42" sprint cat conversion

[Savage Skidoo]

I have only taken off the paint so far slash , it worked awesome . This would be the next think i have to tackle . I don't see why not as its friendly too Fiber glass . For the outside of this hull i sprayed it on and waited 15 to 25 min then wiped it off with clean rags & rised it off with water . I'm going to try it for sure :) , no harmful odor either .

Thanks, I'll stop by today.

Lovin the build BTW. I have a R-42 new from Andy on the shelf here waiting.

Any ideas what your stuffing in to it , i'm putting the 2028 with the Hydra Hv 200 on 10s . This should quite a step up from 6s that are in my other boats .

I have a few choices for ESC's, a pair of the same Castles, a pair of 8s Fightercat 300's, or a pair of FC 16s 240's. So you get the direction I am going,,, TWIN. Andy's R-42 really can crank so I am going twin 1717's or so goes the current plan. And planning on about 6600mah per motor. Also going with struts and wet well as the sponsons are different in depth from each other. There may be some tweak&tune involved here.

Very NICE , i have yet to be twinned. The only pairs i know come in cup sizes :) , thanks for looking , can't wait till you get started .

I do keep looking at 2028's though as they keep coming up. One ESC, one motor,,,KISS

Slash did you find it , if so did you get a chance too apply it . AC make some nice hulls . I built one late last year with my buddy , we only had a few run with it before the winter freeze . It's a Lightning ....love the way it banks itself in the corners .

Looking good Bob , i'd like too keep the hatch the way it is and cover the rear like i seen some of the guys do .

And I like your idea of pairs better.

Thanks for the Links Fluid . Bob do you have any pic too share . I have a 2028 coming for this beast its sitting at Canada customs . At this time i'd like to give a big shout out too Brandon Duncan for this motor . The boat came with a 1/4 shaft spun down to 3/16 with a x465 on it . In the market for an ESC for this motor , suggestions here for 10s capable would be awesome . thanks for looking

Yup I got it. And I also have a Lazer 40 that Andy got excited to hear I was building. I am blessed to get to run with him. His knowledge

That is what I am contemplating doing to the 42 as well Bob. I don't like the closed bubble that is the option. Did it take much overlay to make it strong enough?

I'm on hold for mounting the motor until my coupler comes , one was bought for me but its the wrong one from Promise hobby's . I needed a 8mm 1/4 this one is threaded on the motor end . I like the 3 peice that Kintec sells ....but opted for the one that OSE sells . I hope its here this week .

I kinda thought that when it goes air-born and comes down backwards it would stand less of a chance of ripping the cover off. New radio box starting to come together. position is next.DSC05802.jpgDSC05800.jpg
