Hi Guys,
A few years back I fell in love with the most devilish and wicked looking cat I had ever seen, it was a Team Lindenau Smith's Cat. I had no clue as to if they stopped making boats or what, but I had no luck getting intouch with them. So I gave up the on of getting one but still kept my pictures of the Cat in my folder marked "Dreamboats". Looking at random videos from YouTube and Google I found videos of Mudl and Jay Turner. I had no clue where Mudl was from but from the speech in the video I knew he wasn't from the the USA, But I kept wondering where do I remember the name Jay Turner???
It can't be the guy who writes in the Mags that I read???? ....... It was...... 
So to make a even longer story short I asked to buy his and he let me down easy saying "NO", he had a record he was shooting for ( and he got it! ) so some years have now since past and I thought to ask him once again and to my suprise he said yes... 
... 
He told me long ago what motor and prop he was using and believe it or not a Nue 1515/1D and a CMD modded X642 prop has been sitting on my boat shelf for years.
Well from then to now LiPo Power is the way to go and thinking with that in mind I wouldn't dare stick in 4s to replace the 12 4200's that he ran back then on a 4100kv comp motor and the X642 prop would choke and smoke my LV 240 Hydra!!! I settled on using a X440 to lower the amps and 3's to make it last. The problem with that is no one seems to want to make me a 3s split pack (hump pack) and 2-3's packs weigh as much as the boat itself!!
The Boat ready to run without cells weigh in at 3lbs 12 oz.
2 3s 6500 Hyperion packs alone weigh in at 2lbs 6.5oz.
My question is what to do about the power? Do I use the 2 - 2s packs and turn the throttle down or stick the 2 3s bricks in and be super happy with 13000 mAh??? I also think that by making the boat heavier will shoot the amperage right back UP! or do you guys know of anyone that sells a quality 1s and 2s packs?
My local hobby shop is having no luck but told me to stay far away from voltage regulators because the hi amps will toast them quicker than a flame thrower!!
