Genisis...

[Rob DeAngelis]

Just ordered the Genesis.... Planning on building a saw racer out of it... Anything I should know? other than its a narrow hull???? planning a leopard 4082 and something in the 120 amp area...

Better reinforce the hull good if your planning to put some serious speed to it.

[JIM MARCUM]

Rob, reinforce it like you did with your Segad. Suggest you go with a Turnigy 180 amp ESC. Got them here on OSE, or from Hobby King. Only around $80, are pretty much bullet proof, & will let you use a wider size range of motors. Perhaps you could stuff one of those 5692 1340KV Leopards in there with a Turnigy 240 ESC.JIM

I reckon you could Jim. It would go like a bullet too if set up right but it would also increase your build cost by a fair amount.

[JIM MARCUM]

Agreed. But sometimes running a boat at <60 MPH all day long beats going 90-100 for a few seconds, then trying to find a diver to pick up the pieces. A whole lot easier on the wallet too. JIM

wow that would be sick!!! I set my 5698 in my Spartan as a joke and it just looks INSANE

[JIM MARCUM]

INSANE is my middle name Rob. And I'm damn proud if it! JIM

You should have gotten the bare hull only from Fightercat. It is better constructed, and you could put all the proper gear in it without having to pitch all the crap.

[JIM MARCUM]

But then he wouldn't have the cool paint job Ryan. JIM

Ya I thought about it... my buddy just ordered the 41", Im already doing a pretty big build so my money and time is going to that... I got the Genesis cause its cheap and fast... Plus late night youtube and seeing the 9s rippin 80s all day I was sold...

also I didnt get the fightercat hull cause its the same just blank... also the same price... plus other than the inline rudder I like the fact that its pre drilled...

[JIM MARCUM]

For only about $60 more it's well worth it in hardware & time saved. Toss the plastic prop & don't forget to get an offset rudder for it Rob. JIM

Agreed sir... its got the paint, stuff tube already installed, strut and all the hardware drilled... plus I like the cool water cooled motor mount... for the amount of work I want to put into it, you cant beat it for the low low cost of 200 bucks...

[JIM MARCUM]

Thanks Rob. But if you call me "sir" again, I send the lying inbred trailer guy over to pee on your porch. JIM
