OK! Sold me on it Proper just like you did on the hull when I asked about a big mono build. I should learn the first time but why start changing this late in the game. -
Welcome Brian
Yup, addicting alright - in a good way !
I'll confirm the vote(s) for the Cheetah - It's not only solid & fast but wide enough to negotiate ovals. Great P-Cat & P-Offshore choice.
As far as what motor to choose, in my own experience (to answer previous post ) I pretty much stuck with the 2200KV 1Y motors but after a while stepped up (to stay in line with the competition) to the 1521 1.5D. THEN I had a chance to audition the TP Power 4060 2040KV "D" wind* and haven't looked back since. I switched the Neu in my Cheetah to the 2040 KV 4060 and it's love ! I used a Oct 452/2 to set the NAMBA 2-Lap record and it didn't break a sweat [the TP Power 4070 is a monster and is overkill for P-Class in my opinion].
* My TP Power 4060 D 2040KV is an older wind - now marketed as the 4060 1950KV - very close/similar

Is there any reason you go with the 2080kv d wind over the 2200kv y motor?
Wondering because Ive been using the castle 1515 motors for years but they are getting harder to find sensorless and when you do 75% of the time they are fakes.
Have been thinking of changing over to the TP motors but was going to go with the 2200KV motor for my cheetah.Leave a comment:

hey BP, I own a M41 and have had it a few months. Great boat, easy to work on and runs 50mph. I put an aluminum cooling jacket on the motor and a cooling fan on the ESC. Have ran it a dozen times with no problems... An alloy prop is next. Welcome to the obsession...Leave a comment:

My 2 cents on this...I've heard that there is a lot of problems and upgrades needed on the M41, it's a good starter boat but that's it. The MTR or In my opinion the cheetah is a good one. As far as racing class and best set up the more experienced would have to chime in.Leave a comment:

Noobie questions
Hi Guys, I'm new to RC boats. Not new to rc, I've stick built and flone planes, kit built and raced trucks for a few years now. About a year ago a friend got a M41 and has been on me ever since to get one. well it's time! So i've been researching and lurking around this forum learning. And learning a lot!! Thanks!!
I like the looks of the oval and offshore racing, I think novice class, of course, and P class. More than just SAW. Starting with a cat hull, I know steep learning curve!! But i like a challenge! I've got it down to 2, i like the pro marine MTR and OSE's cheetah, which they have a couple in stock, with the 4082 1600kv power option. What is the general opinion about these? Or am i over thinking all of this and should just get a veles 29 and be done? I have a futaba 4pls so buying a RX and a servo to install is not a problem.
I know this is long winded, I'm a little OCD, tend to over ananlyze and explain things! Sorry! Any opinions, suggestion or comments welcomed!!! The knowledge base here is amazing and i look forward to learning more!!
I'm plaing to attend a club race in indy sunday lookin forward to that, also next saturday there is one in cinci. Hopefully learn more after both of those events!!
Thanks again in advance!!
