I'd be up for 'Cheetah'

I was thinking that too. Heres a pic of the esc cover. I put another coat of resin after this pic was taken for a better appearance.

I'm just jerkin' your chain but I do want to see how it runs. I have a Cheetah going together but it's a twin set up, two 4092 1450kv TPs with SF 200 Pro plus ESCs probably on 6s. Should be balistic fast!

And I need the video so I can keep motivated!
Awaiting usps to deliver my goodie bag for my cheetah- tp5660, swordfish 300 etc. AHH I HATE WAITING and your build is making it worse

More pics until the weekend. Put the hatch seal on just now. I think it's going to be pretty water tight without hatch tape. Nice ring around the hatch seal after putting the canopy on.

The boat turned out great, the windshield looks terrific on the boat. You should be quite happy with it, keep your rescue boat far back from shore this weekend!

Thanks! Mono Jeff did the windshield. I also have some more graphics to go on it but I'm too nervous to put them on. I'm not good with decals.

Don't worry the rescue will be far away lol. I better not wreck this one. I might drive it a couple times and sell it. If I keep it I'm likely to destroy it and I just can't let that happen. It's easy to nice for something to happen to it. I'd rather someone with better driving skills to take care of it. It's my dream boat, I wanted one since I first laid eyes on one. I hate to see it just sit on the shelf cuz I'm scared to drive it.

All I can say is drive it like you stole it! To much nice stuff in there to be a shelf queen!

I know! That's why I don't wanna mess it up! Lol

If you mess it up then fix it! :P
Well thanks to you I now am fixated on my usps tracking. GRR
I really like the window vinyl. Do you need to clear over your vinyl or you just plop them on?

No clearing over it. Its high quality stuff. Did you hit Jeff up for one?

[mekzoid]

Excellent cause I really didn't feel like rubbing it all down.
Yeah I am getting one sent over when he sends the paypal invoice :)
Mine will be like yours just no silver 'bolts' on it.

Plan on running it in the morning. Something made me pull on the motor mount to see how secure it is. Well one corner came loose. Glad I caught this today! Evidently epoxy doesnt grab the aluminum as much as I like. I roughed it up a little before but this time I cut a slot across the bottom. It should hold better now.

Heres my maiden voyage video.

Im kinda dissapointed in the speed. It runs nice and flat but it turns and spins around too easy. It also propwalks bad even with a 45mm prop. Runs super cool and batts ladt a long time. Ideas? Guess I need to change prop angle and strut height.
