You should get it 2-3 days after you order it. He generaly is very quick. What kind of ESC and radio do you plan on using?

[Jesse J]

Great James, I can tell this guy found a great home. He was kinda bored sitting on the shelf next to the miniV who has not even seen water.

I'll be watching, have fun!

I'm in NY and I get it 2 days after it is shipped. You should either get it tuesday or wednesday the absolute latest depending on when Steve shipped the package.

[screwball]

i ordered it today, im used to the week and a half tower shipping but i have a few questions on some stuff thanks again jesse for the extra stuff that you included

the hole on this prop is slightly too small for the shaft whats the best way to open it up a little like should i drill it or file it down?


it always gets stuck im sure that i could force it on but i dont want to damage the shaft


also what is this? lol


and also where would you guys place the turnfins/trim tabs
i was thinking here



-James

[NorthernBoater]

Cats do not need turn fins or trim tabs.

[screwball]

northern im planning on using a sidewinder esc that is from an out of commisioned rc18t right now and my futaba 2pl with a R152JE reciever

[screwball]

[Jesse J]

that is an antenna mount. you can put it on the back and stick a tube in there to hold the antenna.

[screwball]

oh thanks jesse i wasnt sure on exactly what it was
any ideas on opening up the hole for that prop?


-James

[Tom M]

You could use a dremel and drill it open. I know people will end up objecting to that but its one way to do it.

[screwball]

thats what i was thinking but idk

[screwball]
