Carbon fiber cheetah build

[kfxguy]

I like to reinforce the tips of the sponsons and the front of the tunnel for a couple reasons. One is to add a little weight toward the front to help balance things and the other reason is in case of a collision. My hopes are it will help it survive better. I mix in some carbon fiber that I chopped up onto the mix.





(I apologize in advance but I'll be posting some of the same pics in this thread and the daytona build thread. I'll still keep them separate threads but I'm building them at the same time. )

This is going to be a sweet build. Do you have a speed expectation?

Here's a cheetah I'm building for a buddy of mine. My knowledge and experience is ever evolving on these builds so of course I'll be applying that here. He wanted something fairly fast and that would turn and handle a little bit of chop.

List of the main components:

motor: neu 1521 1577kv
Esc: castle hydra ice 240
.187 flex
Aeromarine coupler
Servo: savox waterproof
kintec motor mount
prop: start off with a 447/3
6s to start off

My favorite part...sanding. not!



I really like these new motor mounts. They are very sturdy and adjustable. Look good too!
