I recently finished building this EKOS (built from bare hull). It has just a few runs on it. I've GPSed it at just over 70mph on 5s lipos, but I would reccomend 4s lipos for sport running. Boat is VERY stable for a boat this speed and handles well.

VIDEO:

* Twin ICE 100 ESCs with data logging (use with pistix or compatable tx)

* Twin 3660 2200kv Tacon water cooled motors

* .150 flexs with 3/16" prop shaft/drive dogs

* Blackbird low pro servo

* Custom carbon fiber motor mounts

* Custom carbon fiber servo tray/mount

* Lots of custom carbon fiber inside

***The boat was originally built with the Suppo inrunners that are in some of the pictures. Those motors are no longer in the boat. I included those pictures because they were taken in daylight which is the only way to get a good photo of a boat with this much carbon fiber. I switched those out for the tacon 2200kv motors. The Tacons have one run on them.

$575 shipped CON US as gift or add 3%

I will include a pair of CR x442's for an additional $50

I would only sell them with the boat. If the boat is purchased without them I will use them in testing on my newest twin build :spy:

Is the vid running 5s to each? Are the Suppo motors what are in it on the video. How do the new motors compare?

Thanks to everyone who made offers on this boat (I got a lot of them) but I have received payment from a member who made an offer overnight so the boat is now sold.
Fortunately for everyone else I always seem to sell just about everything...so maybe my other twin cat will be in the swap shop some day!

Wow! Lucky guy!

This is the coolest EKOS on the planet. :beerchug:


Although it was a little cooler with twin outrunners. :bounce:
