Project Genesis!

[FighterCat57]

I have a Genesis on the way. I'm considering buying a pair of stingers & drives to make it a twin cat and run it on dual Neu/Castle 2200's with 180a ESC's on 4s.

Any thoughts on the conversion?

I really just want a nice setup that will hit 50+ and run for about 15 minutes.

I run that exact setup in my 34" sprintcat. Only on 5s. Spinning cr 442's, I've hit 71mph! 5s is REALLY pushing it though. I'm waiting on one of my 447's to come in and I'll be running those on 4s. I bet she'll be faster on that setup. Should work excellent on that Genesis as long as you can fit stingers or struts on it.

15 minuutes isn't gonna happen though. Not even half of that.

That's just a pie in the sky I guess. Gotta aim for something!

4s on CR 447s, cool. Maybe I'll prop a bit lower and see what run times I can get and strike a balance somewhere in the middle.

I'm going to wait until I have hull in hand, but I'm fairly positive that the stingers will work on that hull.

The other option is to leave the genesis in tact and pursue building a complete new boat... like the Avenger Pro 44. I've been targeting it since I've seen it. Still trying to get them to respond to an email though. I just want some photos of the hull and to know if it comes painted with graphics or plain color. =)

The Genesis is 1m long and your cat will need carbon reinforcement... I' ll go for 6S, 6S for the 2 motors or 8S, 4S per motor. Don' t be afraid

Strip its guts and lay it up w/ Carbon Fiber. Theres a bunch of post on here about different ways to do it. But a quick 101, strip it, scuff it, brush in some epoxy resin, lay in the CF, apply more resin, let it dry.

My Genesis should be here early next week.

My plans are to just make it a reliable 40ish mph boat on a single drive. Hopefully all that involves is a different ESC on 4S.

Hey Rum.........how would x642's do on your boat......just curious.

Not answering for Rum, but the 442 and 447s, as well as cut down 447s are typically used because you can get them counter rotating. 642s you cant. So more than likely, he has not run them for that reason. But Im only guessing, I could very well be wrong

Oh yeah..........didnt think about that...........thanks.

Well... I just ordered the pair of stinger drives for this boat. I'm such an ancy bastid sometimes!

What stingers did you get?

HOTR 4mm full stinger/drive sets. Keeping all my drive systems same, so all the parts interchange.
