Feedback on Hor Racing Zonda 41

I'm thinking of getting the above cat and run 8s, I've searched the forum and found very little info of them, so if anyone has one could they post any finding, info, hints on this post please

Ive heard someone broke off the transome on the carbon one
Id just get the fibreglass one and re enforce it.
its cheap, can run single or dual setups

I have a zonda and run it as a twin on 5s each side. Got tp 40mm 2000kv and swordfish 200 amp speedy fiberglass

I love the look of the carbon ones, is it worth the extra money for the Kevlar version?

[Mulisha]

I liked it to but cost stopped me buying on. Andrew said a transom broke off on carbon one I would look into that.

[<AJ>]

I'll try and dig up some more info, my thinking was that the Kevlar version should be stronger than the full carbon version??

I have the zonda carbon with twin 4074 2000kv and turnigy 180A esc on 5S.
It works great but the hull is very thin. It got only one layer of thin cf so you can se through the hull.
But the transom is re enforced and I layed a layer og cf over the motormounts and as far ahead as I could get to.
I think it will be tight to fit twin 8S but single should be fine.
My 5S packs do not fit in the midle of the hull, barely fits 4S.
I have run it with 450/3 props and it is FAST. I have no GPS run on it but i would guess way over 100km/h and the speed calc. here says 106.

I used SF 200 and can fit 2 turnigy nano tech 5s 5000mah

Really fast boat with even a small setup. You'll love it. I would get the fiberglass one and bulk it up. I own 3 tfl/horracing hulls (fc super daytona, standard daytona, and cheetah) they're nice hulls if you don't have plans to go really fast. They're very thin in some areas but reinforcing is part of the fun. The super daytona is great though its comparable to my mystic 138.

Where can I get a fibre glass 41?

Where can I get a fibre glass 41?

Im building one right now its called the fantasm and keithbradley or fightercat sells them with a carbon fiber and Kevlar inlay for less than $200. If you think $650 is a lot for a zonda cat it's not if you start pricing out parts. 2 cheap 4074 motors $200, two t180s $200, hull $200, batteries to run 6s $300 + $250-$400 for hardware servo, stingers etc. What im saying is its not a cheap boat to build from scratch and ill have over $1500 in mine after paint. And if you buy lets say castle escs and motors add another $500

Where abouts you live AJ?

[<AJ>]

In the UK, i think I'm going to order the Carbon version direct from Hor Racing
