    twin lynx cat

    Here's my latest build. Started it a while back, never really completed it much past making a template for the motor mount and painting it. Did it backwards but hey.

    It's got leopard 28mm 2550 kv motors

    Now all that's left is mounting esc's, cutting the flexs, and getting props n cooling lines run.

        Very , very nice, love how the motors are positioned!
        Hey, those stingers look trick, did you cut them down? Like the braces.

        Too many boats, not enough time...

          No they are 4mm tfl stingers, drilled out to use speed master 3/16 bushing. I had to grind the tops to clear the overhang. I dint snap a pic of that

            Looks great, should be a REALLY fun little boat to toss in the drink.

                Any prop suggestions to start with? My esc are only 50 amp so I'm hoping it's enough to last on 3s with the occasional 4s run if the batteries fit now

                  I would think 40mm or less even to still have handling. Perhaps something in the CNC or PropShop lineup.
                  My first set that actually comes to mind are CR 35mm. But I have no idea what those motors would push.

                    Thanks, I guess it's going to be trial and error. I do like using the cnc props for testing since they are pretty much bolt on and go.

                      Also tend not to load things quite so much ;-)

                        Very true! Man one thing I can say after this one, never again will I build a small twin....such a pain in the butt to fit everything and get screws started.

                          I have one of these on the shelf with single drive setup parts. Was thinking a Twin would be be but... Upon reading this, I think I'll stay single. Lol

                              Yea I've had most the parts laying here for almost a year. Scott did the inlay for me, was orange but we all know how that goes. Once it's wet it turns red. But oh well it still works. I got it about the same time the mini mystic came out and wanted to do something similar but far less money.
