Carbon fiber cheetah build

Morgan City. Me and a few friends just getting into electric. We always ran nitro boats.
Looks fast.

Here's the video. Had my son's friend upload for me. (I have a galaxy s5 and the text video is horrible)

OH NO Did he hit the wall.

I does look like it moves. He can't gps it because it's all carbon. Morgan city is quite a ways from me. I'm in the baton Rouge area. I actually have 2 more of these to build, including one for me which will be crazily over power (how I like to do things! Lol). Check this out..... this one i built is kinda fast too...

Wow that's rolling! I just picked up a new Black Jack V3. I ran it the other day and I'm in love. Lol. This is much easier than Nitro.

It is easier for sure. And that wasn't my fastest pass either. Lol. It was just a better video.

No problem! Sorry.if I sounded on edge this weekend. ..I was....my kids puppy got ran over the day after Christmas. We only had him for 4 months but we We're very attached to him. The low life who ran him over right in front of my house didn't bother to stop. The kids have been taking it really hard and I just haven't been in a good mood as a result of it.

No problem travis I understand things get get hard and I truly appreciate your help. I ran the cheetah to day and I can only get 35 mph top speed running 2 3s packs in series and 2 6 s packs in parallel something must be Wong might be running to wet I think I have the strut to low with the strut on the table the rear of the s ponsons are 4mm higher than the strut do you recommend a prop to run on a 4082 1600kv motor on 6s?

[kfxguy]

Sitting flat on table..... strut level and the bottom of the strut about 2mm to 3mm off the table. X447/3 prop or m645 prop.

Ok I will give both of those a try. Do they make a x645? Because I do have a x642 at hand I used on my spartan will that work? Whats the difference in the M and X series?

X series has more tongue. It does slow it down a bit at top speed but has better (supposedly) acceleration. I much prefer m series. They perform the best for me. Also an x series may pull more amps.

M series prop is an X series with the tongue/ ears cut off.

4 hours??? That long huh? I've got a motor mount I just glued with JB and I need to take the tape off in a few hours.

Glad I found this thread again... THX.

Yes sir, I time it. 4 hours and it's time to peel the tape. I use a gram scale to get my mix perfect every time
