***Calling all GURUS Help Needed on SET-UP figures***

[exotica]

Raydee I am using a seperate external power supply for the RX. I am aware that the CC speedie wont support onboard BEC running a 4s set up.

Lets us know how you go Kosta, I found with mine about 2mm or the thickness of 2 credit cards under the nose of the strut to create down angle worked well for the handling.

...im hopefull this weekend Heath and ill also try to get some video footage of it as well. Fingers crossed all goes well.

...thanks Dom, Fluid has sent me a pm with some very helpfull info. I will now use the X442 instead of the X445 to start with not believing that the prop was the issue why the ESC smoked. I have adjusted the strut down so it is now level with the bottom of the sponsons. Now that this adjustment has been made im hopefull that it stops the nose from wanting to lift up and blow over. I have also moved the lipos further forward a little to get a little more weight up front.

....Disar, that Graupner prop you suggested is similar to the 442. I have ordered a X440 also which is almost identical to the 2317.40.

I think there is no better person than Fluid to advise you on a cat setup, take his suggestions to the bank.

True, but only good if he's run the cat you are setting up.
I like to take the advice of ppl who run and race the same boat.

I run a m445 prop on both 4s and 5s through my castle hydra 120 on a larger H&M Drifter L hull with a nemesis 9xl..... great setup.... runs mid 40's and handles well with the m445 too!!! I definatly think it was a defective esc....your setup on the x445 isn't too much at all on 4s, no question.

Not true ...Fluid has run more cats than you can think of and I will take his advise sent by a pm to an individual over possible bogus info by this site's participants and yes that includes me

[Heath M]

who's giving bogus info?????

[Flying Scotsman]

My last comment was meant as a general opinoin and was not directed at you

[Heath M]

Then don't come here saying only take the advice of one person because everyone eleses advice is bogus.

I'll jump in here as I am now narrowing my fleet to cats and riggers.
For Riggers I ask guys like Jan and Paddy.

For Cats I ask Matt (crabstick) Jesse (JesseJ) Scott (ozziecrawl) and Jay (Fluid)
I have done a LOT of reading on cats over the years and have asked a LOT of questions. I still do not know a LOT and therefore ask some of the more experienced boaters.
There are few (if any) that have more experience and knowledge than Jay Turner and that is why when I am really stuck I will contact him.

That is how I do it !!
