    Reciever pack ?

    Nice ! I wanted to make mine a twin but decided on taking a break from it and get a bigger cat later and sold the hull , good handling boat though.... I noticed the reciever pack and was wondering why you use it instead of the BEC's ? Have you tried parelleling the BEC's to the reciever ? Turnigy BEC's are good for 6s ? I am very curious because I have ordered 4 of those for my 4 prop Conquest and if the speed controls didn't comunicate threw the BEC's that would be good to know !

      I always use an rx pack when running over 3s. On any esc. The Seaking/Turnigy's are rated as such that the bec's should work on 6s. I just don't like chancing it.

        I have a question about the struts..
        would is help any if the strust are higher than what you have?
        the reason I ask is I want to build one and I want to make sure I have my stingers set in the best spot.
        Thanks

                Another question for you Rumdog
                how well do you think your motors on 5s would do in a 43" Aeromarine Conquest Cat?

                  Not sure if it would help if they were higher. They are a little higher than the pads as it is. It seems to run really well the way it is. If you go too high, it may run wet. I am running about 1 degree on neg. angle as well. I think this setup would definately push the conquest well. Even on 4s. This same setup with the 447's runs 57 mph on 4s! I have endless power, so i'm pretty sure it would push the conquest well. Ran 75.5 mph today! The prob now is that with the air dam it wants to bounce a little. It isn't extreme, but it never bounced before. I'm gonna move the cg back a bit now to see how she runs. Sorry I didn't respond earlier. I left myself logged in when I left the house.

                    Awesome thank you!
                    I'm leaning towards the Conquest now and not the SV powered Team Believer build
                    and are your 25c batteries holding up to these motors?
                    thanks

                      I'm using 30c now. They get warm, but not too bad. AND, I run to the lvc, usually.
