Hey Ed! I found the videos of Jay Turner's Skunkworks Gen2 Cat. It's the fastest I know so far of the 12 Skunks! It hit 84.4mph

that's unbelievable!! however, mine will be even faster 100+ mph

Here's a frankenstein setup on my Xray!

I scrounged around my electric stuff and found a Hobbico servo that used to be in a aquacraft reef racer that my son busted up months ago, I found a 2445 3200kv motor that used to be in my mini deep vee which I took off the water cooling jacket and grounded the 3mm motor shaft to 2mm to fit the pinion of the xray, got a 2s LiFe tx battery for power as it is the only size battery I have that would fit inside the chassis and got a T60a esc that I used in a mini deep vee.
Since it was just for testing purposes, I didnt use double sided tape - just routed the wire anywhere just so they kinda stayed there.

Not bad! Having given up rc cars more than 20yrs ago, this mini seems a hoot! I was even surprised how fast these little boogers go! Many times did I see both my rx and esc being dragged on the floor! hahahaha!
While I didnt do any fast straight runs, Im wondering how come motors for these 1:18 are listed at 6000kv - 7000kv whereas I already found the 3200kv fast enough? Am I missing something here or im just getting old?
They're fast & very nimble - you gotta be quick on your fingers and a small input on the wheel could literally turn them on a dime!
Im still deliberating though if I would buy the appropriate combo for this mini.

hey, at least u got it to work, that's something... but get a good combo for it and enjoy it. a good diversion from running boats all the time.

Actually the fastest pass on 6S was 88.9 mph. I was trying hard for a 90 mph pass but just couldn't get there....that weekend.

I can recommend dasboata for prop work I have lots of props from him and never been dissatisfied with them and he is reasonable on price. His web site is www.dasboata.com and he does post on here aswell, he can do whatever you need done to the props. Take a look at his web site.

[CHIEFY_44]

I was there when Jay was doing them passes and it was awesome to watch him working on his boat and seeing the boat run was mind boggling, and Jay if you read this I'm the crazy English guy that loaned you the ezup, it was a pleasure to meet you my friend and hope to see you again soon, gd health to you and ur family, if you head this way again give me a shout and maybe I can help out again.

OSE has the octura x645 s/b in stock, x445 & m645 are out of stock... i sent a notify by email

[CHIEFY_44]

Most of my props are octura with some Prather ones thrown in as to ABC props I only have 1 that's a H5 for my p-sport hydro, I don't know what ur specs ate for ur MG but with a 1515-1Y and a T-180 I run a M445/M545 or a X645 and it runs great.
