        did you use epoxy resin for the fg work?
        Will it hurt the polyester?

          You definately can't say you didn't see my boat.
          You hit me it's intentional! :D
          Or you were blinded...
          Great look with the bright yellow Yeeharacing...I like it! Decals for the name?

          Most definately it is on the opposite end of the color spectrum from my bud select MM.

              Got the cooling done!!

              Took it for the first test run yesterday, ran with 2/7.4V 4350mAh 25C PolyQuest lipos, she hit 44.3mph on the gps and was nice and stable... I can say it does not turn as well as my Mean Machine, but I did not expect it too!! It was a blast to drive!

              First 30sec. run, all electronics and lipos came in under 90deg...

              Temps after 2min. were 102deg. on HTX120 and 107deg. Hacker 8XL (first run was with alm. coil for cooling motor)... The lipos were 112deg.


              I will take it out again today for more testing! I will try and get some video as well..

                  The wait is over!!

                  Here is the 3rd run of the New 32" Catamaran...

                  Temps were 104deg. on the Hacker 8XL, 118deg. on the HTX120, 102deg. on the lipos.......

                  Overall I am pleased with this Hull!! I think I am going to prop down to CF40mm, and run 2/4S1P in parallel next time for more wieght... It runs really light with 2/2S1P in series...

                        Thanks Doby, this is just a small cove on my local Lake.. It is where we launch our real boat!!

                        The hound was hunting a rabbit, that was hiding under the boat dock!! LOL

                          Quick cat you have put together there. Nice work!! It is running way loose the weight will settle it down alot. With most cats power through the corrner will keep it stable
