Now you know how the rest of us who live in the ghetto feels like,Originally posted by kfxguy View PostJust ran it. Ran very well. Nothing heated up. Turned ok with no turn fin but it does need one. Water came in somewhere (I'm 99% positive the culprit was the hatch tape which I despise. The receiver got wet and stopped working. The one and only receiver I own that I did not epoxy, lol. Pics..... video soon...
Too many boats, not enough time...

Well I have three...lol. you probably heard the 5 year old. The vac u pickle is for my ten year old, he's the driver. I asked him what he was doing because initially I was going to run it first to make sure it was ok....but he just took off with it while I was snapping pics so I turned the video on..... my 5 year old has a mini mono that's probably too fast for him buy he managed to not flip it!Originally posted by Doug Smock View PostHow old is your son?

Thanks! Not too bad I think. I had built it to run on 4s but I honestly think that's going to be too much for this hull. And it only has a 40mm 1.4 pitch cnc prop!Originally posted by Brushless55 View PostWow that bugger goes good!32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) was

She runs darn good for a first run. My first hydro did not go that smooth it took me about 4 times out to really dial it in. The coolest part is the little guy took it right out from under you. He drives pretty well !!!!
Keep up all the good work.my youtube videos http://www.youtube.com/user/chris81983?feature=mhee
