    Exceed flowmaster cat

    Hi Everyone,

    Just wanted to share one of my builds. This is my first time posting a build on the forums, and I wanted to use this opportunity to say my thanks to the community and everyone I've ever PM'ed for help and questions. And, most importantly, I wanted to thank Manuel for his help throughout my rc boating experience. His patience knows no bounds, such a humble and modest guy with tons of knowledge. I appreciate his time and effort to answer all my questions and some day I hope to return the favor somehow.

    Here is my build, plain and simple... This cat started its life as a fiberglass hull, 650mm in length. I stripped it down, did a hull and hatch inlay with 12k cf, plus 4lbs density foam in the bow, and other cosmetic junk. I had a lehner 1940 laying around, so why not throw it into use on this one... Although it's "slightly" overdone in the power aspect, this has been one of the most fun projects to date. If it doesn't sink right away, it'll be using 2 dinogy 3s batteries (65c - 4000mah) in series (6s...) with a seaking 180A V3 ESC. Should make for a fun launch.

    Here is what it looked like before:



    And here is what I have so far

    Here are my other 2 hulls that I'm building, an mhz 114 and 138... And my third cat on the bottom there.

            That hull has amazing detail. Anyone know if it's still available?? Nice job on the build so far.

                Says it's out of stock everywhere... I finished this build, but my goal of running it at over 50 mph on 6s didn't pan out so well - it had too much torque roll and would jump out of the water and do multiple corks around itself every time, even from a rolling start. It's really nothing more than a cute little toy boat with an outstanding paint job and detail. Knowing that I wouldn't be happy with it running any slower, I sold it to someone local who now enjoys running it conservatively.

                    As long as you stay within 35-40 mph, the boat is fine. On 4s that motor is good for sure.

                          Which seaking v3? A seaking 180 will not fit unless you shave off the bottom. Grab an 80a or 90a seaking. It'll be good if you only run 4s with a 38mm or 40mm prop. The motor is good and will fit without an issue.

                              120a will fit fine. Anything bigger will not fit comfortably. But don't run any more than 4s on that motor with 120a.
