Project Sprintcat! FighterCat Goes Ligit!

[FighterCat57]

He he. I bought a genuine bonafide SprintCat. Not a copy, not a lookalike, an actual Sprint Cat. Dees is niiiiiice.

I don't know what to do with this thing though! The gelcoat is so nice I don't want to touch it! I can't find the made in china decal anywhere!

Really, I have no idea what I'm going to do with it yet though. Single, Twin? I have hardware for both. Single, HV, 10s/12s? Twin LV 6s?

I have a pair of T600's and T180's, was thinking about twin 6s 1400kv. I've been wanting to get a Swordfish 240HV and a big NEU motor, which this may be a good excuse to...

There is a guy on RC Groups that will do a full wrap for $90 or so....He does incredible jobs. I may have my Sprint done soon.

Sweet! Have you tried turning the hatch around?

Yes, it doesn't quite sit as well as it does this way, but it does look better backwards I think. It wouldn't seal though.

I knew I had seen pics of someone doing that, but wasn't sure if it could be run that way. Either way, sweet hull. Looks like it wants twins. Heh

Do you have a link or email to this guy?
did he do your Hydro

[FighterCat57]

Hmmm. A wrap sounds interesting. I'm not going fancy though. I like simple and clean.

I have a buddy that does fiberglass/paint work, I may just have him do a nice, solid color or two tone with some decals.

A single 1527 on 5 or 6s 2p will pu you in the 60's. Twin 1515 1y's, into the 70's. I have done both setups, and I love it both ways. My favorite hull! Wait till you see how well they handle. WOT at 60 plus in 6 inch chop is no problem, even ripping wot hairpin turns.

Yeah. This is the hull project I was aiming to copy earlier in the year. Finally got around to picking up the right hull.

I think perhaps I'll try twin 1400kv T600's, T180's on 6s2p aiming for a 5k watt setup. RPM ~32k Might even get away with a 450/3 pair? I'm not sure how to FECalc a twin. But it looks like it might work.

Yea do the twin t600 1400s!! I have to put my MM with those on hold till june. I move back to school tomorrow. I am plannig on getting 2 sets of 3300mah 45c batts on 6s for next year to keep the weight light for highspeed runs.

I like the 450/3 idea!
If you were to get two 240hv's or castle ice's you could run 447s on 8s and go nuts. Just thoughts tho.
Goodluck!

Go with a single 5692 1090kv leopard and run her on 8s..... thats waht I would do... that way you can still use the sponsons for the batts and it will be a fun easy boat to run... reasonable cost too! plus I wanna see a big leopard in a hull this size....

Planning on a 5692 in a DF40 KO. Waiting to see how Forescott does his. =)
