      Only had it out once for testing. Rough water, small prop, and long rudder. Shows a lot of promise. I need to get some quality runs in soon, before the water freezes here.

        Very cool looking Cheetah.

        First time that I seen one in Carbon Fiber. Very nice. Can't see any water cooling lines inside. Are they hidden???

        Nice build . Now get some runs under it's belt.

          Thanks. Yes, the water lines are all in place, just out of sight.

            Looks awesome Rocstar, your work is nice and neat . I was curious what product u use to hold the stuffing tube , is it black epoxy? It comes out perfect. Good luck with her.

              Thanks, yes it's epoxy that I darkened with graphite.

                Txs, it looks great and matches the rest of the boat nicely.

                    6s. This motor should be able to swing a big wheel.

                        Love the way it came out!
                        Makes me want to get my build going.
                        Slowly collecting parts motor and esc is all I need now.

                          Nice.. You think you'll need all that skeg? I've got same rudder, same strut with skeg cut down to 3/16". Never used the hardware yet and just rx'd a very nice FG Cheetah from Amp Eater Racing, went to lunch with Tom & Cathy in Port Huron today. I'll be watching your build and as you know water is freezing up soon.

                          Big motor in there... I've actually got a 1440kv TP4070 kicking around but, might just stick with a 1521 1.5D on 4S.
