Cheetah rebuild

[Mad Racer]

Very nice rebuild.

Hard to believe it's the same boat.

Love the customizing parts. Very unique build indeed.

Lots just fantastic. Can't wait to see video of it on the water!

Who makes the rudder and strut? Did you drill out the front motor mount for the coupler to fit through?

Very cherry Cheetah, nice work!

[Mad Racer]

Certainly is a one of a kind of Cheetah now.

Love it .

Well, Here is my new ESC, a swordfish 220 Plus. This is my first experience data logging in a boat. Should be fun!!
It took a bit of effort to get the datalogger operational, just the normal learning curve.
Keeping the theme of hard cooling lines. all prepped up for install.

After a bit of a break, Im back to it.
I got the nes swordfish 220 Pro+ installed, and plumbed it.
Everything tucks neatly under the deck The ESC Cover will leave only part of the black block with the motor connectors on it.

I got everything back together.
I did not like the way my stuffing tube holder was working, so I replaced it with an STS. The STS has new, SEALED bearings in it

I have junky old batt right now, New Revoletrics are in route.

On the Areomarine STS:
kfxguy started using the BOCA yellow sealed bearings in the strut, and no longer needs to use an STS.
I plan on doing this trick on futue builds
You will need to drill out the strut to make the bearings fit, and probably start with a 0.25 sized strut for the mod. He suggests 4 bearing at a minimum recommends 6 for reliability.
for a 0.187 flex, these will fit the shaft : Boca SR156C

I'm running 5 on my mono which is a heavy load on it for sure. It seems to be holding up. Since it's running 91mph at the moment I imagine that having that many bearings isn't hurting it. And your right, water does not come up the flex anymore.

First run with the Revolectrics. I have the balance set to 9.5 from the back of the sponnsom, strut set to neutral, 0.25 inch from the bottom of the sponsons.
The rudder throw is WAY to much, I need to adjust the throw.
I have a x4 44 on here, Revolectrix 5500, 6s. everything is running cool.
