Needing some help as I'm nearing completion of a John Finch - 32" Wild Thing kit from ML Boatworks.
Motors:
I currently have available a 3660/1620 and already have a mount installed for the 36mm can. I'm looking at OSE and see they also have a 3682/1650. Besides the KV (only 30 more), what real difference could I expect?
If the larger motor is recommended, I wouldn't mind going up in KV to 1900 or 2200.
Final thought: Is the juice worth the squeeze to go up to a 40mm? But what KV again?
So far, I have a 150amp ESC and would prefer to keep it simple on a single 4S 5000 size pack or possibly double up to (2) 3S - 5000 for a total of 6S.
End goal: Decent run time with good acceleration and fun. Pure top speed is not a priority - not trying to set records, but would like for it to be a notch down from top end as its a basher.
Opinions are appreciated.
