Cheeath

[SirBudman32]

Bought the hull awhile back and now getting things together and starting the build. First thing I did was a small pour of Z poxy in the transom to get it level on the inside and then covered it with some carbon/kevlar.

Now getting the hardware on the back.

Bud,
Take a minute and check my posts on Keith Bradley's forum regarding cracks in my Cheetah. If I was to build another, I would deffinetly put an additional layer of carbon cloth or carbon / Kevlar down before you go any further. If you intend to run in the 50mph and above, the Cheetah won't last without it.

I have seen your write up on the crack and plan on putting some more cloth in it. Thanks for the heads up.

I got the cheetah with aaded layer of cloth in it! Does it still need to be stronger? I'll be running twins!

Got the motor/ esc mount made. Put everything in the hull to find the cg. Now knowing where the motor will set I bit the bullet and drilled hole for the stuffing tube.

With the stuffing tube in it was time to glue down the motor mount battery and receiver tray. I used J.B. Weld to hold everything down. I then made some holder for the cooling lines out of carbon fiber to keep everything kinda neat and in place.

Will 6s 5000mah packs fit in the sponsons of this hull? Just curious. Good looking build, too!

[SirBudman32]

I also Stole one of properchopper ideas for the rudder linkage pass thru. I used a piece of 3/8 stainless tube I had laying around, must say works pretty good.

Also got my flex cut and soldered up. Getting good at soldering the flex with my new iron.

I don't see why not. Here is a pic with 5s setting in it.

i like the cooling line holders. gonna steal that idea

I have zippy 6s 5000mah packs. They won't fit without hull modifications if running twins. If running a big single then ya they'll fit you just have to slide them in through the back, the "mti cat," inspired hull area.
