Fast isn't always pretty.

You had me right to that point... It's FUGLY!!

FAST-but-UGLY!!

But I still think I want one...

Take a good look : This is the view [minus the roostertail] likely to be seen by most racers

I've seen that already, sitting on Greg's worktable... I even have my own video of it running on the course. My conclusion hasn't changed... Still UGLY...

Function over fashion works well too...

I love fast, well designed and built boats

Thank you!
I'm thinking of this or a Whip20

Have you had a chance to compare handling with the 4S versus 2x2S? I'm trying to decide on which battery config. to use...

Actually, Mark F runs his setup with a single 4S battery with great results. I'll be switching my setup to a single 4S as soon as I return the 2S batteries to Jan, who loaned them to me for testing. The reason I did the initial tests with 2S batteries was to show how easy it is to convert a UL-1 boat to the Insane boat - since most folks use 2S batteries in their UL-1's.

How many Mah do you use with the Leopard motor? 4s1p or 2p?

Mark runs a single 4S batt, IIRC it is 5000 mah. He can verify.

[MarkF]

I'm using thunderpower 3850 1p 30c packs in all the videos. I would recomend using 5000 mah though if you got them.

An interesting point, but I think a hydro and a cat run better with 2 batteries in series, positioned close to either sponson as far as balance is concerned, just my 2 cents, but as usual my thoughts can be easily proven wrong

When I raced last Sunday, I ran ThunderPower 4S 5000/45C. This is the first time this boat has been raced. I don't brag about very many boats, but this boat ran and handled very good. I was running a 447 backcut, detunge, tips rounded, 6 laps on a course where the straights were only 250'. The motor temp was around 108, and I was putting 2200 back into the batteries. In the next few weeks I'm going to switch the boat over to a 3S setup for P-Sport; this boat should be running 75+ easily.

What motor are you running on 4s?
sounds awesome only using 2200mah
