Mean Machine vs HK Genesis

[hnm738]

Hi, Im looking to buy a cat and not sure what to get, im also open to riggers or hydro if you provide suggestion. I have a aquastar 3974 2200kv motor, esc and 4s 5000mah 30c lipos already. My aim is to get low 50mph.

i can buy a genesis ARTR for $220 delivered which comes with hardware installed and 3674 2000kv motor.

if i was to get a mean machine hull and build it, this would cost me $350 -$400.

similarly, geico, or blackjack would cost me $400 delivered for the rtr.

im just wandering is the mean machine worth the extra $130 over the genesis?

thanks

Hi,
The Genesis or Daytona hull is like a dragster and good for high speeds and straight run,
It is very narrow and can be made to handle pretty good with a offset rudder.

The Mean machine is a lot wider and will handle tighter turns,
And also I think it can handle a little more choppy water to.

I have both hulls,
But the MM is not done yet.

Hears the Daytona on 4s in parallel SK180a esc and Neu 1515 1y 2200kv with x442 prop.

I'm not sure what you're basing your pricing on, but I think it will cost you well over $400 to build a decent Mean Machine by the time all is said and done............

I have all the electrical component as well as octura m445. So the cost ghe mean machine I would assume be around 350$ as I just need hull, rudder, tube etc.
