ORIGINAL: Got RPM
I just ordered a micro iceberg....I have a motor sitting here I would like to consider....Its an [b]AXI 2814 Series Outrunner Brushless - 1390kv
Your motor will not work well, it has a too low Kv, speed will be slow for this size boat. It is just 17" long and very narrow. To get any speed with that motor you'll have to run a
large prop - which is not a good thing with this hull.
I would run the boat on 2S with a motor giving around 2000-2500 Kv myself if I was going to sport run it. My Iceberg holds the IMPBA SAW record with 4 NiMH cells at 33+ mph. I used a Lehner 1515 motor with a high Kv and an x432 prop. With 6 NiMH cells and a prototype Aveox motor an Iceberg holds the NAMBA record at 43 mph. Both speeds are not appropriate for sport running - they are maximum-effort speed attempts.
