New project on the horizon!!

[SJFE]

I agree thats nice stuff!!

Keep in mind the speedmaster struts are ajusted from the top. Do you have room under the over hang for that? You maybe better off with custom or supervee struts. The SV struts will need mods also. Speedmaster stingers are always my first choice. It's nice to have the custom option as well. I will vouch for his work 100%. The product can always be sent back for more mods or ajustments.

on Sea Terrors speedmaster struts, i drilled a small hole over each adjustment allen head. have vinyl tape on outside underside and a stick roll up plug on inside. last time i adjusted them, i was able to do it from the backside by loosening side hardware and just turning the locknut in the direction it needed.

so far, i believe that 1/16th below neutral position is best ( for me )

Hopf has some nice stuff for very reasonable prices. I believe they make the toysport hardware ?

That is where the rudder I pictured came from.. Nice stuff, just takes forever for shipping..

Do you have a picture of the stingers??

It's terrible I know, but I may just put a single neu 1912-y in it with a 10s 3700mah pack.
This is supposed to be a "daily driver" so to speak, and I already have the power system to do this.
Besides, I'll have another, much larger, scale looking, twin motor cat ready to go soon !

Any pictures of the big twin??

[NTM]

No, I'll start a build thread when I get back home, I've been working on a remote location for a couple weeks now. It's in a box at home currently !
It's a drifter xl with twin pletti 370/50/A1S's, twin schulze 40/160's, BK drives, cat power rudder and will be run on 10s1p 25c 4350mah packs in a 10s4p configuration.
No good for the small man made lake near my house, that's where this smaller cat comes in !
I'll throw pictures of it up as well when it shows up, I'm curious what the paint/vinyl looks like up close.

UPDATE....

I changed my mind on the motor.. I went ahead and put in a Hacker 8XL that I had laying around... I have a HTX120 esc to put in as well...... First, I will run it on 4S lipo with CF40mm prop.......

I should have it done by Monday night.. I ran out of 20 min. epoxy..

I figure, I will try this hull in a single first.. If it works well, I will buy another and build a TWIN....

Here are a couple pict's.....

Wow your really putting that one together TX, nice work...that Rudder/Strudder is sweet.

[NTM]

That's a nice strut/rudder combination, who makes that ?

I look forward to your comments on how it runs on the single setup.

Nathan

Hope to get a little more done today!

Nathan, this thing is light!! Even with Hacker 8XL, HTX120esc and hardware... I will put it on the scale later today... I will put in a couple 4S lipos when I weight it...

I am thinking I will run it on 2/ 2S1P packs in series... And try 2/ 4S1P packs in parallel....

I think it will hit 40-45mph easy.... Mabey even 45+ with the right prop and CG....

[Yeeharacing]

I'm still researching my build as of right now I'm thinking twin 10xl motors and either speedmaster struts or some other setup.

[txboatpilot]

I put her on the Digital Scale, came out to 3LB 2.8OZ...
That is RTR except, receiver, lipos, and rec. battery(optional)...
With 2/ 2S1P 4000mAh 25C packs, she weighs 4LB 1.6OZ...

For comparison, I put the SV27 Stock except OSE t-tabs.... 3LB 4.6OZ w/out lipos
With the same 2/ 2S1P packs it is 4LB 3.0oz................

My SV has no problem doing 40+mph...

Now I think with the Hacker 8XL and 40-45mm prop, 50+ will not be a problem!!!

I have 2/ Fiegao 9XL's I thought about trying... I think 2/ 10XL's would work great also..
I think another good set-up would be 2/ 36-56-2600 Ammo motors.. Just run 3S1P on each motor.... Nice light set-up....

Have you ordered the speedmasters yet??
