size 5k motor? WOW! thats

[62 bugzilla]

Wow that sounds interesting. What mah lipos and c rating would that need and speedo options which I'm assuming is more than 120 amps. Last question would it go the same speed with a 2500kv motor and 4s lipo since it works out to the same rpm or is it the fact you have half the weight fot batterys for the same mah.?.?

[obrien]

From what Herb told me, I am assuming it was due to the loss of weight. You would most likely need to run a hydra 240 or similar to be able to run that setup. So it wouldn't be cheap to do. Just remember, that was a SAW setup, so typical running probably wouldn't be that great with that setup.

The fastest sv on record was run by Reed Eagle. He ran a 2s setup with a Neu motor.
