Back in the hobby after 20 years. I need help in understanding electrics. Hoping some folks can lend some thoughts. I'm trying to understand the relationship of batteries to ESC to motor. My batteries are 5000Mah, 50C, 3 cell. I run 2 in series for 6s. Specifically I have a new TFL Pursuit carbon fiber with Seaking 180A, need to purchase a motor. The prop is 42mm 1.6 pitch. Is there a math formula that would help in understanding the relationship or can someone put it in layman's terms? I'm missing something, maybe it comes down to amp draw?
I'm trying to maximize run time and top end speed. I have a TRX M41 with Seaking 180 & Leopard 4082 1600Kv, runs 48-50mph and lets call it around 10 minutes, I also have a Proboat UL 19 stock with the 120A ESC & 2000Kv motor running 62mph for around the same run time. I know props are part of the equation, start out smaller, based on heat go up from there.
