Twin out-board cat

[F1 madness]

Iv seen this pic:

And thinking of scratch building 1,its got me really curious this is what im thinking:
scratch built hull 36"x13"
2 x bullet outboards
2 x 3 blade octura props to suit
2 x scorpion outrunners 3026 1400kv on 5s or 6s
2 x 200amp Esc
2 x metal geared digital servos
2 x 50c,5s 0r 6s 5000 mah lipos

What you guys reckon

[Jacked1]

I would suggest the kb 3.5cc outboard lower units. The shafts on them are 5/32inch which is very close to 4mm (3.96875mm) so they would be easy to fit a brushless motor on.

You probobly have the lower units on the outboards picked out already i bet from looking at your picture haha

yeah would like to try the bullet drives,i know a couple of people who have used them and swear by them.

jacked1. the bullet drives he mentioned can be brought as a complete kit with brushless motor adapter and coupler
F1. one of the guys on here has a mean machine with twin OBs
cant remember who tho

I think it could be an interesting build though,seen the pic on RCG and really got me thinking.
i will have a troll through and see if i can find it,would like to see it

I even thought about a pair of graupner 800 converted to brushless,but not sure if they would take brushless or even an easy conversion,so the bullet drives seem easier to use and set up

Eodman I believe has the twin MM.

Yes I do -- am traveling but will post a couple of pictures this weekend! If you look at my gallery pictures there's 1 - 1st try with EP1's. Just putting the finishing touches on it with 1700 kv brushless, Etti 150's, 4s and x442's L & R

not currently - had 1 up but it disappeared awhile ago!

It was around 22 mph looked sharp under way. Just the cool factor was great. Tried to co to a 17 turn brushed motor from stock 27 and the esc won't behave let the genie out twice!

So am going brushless! Just a few things to sort out and she'll get wet!
