Would you mind listing your specific set-up? I would like to know exactly what drive parts to order, what motor you purchased and what ESC. Also, any other help you have would be great. I am about to start my minicat project and yours seem to not only run well but is looks like the handling is good too.

I used this motor http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=4201 and this ESC http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=6460 a X427 and X429, make a water cooling jacket, gut the interior with a dremmel and take a look at the video and the aluminum trim tabs I made, they are what keep it in the water and makes it turn well. It is a fun boat but on 3S you will flip it! It's crazy fast! You know you have to pull out the stock brass tube and replace it? Then use .098 Octura flex setup. Good luck it is worth ran it alot this year still after my MG batteries emptied. Runs good on 2S also.
