R2 Godspeed-U Catamaran

[gfm1135]

i purchased a RTR from Aquacraft and ready to step it up a bit. I would like to purchase a ARTR and and my own motor, ESC, servo and prop. Anybody have any experience with R2s 32.3 Godspeed cat? Any other suggestions?

Godspeed cats are flimsy. If you are handy, a mean machine cat is a winner, or check out fightercat hulls

Thanks Dana. My third boat most likely will be a bare hull build. I'm looking for a hull with rudder, drive shaft and mounts installed. I will add motor and electronics.

Flimbsy to some degree.

This is the twin.

They came out with some newer ones that are really fugly.

Ray, who makes that cat?

R2 Hobbies. I have one in the closet. If shipping wasn't nuts, I'd offer it to you.

I would still add some carbon for a hot setup like that.

I bought mine when they first came out, hopefully they are still as nice. I've heard some compaints of hull quality but, I hear similar from Hydro Marine occasionally too.

I didn't like thye 32" version. It can only be used for single, not twin and it's long & skinny. The 36" version is far nicer for single or twin.

Not alot of space for single motor with canopy the way it is in 36" version...

Choose your poisin...

A mean machine would be alot of fun and best for a single. Great hulls, can't be beat!!
