Iknow, is Skun cat' s new hull is a HOR ?

[domwilson]

Not exactly. It looks similar but Scott designed this one. It is anticipated to be released soon.

[egneg]

No, there are similarities but it is quite different in materials and design.

Edit: Dom posted just before me - sorry.

[Alfa Spirit]

Ok, very similar to HOTR and Agitator

OZZIE you dar man , Look at the disease you have spread. I just love these Cats. Keep up the good work people. BONEWAR

thanks guys only just read back acouple of pages
i dont have mine any more have been playing with a mean machine running in a bigger pond now thats fairly rough and the MM eats it up
but i may get another hotr cat some were down the track
as some of you guys have found these hulls can get moving real quick on a cheap setup
a mate i run with has one with my old 7xl and a 447/3 prop i modded the thing is so fast my MM runs around the mid 40s and his cat passes mine like its sitting still
at these sort of speeds some carbonfibre reinforcement is a must as they are a very thin hull and the sponsons will crack

I'm amazed how much faster these are compaired to my MM with the same setup..

[ozzie-crawl]

they maybe a lot easier to get going fast in a straight line but would like to see one keep up with a MM on a oval course

Hey guys,

Well after taking some advice, I have now fitted some 3S Li-Po's, reset the prop hight as well as trying out some different props and man this thing flies!!!!
Don't know the actual speed but I was being chased by a guy with a big cat' and his GPS was showing 59.8.... He couldn't catch me!!! HA!

I received my HOTR Cat last week-end, the finish is very nice, no problem of symmetry. What a beautiful hull

[Alfa Spirit]

I have a question for guys using the HOTR Aluminum rudder and strut,I wanna know what kind of modification you did to mount 3/16" propellers
