    another cat build

    i got my boat today and it's time to start the build...i don't have the money to order my stuff right now so i did what i could with out money lol....

    a lil info about the set up i'm going to be running is:

    Motor and esc: Aquacraft sv27 setup

    Rudder and strut: Catamaran Strut and Rudder System

    Batteries: I'm just going to get a few 3s lipos and run them in parrallel(i think) to double the mah

    and that really is basicly it lol...

    here is what i did today:

    first i pulled off the rudders and prop shafts and everything that were on the boat:



    next pulled the radio box and motor mounts out:


    and i did all that with only accidenly putting one hole in the hull lol:

        The hull in question is a Great Planes Wildcat. I have one.
        Originally had a pair of brushed 550 cans.
        I have all sorts of motor combos in there and it is currently setup with 700SC that has been on 14cells but not seen lipo in this hull.
        It was my first boat and I did a lot to it in my quest for speed and knowledge.

        IMO a XL in here would be a bit much.

        If you have the patience, time , skill and materials you can do anything you want.
        the boat is quite a nice looker but mine now lives on my shelf.
        Here is some of its history
