head of the river cat hull thread

Bulkhead template

Cut it a smidgen big so you can sand it to fit in nicely. May even want to do it outta balsa first, then cut it outta CF or whatever your using once you get it to fit your hull properly. And remember my boat is layed up w/ 5.7 carbon, so if your not laying yours up etc etc, cut it even a little bit bigger then a smidgen

Did anyone see my servo mount in my twin build thread???

Nice Idea, Johnny C. of HOTR has taken the design and had them cnc'ed and sells them for about $10.

He didn't make a low profile one....yet. He will...

[Jeff Wohlt]

Well mine is done with a 8XL, wire drive and bearing strut.

What prop should I start with? I was thinking m440 and then a X442 and maybe 445. Also have a X642.

Any clues? Running a 125Amp Etti ESC.

30C Lipos on 4S

I run a different 32" cat on 8Xl, 4S and an Etti 150 and she runs best on a 442.

You gunna post some pics????

[Alfa Spirit]

I need to start paint job now

[tiqueman]

Without going back to see if you already mentioned.. how will you be painting it? Or are you looking for ideas?

Can you post a pic of yur deck.. what details did you add up there????

[Alfa Spirit]

I think I' ll paint my cat first with one color yellow or orange, the lower part of the hull will stay white
I bought an other motor, a used KD 540XL 9 turns 1900kV, 42180 RPM under 6S. Is it too much?

[tiqueman]

Nice choices. Both look good and easy to see on the water. Post some pics up when your done.

A tad unless you plan on just running SAW's...

30- 35,000 rpm would have done.

[Alfa Spirit]

Yes I know, with my FSD 540XL 11 turns, 1500kV, motor takes 33500 RPM under 6S, I bought this low price KD 1900kV just for fun

[ray schrauwen]

9xl on 6s will give you the giggles, maybe dirty underpants too, hang on.

[Alfa Spirit]

What do you mean, too much RPM with the 540XL/9?

[ray schrauwen]

Its allot of rpm and if you get a smaller prop to hook up that p[ower, it's gunna be snakey fast, pulling allot of amps too, depending on prop.
