Brand New Nitro Mean Machine Cat

[Steven Vaccaro]

This is a brand new Mean Machine Cat. Its one of the first versions, the motor ran erratic. So basically I'm selling it so someone can convert it to electric or put another engine in. $200 plus shipping. This boat normally goes for $380!!!

Steven Vaccaro: To show my appreciation I have a little special.

$8.55 off coupon for Forum Member orders placed for the next 3 days on orders of $20 and up. This is good for forum members that were active on or before 08/21. Anyone using this coupon that doesn't fall in that category will have the entire order refunded. That's about equivalent to s&h on basic orders.

Coupon code:
forum855

Its real easy to use the code. Look right above the "payment Method" during checkout. You will see "Coupon or Discount Number:" enter forum855
Use no spaces.

This is good for orders placed after 11am eastern time on 8/22/2007 and ends midnight 8/25/02007.

Doing another MM I see Mr Watts...I look foward to the build :).

[ReddyWatts]

Well actually, the kids have been badgering me for a nitro boat to go with their cars. Their grandpa has another engine to put in it, so I will wait until they get tired of rowing out after it, to install a electric setup. I really like these MM hulls.

[ReddyWatts]

SJFE, I think a cool "sport" setup for the Mean Machine would be to install two SV combos with a dual drive on one set of 14 cell NiMH batteries. It should run in the mid to upper forties. 50's on lipo's?

It should be very reliable on those 6 pole motors.

[SJFE]

Oh yeah man :iagree: . I have wanted to do a twin cat from day one..Its still on the list. I would go the same rout with The sv motor and a couple hexes for some more esc head room. That would cut the power system cost over all by about 90 bucks too. I am thinking two 11.1v s3 1p packs would do the job but those motors would prolly be happier on s4 14.8... I was going to attempt it in a smaller hull though.

[ReddyWatts]

Be sure and get a big enough rudder. They are hard to turn on a wide cat.

[SJFE]

That big old dual pick up SpeedMaster unit will do the trick. An alternitive would be a set of SV rudders with extenede brackets. I think the MM hull is one of the best for a dual setup just because of the with and all that room inside.

what prop would you run in a mm that has a 7xl powered by2- 25c 5000 mh px4s
flowing thru a hydra 240. I am looking for top speed only. I am running the wrong prop right now ( x645 ) and am having a heat issue after extended runs. still able to get over 50 with the gps. I just want some advice from those in the know
Thanks

[ReddyWatts]

I would drop down to a X640 and check your temps (1300 watts). Possibly a X642 (1600watts)??? You are running close to 2000 watts on an 800 watt motor. I hope you did not damage the magnets from heat?

[tertim]

motor only reached 140 and the esc 135 batts barely warm at 102. all I am doing right now is making speed passes and trying to get the strutplacement and cg set. only running it around 1-1.5 mins then bringing in and checking speed and temps
