lol yea did not even look at the size on rcbitz. not bad prices. have not dealt with him in awhile but was really good a few years back.
the genesis hull 940mm long,235mm wide.
cheetah hull 866mm long, 340mm wide.
not sure but the cheetah bottom is same/similar as sprintcat,just different top.Comment

There's lotsa clones with mixed namebrand top+bottoms...
RCBits is about 20 min from home... made my little rescue boat with bitz from there..
It's like having China eBay dealers around the corner ( add postage )
Will let you know what the 56" CF goes like .. Im assembling one soon for a cashedup fella.

20 minutes away that would be great>
looked at the genesis hull,guys are getting good speed from them and tempted to try one.
the cheetah hull is suppose to be stable mid to up 50s (think in race water)
plan would be 2 1900kv 6 pole tenshock motors,2 turnigy 180s on 4s.
shoot for mid 40s so its reliable and motors/esc,s are not being pushedComment

Some pictures for the disinterested and could not give a stuff types that infest this thread and generally would rather watch grass grow...
A question to someone that could give a damn... Do you think that stinger (picture below) needs a bit slicing off it?
Setup... 1515 1Y, andym M645, 3s lipo and a Hydra 240 lv for a speed of 74.2 kph. A mild setup to test for things like water leaks, gout and arthritis.Several boats in various stages of destructionComment

Hey Paddy
For speed runs i would think further back would give more nose to tail stability, may chine walk a little more.
for turning i would extend front of rudder edge even with front of prop.
Thats is if i remember correctly,been awhile
I need to get of my ass send you the 33' hull.
Added a bit of CF (see pic)
P.S 34' cat is ordered
And a salute goes out to all serving and ex-service military on this ANZAC dayAttached FilesComment
