how the heck do you work on the inside of this thing!!!
I hate when they make boats like this!
It looks nice though hope they make a biger version!

[RCprince]

Same thing I thought, I guess it's a disposable boat. The large version is suppose to have a tub like hull, like the UL-1.

[soulreaper]

I really like the wildcat but like you guys, I dont think there is enough room to do any type of work (MODIFICATIONS).

It has the same watertight type covers as the mini rio. shouldn't be too big a deal.

[screwball]

i was just looking into building a twin cat


what bl motors are you guys liking for this?

[Rumdog]

twin feigao 380's on 2s.

[kburrows]

are the props same rotation on this boat? the pics show the same prop on both drives... maybe

[blastoff]

Same question ??? Are the props the same rotation ??? Any one modify the thing yet ???

[screwball]

the props are the same rotation i was going to get one and try some octura x430`s left and right rotation but i ended up getting a renegade rigger....

[6S HYDRO]

you wont be disappointed with the renegade, probably would be bored of the wildcat after a day

[blastoff]

I thought boats dont run very good unless the props counter rotate ??? Could some one please explain ??

My last project went mach 3.1 until it glitched http://www.rockethigh.com

[Steven Vaccaro]

Cool boat. How would you guys rate the speed in the video?

[blastoff]

Has any one here built a dual motor boat using the same rotating props ??? Did it work ??? I am frustrated !!! I thought dual engine boats used counter roating props ???
Some one please

[screwball]

they do, this boat is just so low powered that it wont matter to not have the counter rotation

[BakedMopar]

Anybody has one? Thinking about getting one of these for my daughter.

[Brushless55]

I had a Mini LST2 that I changed out the esc and used a decent 10th scale esc and ran the truck on 3s with the stock motors and that little truck moved very well.
IMO just as fast as some have gone using brushless on 2s but much cheaper
so maybe the same mod on this could wake it up! :thumbup1:

[Diegoboy]

Anyone notice how the hatch magnet is on the front? I don't think that was a positive change in design. Not a big deal with the stock power plant (guess @ 8mph) but mod her for brushless counter rotating, and you may loose the top easily.
just a thought...

its gonna have to be cut out and taped to modify these things at all. the must have been assembled before the hull was joined.

[Brushless55]

I don't see a magnet, looks more like two pins and a latch

[Diegoboy]

You're right. I found & posted that while driving, so I couldn't stare at it too hard :lol:

while driving! :w00t:

[j.m.]

It's in stock at tower hobbies...

[blastoff]

Could you swap wires on one motor to get it to counter rotate using the stock speed controller ??? Or would the stock controller burn up ??? Or not spin one motor backwards ???
What size prop are they running ???
Can you add a bit bigger battery ??? If all this is possible then the mini cat would shred !!!
Are there plans on building a bigger version ???

Has anyone experienced one motor stopped working?

We had three brand new ones ALL have this issue on the weekend 2x L/H & 1 x R/H with one of them being the local Hobby shop guys.

He suspects a bad batch & is going to send all of them back.
