Looking for a fightercat cheetah hull, or something similar. 34 or so long, something WIDE so it handles well, less prone to flipping.
initial goal of 55 mph, final goal of much faster. Plan on using something like a TP4060 5D 2100kv 5 or even 6S for nutty speeds.

FighterCat Cheetah is an awesome boat. My Cheetah was my first build and has clocked 62.3 mph on 4S2P with a 4082 / 2200.

Common, somebody sell me a Fightercat Cheetah. I don’t care if it is in rough shape. I don’t mind big repairs. If the hull is really damaged, Ill just put it together enough to make a mold and Ill RTM myself one to my liking.

Basstronics,
I appreciatwe the offer, But I think Im going to hold out for a cheetah. The more I watch video of the fightercat cheetah and the conditions in the vids, the more desiorable it is to me, given that im on the downwind side of the lake. It is wide enough that it is quite stable, and how it handels the chop quitte well.

larry the aeromarine SC 40 is an extremely capable hull, and can handle anything u throw at it, it's just not as pretty at the Cheetah, it can run on anything from 4-10s just get a lightweight layup w/ no stringers if you're gonna go 4S. you wont be dissappointed.

Mike, Have you seen the new Team Believer? I think it may be my next FE build.

yes MIke, I like it a lot, I think he's calling it the Mini Avenger, I still like the way the SC handles with the less freeboard, but the TB is so much easier to work on and put batteries in and out. I acually built 2 TB over the winter for my daughters!!!!! unfortunately the have the old style hatch:-(
