I have communicated with Stephan through email many times before. If you PM me, then I'll provide his contact information. Otherwise, you can go to his website here: Translated Team Lindenau Link
He's really great at returning email and will provide pricing if you ask for it. One thing though, as a designer and a manufacture with limited free time, try to refrain from arbitrarily contacting him unless you're serious about ordering one.
Here's a video of the Atomos running.
Hope this helps.Last edited by Meniscus; 08-13-2010, 12:52 PM.IMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box. Rather, refuse to admit that the box exists in the first place!"

That looks like and Eco hull. On this forum, User: 'sailr', see post #90, has some similar mini ones on his website that really jam: http://minicatracingusa.com/eco.html There's even a video for your viewing pleasure!Originally posted by 305MIAMI View PostIMPBA: 7-Time FE World Record Holder "Don't think outside the box.

I wanted the ATOMOS a year ago at one point but then realized parts are non existent and support would not be a phone call away. Also, I've seen it run and was not impressed with the handling, seemed to bounce a bit and not handle corners well. It looks neat though! Instead I purchased a Starship from Mini Cat Racing and can't be happier. Great quality and great support. It has parts that are available and it's easy to setup and run. Motors are abundant as props and hardware.
Jim is great with support and is always very helpful, actually too helpful? We end up talking forever and it's wonderful, he seems to have a lot of time to help you with your needs not "limited free time". The Starship is a blast to run. I always get a crowd that gathers with 50 questions about it. I'm still tuning it with different props and batteries and am getting close to where it runs great. So far been using 1800 and 2200 3s (1550 are on the way) Lipo's and the 34x32 metal prop with a 3600kv 20-40 motor. Nothing gets over 120 degrees.
I like the Mini Cat line so much that I ordered the Micro Hydro. I'll post thought and results once I have them and will likely do a full review on both.
Thank you.Last edited by SweetAccord; 08-31-2010, 07:01 PM.Comment

RE the above post: I dont get it. What parts do you need for a Hull? If you damage it you fix it, patching with glass most likely, if you damage it beyond repair you cry then buy a new one. Motors, props and hardware aren't specific to a hull and there are just as many suitable for the Atomos as any other hull of its size. The comparison the Starship is apples and oranges the starship is a rigger and a much bigger boat, while the Atomos is very rigger like in its design and handles very well for a full bodied hydro, it is still a full bodied hydro and won't handle corners as well as a rigger can, and due to the size difference given the same size waves a small boat will always bounce around more than a bigger boat, that nothing to do with the boat design its just the physics of scale.
If you want a small full bodied hydro the Atomos is one of the best, but check out the MHZ mini Miss Madison too, thats scale, is still hellishly quick and if racing on a normal size oval turns plenty good enough, if you run a 2 buoy mini oval course the Atamos will beat it though with its wider stance cornering tighter at full speed.Paul Upton-Taylor, Greased Weasel Racing.Comment

Starship
Don't get me wrong the Atomos looks great and all but getting parts (if any as none are listed anywhere that I was able to find) and support from over seas is difficult. Like I said, I looked at the ATOMOS for over 3 months of web searching and reading forums, and don't find anything for parts or phone support.Originally posted by NativePaul View Post

What parts do you need for a Hull? = None it's ARTR. = I was trying to ascertain why you would need parts for a boat hull, and the atomos is sold as just a hull by the way not a RTR
If you damage it you fix it, patching with glass most likely, if you damage it beyond repair you cry then buy a new one. =This is true for all boats not sure what the point is to that statement? = As above just trying to ascertain why you think you need parts for a hull.
Motors, props and hardware aren't specific to a hull = Sure they are check Offshore and Mini Cat's site for parts. They are specific to these hulls, they have to be cause of the size. = No there not, just specific to a size of hull, minicat, HOtR, ETTI, MHZ, Astec and Dr Psycho all do hardware that will fit the Atomos as well as any other mini size boat. Feigao, Mega, HET, Nue, Lehner,tenshock and many other chinese companys make motors suitable for the Atomos or any other mini sized boat. Octura, Graupner, Hor and Tenshock all make props suitable for the Atomos or any other mini size boat.
The comparison the Starship is apples and oranges = Sure, I never said that they are the same boat only point is that both are fast and small and one has parts available and full support not "limited free time" support. = The Atomos is a bare hull, no parts or support are needed.
The starship is a rigger and a much bigger boat = not really it's about 16" long, that is pretty small. = Please forgive me, here in the UK there are 2 starships, one called "starship" (hydro1 size) and a "mini starship" (what you know as the starship) I forgot that there was only 1 in the states so when you said "starship" I was thinking of the bigger one.
The Atomos is very rigger like=I don't see how it's rigger like it's a Hydro like you said. = primarily its length to width ratio, while not as wide as a rigger it is much wider than a scale hydro, but it also has little in the way of tunnel lift, as the tunnels is exceptionally thin and it has no air traps, what lift it does have is as far back as possibe as seen in the pickle forks which start at the back of the sponsons, it is not a rigger, But like the insane sport hydro its as close to a rigger as it is possible to get while still being a full bodied hydro, if you saw the bottom of one in the flesh you would get it.
The Atamos will beat it though with its wider stance cornering tighter at full speed. = The Starship has a much larger stance in width in the front. I have tried to flip it and can't seem too. It turns like it's on rails and I don't even have the optional turn fin on it!
What are the Atomos hull measurements? So we can compare the width? = The Atomos is 420mm long and 230mm wide, the ride pads go nearly to the outside, for comparison the scale MHZ mini Miss Madison is 435mm long, 225mm wide and the ride pads are tucked in under shallow anti trip angles.Paul Upton-Taylor, Greased Weasel Racing.Comment
