Hi all i have a JAE .21 FE im installing a Leopard 3674 2200 KV motor on 4s power . I have a Seaking 120 amp esc is this enough amp rating ? What size prop should i be using ? What kind of speed should i be getting? Regards Andris Golts.

Hi Andris this set up is partially ok for your Jae. A 120esc for this motor in my opinion is ok for short runs but I would sitck to a 150 or 180A to be on the safe side depending on props.Octura 1450 reduced to 46mm is a good prop and expect 60's and more with no problems.Gill

I'm building one with the same motor now...I'm running a SK180....I don't trust the 120, because of voltage spikes. The SK180 has a spike rating of over 1,000Amps I believe.

I'll share my experience, once I get it finished. It's about 90% complete. I'm pretty excited. It should RIP! There's a real good video on the TUBE of a JAEFE with same motor.

Chad The SK 180 is overrated at 1000A......consider it just 360 like the previous version and expect higher temps compared with the older but it works good.Gill
