Big Cat! NEW Product for Mini Cat Racing!

[bustitup]

It looks great Sailr. i agree, many of us do not want a boat that dumps huge amount of amps to get a fast blaze of speed. Some of us like a nice fast sport speed with a longer run time and reliable running for the family.

Some like both also.

I guess it is a good thing I am home now.

This reminds me more of the EKOS setup, but single drive for more reliability/less scale. Looks to be a more freindly setup than the EKOS.

So, is the length stated for just the hull or is it with the outdrive?

Brian

In my opinion the famouse EKOS has fizzled out because of its junk hardware and drivetrain with everyone trying to make it go fast for very long

lets face it folks ...going slow gets boring real fast

[sailr]

I'm probably going to have to get one of these things in my hands to answer all your questions. I can get rid of the square drive I believe. I'm still asking questions myself of the factory. The are going to do it as a twin also.

Jim,

I don't want you to give away the farm, but are there any pictures of the steps or tunnel section from underneath? I'm sure you also know what my next question is...is the tunnel narrower in the front than in the back?

If these questions cannot be answered right now due to various factors, then it's no problem. I just figured while folks were discussing the design features, then these elements should be considered as well. TTYL

I want some of whatever you're smokin!

sailr if you made it out of super lightweight bulletproof goodies, threw in the best 2.4 gig radio, self charging lipos, self size and sharpning props and it ran about 200 mph just as stable as can be all for the low low price of $50. guys would still complain about something!!!

on second thought, I'm quite serious!

[Tuslow1]

Very nice looking boat there! If I was any good with an airbrush, I would do something like that on my HOR.. Looking forward to see how the twin turns out......

i dont know why everybody hates on the square drives, but ive been using 4mm square setup in 2 hor 25.5 mono's for over a year no problems- and cannot lose a prop. i love em- moving to them on all my boats

[Rumdog]

Because you have to pull the motor to grease the flex. Which makes it a pain!

[6S HYDRO]

no i pull the strut nose off the back and pull it out. works great- can never lose my 60-80.00 props

[Rumdog]

Strut nose? How does the suare part fit through the stuffing tube?

[6S HYDRO]

the square end is only one the one end-the back end, also the square is made from crimping the 4mm wire- so the square is smaller diam.

[6S HYDRO]

ill post a pik.

[6S HYDRO]

if you look at the piks of this boat, it is the same setup- see the strut is held on by one bolt to the bracket. remove that bolt, pull the strut off, loosen the collet and pull out the flex from the rear and grease- stick it back in, put the strut back on w/ the one bolt and voila.

[BakedMopar]

But what about when you find that perfect strut adjustment.

[6S HYDRO]

you mark it
