my first scratch 38` cat built

[Jacked1]

No problemo, and don't worry I have done a lot worse before. Like forget to install the steering servo before a maden!

this week i been doing some body work to warped sections so it doesn`t come out when i make the mold this weekend

[08gtrking]

well i was on fightercats web site lookin to order some stuff and i saw this FighterCat 3740 1760kv Brushless Outrunner motor, do you guys think this will be better than the leopard 4082 1600kv on 6`s ? or should i just stick to the leopard?

[Boaterguy]

well, I've always been interested (obsessed ) with outrunners, they sound pretty cool and keep themselves cooler than an inrunner, although they are harder to cool well. What about the 1580kv one? it's the same size just a different winding.

that one is3730 and can only handle 2700watts the other is 3740 and can handle 3000watts idk if that will make a difference

you guys think if i make the mould and make fiberglass versions of this hull and sell them on the swap shop people would purchase them? honesty appreciated

[Peregrine]

Honestly, it will depend on a few factors (for me) before I would commit to buy one; final build pictures of inner structure as you plan to ship it, weight numbers, dimensions, price and of course, a video of the completed boat you build running. JMTC

thank you for your opinion peregrine,, anyone else

[08gtrking]

well i decided not to make a mold (to much work) and i wanna see this baby running across the lake already ,, do any of you guys know if clear will seal the hull

Uh..not true. All of my outrunner attempts have been fast but they always run hotter than an in-runner. Lower winds cause that. You just can't cool the darn things and the heat eventually gets to them.

[Boaterguy]

I know you can't cool them, but if you ran both with zero cooling the OR would run much cooler since it moves air around

[08gtrking]

well here are some pics ,of motor mount inside and sevo mount,and i taped up the strut and ruder mount to see how it looks and it looks like im going to have to mount it very low so the strut can be even with the bottom of the sponsons,if not it wont reach

[08gtrking]

one more

, do any of you guys know if clear will seal the hull

bump

[Boaterguy]

Don't know how well it will seal it, but if you're thorough then it most likely will
