    Cheetah or team believer

    Narrowed my next boat down to these two hulls does anyone have experience with both or recommend one similar. Looking for a 65 to 75 mph electric.

    While you can get both of these hulls to the speeds you mentioned, they are not meant for top speed. Both the Cheetah & Team Beleaver are racing boats made to corner. This is because these hulls are wider than a top speed type hull such as a Fightercat Fantasm.
    My Cheetah single hits about 62mph but any disturbance, wind etc and it's a blow over because the hull is too short & packs too much air under the tunnel.
    Consider what it is you want the boat to do besides going fast...

      65-75 is pretty fast. If you want to go fast I suggest something like a df explorer or fightercat fantasm. these hulls will be fine at those speeds.

      The cheetah is fine but the aeromarine is way stronger/stiffer from the factory.

        This video should help you as clearly his intentions were to make a boat turn and it can certainly do that well.

          That is the oddest sounding boat I have ever heard...I can't put my finger on it, but it makes an unordinary sound for some reason. Looks like it runs well though

          I agree with Chip. If you want 75mph, look elsewhere. It CAN be done with the aforementioned hulls, I have done it with the Cheetah. It takes too much power though as the hull is not very efficient at high speeds. A Fantasm would be much better suited to go 75mph. The Explorer can definitely handle the speed, but it does not turn well at all and will spin out and flip regularly.

            Wow it handles good. I have a delta force explorer. Should I keep it for a go fast straight boat
            And get the team believer for a good turning-handling boat?

              It sounds like Teflon spinning

                Or maybe escs aren't synch'd correctly? Definitely sounds weird though. I would keep the delta force explorer for sure, then get the team believer for the turns.

                --Oh you're getting the new or old team believer? different hatch on the new one makes taping a LOT easier.
