    Expresscraft THUNDERCAT

    Ok I have a question that I know someone on this site can answer for me
    How well or not do the Expresscraft Thundercat boats corner and run?
    I want to do a big twin, 50-60" on 6s
    I've thought about twin CC1717 motors on 6s or maybe a pair of CC1520's on 6-8s for some nuts rpms!

    http://www.expresscraft.com/thundercat.htm
    I have a total of 10 CC motors and need hulls to put them in
    Thank you

      You will ge more informed responses here:

      This is a discussion forum that covers all types of radio control model boats. Gasoline two cycles engines primarily are covered but we have sections for electric power and nitro as well. If it moves on the water we have a discussion for it!

              hey brushless so did u end up getting the thundercat? im brainstorming a setup for it. apparently there isnt much workable room in the transm for a twin setup. bill (the owner of the thunderbolt video on this thread) recommended me to the cc 2028. but jeez that thing is 300$....i used to run a leopard 5692 1000kv on my pb hydro 1/8 and that sucker was heavy bare hull. the 60" thundercat weighs approx. 10lbs bare hull. so yea did u consider it?
              If the #2 pencil is the most popular, why is it still #2?

                No I have not got one..
                I was wondering about the Thundercat and I cannot find anyone who has one to ask what they think of the cat..
                there is a guy in Oregon who does a splash of this hull that does custom gel-coats, and that's what I was thinking of getting
