37" Fightercat Daytona Carbon Fiber Catamaran LE #068

[jj2003]

It's been done for a month or so now but I'm finished building my first ever FE. Its a Fightercat Racing 37" Carbon Fiber Daytona Catamaran, powered by twin Turnigy T600 1400kv's with two 75v-200amp ESC's, backed by 2 Zippy 5000mah 6S1P's. The majority of the hardware is from Fightercat Racing but it also has presents from OSE and Kintec. Thanks to Ben, Steve and Jan for all the parts AND to all the guys for thier input. I'm totally new to FE but with all thier help it has made my start a succesful one as well as my next build currently in progress.( Another 37" Twin powered Cat)

Looks GREAT! GREAT job!!!! I love the way your motors line up perfectly straight. That is very hard to do on a twin and you got it right on! Have fun with her! :)

Thanks! It was a bit of work to get the mounts just right. A bit a tweaking here and there, but I used a small vise when they were still soft in the epoxy and clamped them down when they were lined up. They are solid like a rock now after it hardened up. I started off small on 3s as seen in some of the vids. I had to remove the camera on 6s as it was too much to keep it mounted and on 10s it barely stays on the water. 3s2p is just right as two 5s batts is very heavy. I tried two 6s packs in single config to each motor and it is extremely heavy. I backed it off to two 3s packs in parallel to make 6s and its perfect. Thanks again for the compliment!
