Nice looking boats. Who has tested them? Just the manufacturer thus far?

I was trying to get him to send me a tester a while back but he didn't seem interested.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) was -
They're website makes some bold claims. They might need someone with a reputation to vouch for the performance to sell us on them.Noisy personComment

I think you'd be a good candidate and so would I. If this boat is a good and nice as he says it is, I'd be glad to test it and vouch for him. I do talk to mike from time to time and he seems like a good guy and I wouldn't mind helping him. He sounded like he didn't want/need any help getting the word out. I think that's what it's going to take to sell to the guys here...we are no normal consumers here....but we could be a good market for him. I have an oval course not far from my house and I'd like to test an oval boat there. The boats I've been running lately are mainly straight line. I'm pretty sure youve got a nice testing spot too. :)32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment

There is a vid from October around post 65 with him running - Not sure on the power plant used, there was some debate during the club run. So not sure if this is limited power or sss power.

Looks similar to a Cheetah hull (but totally different after closer inspection), all fiberglass. It has a SSS 4075 motor, Seaking 120a, pretty basic for $589 without shipping.
You could build a 60+ mph Kevlar enforced Cheetah for similar price using TP or Leopard motors, 180a ESC and better all around build.
Obviously they need to make money, so factoring their labor and cost to do business, it seems like a decent deal, but I would not spec a 120a ESC for 6S.Last edited by SD Eracer; 11-10-2015, 05:54 PM.Comment

At least one of our club members inquired about getting one less the SSS setup as he would have run it in limited. Very limited quantities without the full setup. If I was after full P I wouldn't run an SSS. That's the only place for this as sold.
Nice looking hulls and TFL layups so the glass should be pretty good. I believe the hardware is similar to the Genesis. It would be nice to see more shots of it. Like the bottom and the step profiles.
Could be he's not after us RC racer fools. We're a different breed. No offense to any of us. haha Maybe he's thinking primary market will be guys with full scale equivalents. That's a group he clearly is familiar with. Nobody has gone after that market before as far as I know. It's possible I suppose.
We're out of test time up here in MI. We pulled our course this past Saturday. I do have another puddle to play on but the water will be hard in not too long.Noisy personComment

Yup, just saw that thread for the OSE ARTR Cheetah, looks like a fantastic deal, though I think I would go with the 2000kv SSS. I'll be running twins of that motor in my HPR 115 soon. Just ordered the flexshafts from Steve to complete that boat.
Most of the profile of that Promarine is Cheetah, almost carbon copy, except the top rear end which has a completely different design.Comment

HPR 115 and the Cheetah are two different critters. 11" difference in length alone.Noisy personComment

I'm lucky we get to run here almost year round. Only thing that gets me at this time of the year is the rain. I think it's timed perfectly against me. It's clear during the week and raining on the weekend.
It's definitely not a cheetah hull. He's texted me a bunch of pics of it. If you want pics of the bottom I'll get some. I honestly think it looks like a nice boat and it will ring something to the hobby just like all boats do....more selection. I really like the scale looks. It's closely proportioned to a 1:1 skater hull.32" carbon rivercat single 4s 102mph, 27” mini Rivercat 92mph, kbb34 91mph, jessej micro cat(too fast) wasComment
