Vantex audi r8 catamaran

[JESTER]

I bought some time ago this catamaran: http://www.fuyuanrc.com/detail.asp?id=15703, Someone knows it, there are some reviews on it?

[driftah]

omg that is too funny bro.Its a cartamaran

[egneg]

I remember when this boat was first posted - but I don't know of anyone that has one.

Whoa! Little different twist on the looks................... Big 50 incher too.

If the bottom is up to snuff, its running a 'decent' motor 650kv, it outto go OK. The sponsons and business end dont care that there is a car on top LOL!

ever noticed that with these boats, they have a picture of the outside of the boat, yet all the inside, or other pics are all generic pics of a compleatly difference boat?

Hi Guys ,

I guess this peculiar looking Cat was developed for those that still want to hold onto their R/C Car Roots !!! Lol

Unfortunately, the ARR version has a brushless outrunner 650Kv http://fuyuanrc.com/en/detail.asp?id=16429 by pulling very little indeed accepts up to 7s. Because all the hardware is already in place, I do not want major changes to the hull, so I prepared for this cat a leopard 5692 by 540Kv motor with 10s, then I was advised to start a propeller from 60-62mm and finally found a speed controller HV 280A. We hope that everything will be fine and that I will reach a satisfactory speed!

Does that canopy actually have "ventilation" fins in it?

I had already seen that video, I'd like to see it in action, but probably in the network are not there, oh well I'll set it up when I finish some videos!

The "out of the box" non upgraded components should perform like this. This is the another fuyuan boat - Aqua Mania knockoff. Same size, same setup except different rudder. And unfortunately a "gfreak racing" video.

Hi Skullcraken I saw that video too, but what is the right setup for my mono motor R8 cat? I think what I indicated above should be good ... hopefully!

Hi kevinpratt823 the canopy has a grid of ventilation, but I wanted to close it because I think that with an electric is better, but since it is only recently that I look into the world of rc boats, clearly accept advice from those who have more experience than me. I think that the air intake is to be left open in the case of a combustion engine ... right?

Yes the vents are for IC, you want it water tight for FE.
