MC Build, Castle 2400kv set-up and suggestions.

[704Authentic]

I'm about to install the following in a MC: (as soon as soldering tips arrive)

Castle 1415 2400kv
Seaking 180
(2) 4500mah 2s 50-100c
All on 6.5 bullets
42x55 prop (starting point)
(will eventually foam and carbon interior later, if needed)

I'm sure this has been done before, someone on here...
What top speed can I expect? Best Prop? Temps?
Is this a good set-up? Looks good to me, but.
Looking for suggestions and trying to minimize future situations.

All information is appreciated. Thanks,

Speeds Will be Uhm..... Much faster than stock. Somewhere in the mid to high 50's I think.
Did you grab a 1/8 motor collet for it? Stock one ain't gonna work

Got it -thanks. Is it gonna get hot?

Now tell me how things are with factory flex shaft? Can I run the boat without fear that it will come off?

Up grade stock shaft - OSE has them.

Got it -thanks. Is it gonna get hot?

It will if you run too long, it depends on how you run and the attitude of the boat. Check temps often at first. Set the timing at 15 degrees.

I would buy a shaft for Steven, but it does not send to Russia!

Guessing 4-5 mins. run times, gonna run full power as much as posssible and as dry as possible. :)
15 degress? Motor is new, is that a good break in setting? or does it even matter...

[Heaving Earth]

15 degrees is correct. Much of the heat generated is when the battery voltage starts to drop, so try to limit your runs between 3-4 minutes tops and check temps

When connecting Bullets in a series, for first time, I got a little confused. (Sometimes it doesn't take a lot.)
Looking for the Best/Most Common procedure.

1) ESC positive, negative wires are what male,female connectors?
2) Battery 1 positive, negative wires are what male,female connectors?
3) Battery 2 positive, negative wires are what male,female connectors?
4) I guess at this point the jumper wire between batteries (neg. to pos.) is obvious.?

There must be a simple formula somewhere. But, Please don't make it look to easy:)
Thanks in advance - again.

Mine
Esc - black is female, red is male
Batteries - black is male, red is female
Connect esc black to black on pack 1
Red to red pack 2
Then connect the two packs together red to black

Picked up a deal on a "lightly used" Leo 4074 - 2000kv.
With top speed & handling being the goals,
do I use it,
or would you stick with the Castle 1415 2400kv.

Thanks,
