Promarine?

Have you tested to see if the kv is accurate on those motors ? I have seen stated kv and actual vary a lot I myself haven't run the SS motors so I'm not saying you're wrong just odd.... very similar motors

Not yet, I am planning on getting a brushless motor tester to check all my motors, especially trying to match up my duals better.

However, I'm pretty sure they are just pulling less amps, making less power. Can't think of another reason why they seem less stressful on the 180a ESCs.

I remember throwing away those SSS motors that came with my TFL builds, funny now I'm cheer leading for them. I would say, if you have a boat that is borderline on a 180a, give a similar SSS a try, I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

Even if they make less power, my GPS hasn't really noticed it. Both my Genesis (73 mph) and Pursuit (67 mph) are running faster and cooler than ever before running those motors. I get longer runs and cooler temps for the same price as a Leopard motor of similar size.

Thanks for the info...."thinking through" what I want to put into 6s twin drive 36" cat.......4082 2000kv might be worth a try....

Unit now our stock SSS motor except 56 series and SSS PROMARINE motor 36-56-2030kv are 6 pole, the other all are 4 pole.

Has any OSE member purchased this boat....If so, what is the feedback?

I've checked his twitter account, he won some sort of race recently I think. He also had a nice booth at a RC convention with TFL.

Hi Monica,

Just to confirm, are you saying your 56 Series and Promarine 36-56- 2030kv are 6-pole, and all the others are 4 pole? Or the other way?

Hmmm, still looking for OSE members feedback who have purchased this hull, if any...not vendor provided feedback on social media formats.

Douggie,

We have three of them in our club racing as LSO boats. I believe several of the guys in Atlanta have purchaed them as well. Very stable and forgiving hull. Gets pricey when you have to immediately do a motor swap for LSO though.

Believe it or not we don't have a single FE cat in Atl.

But, FWIW Mike was at our Feb. GP race and we did get to check out the boat on and off the water. The boats are well built and seem to run just as good. If I was in the market for a cat I would give these a serious look!

[T.S.Davis]

We have 2 in our club so far. I've seen them run multiple times. I really believe these have potential. Unrealized thus far but the build is typical TFL. It's pretty good in my opinion. Not flimsy like some. That makes it a little heavier than a Lucas. Paper light doesn't win races anyway. It's respectable as is.

One of our members has gotten his moving quite well. Most impressive to me is the way it turns. It doesn't appear to have the typical variable turn radius that happens as your speed decreases through the turn. Many cats, as they settle start to turn harder. This didn't seem to do that. It looked like they were able to power through. I haven't actually driven it myself though. Just observation.

I don't think anyone here has worked the bottom on one yet though so there's likely still speed in the tank so to speak. The glass is typical and could use some edge and flats attention. It's close but just needs some love.

We'll be racing Limited cat this Sunday so we'll get to see how they stack up against the usual fair. My Mystic wont run but if it can hang with my sons modified Lucas it will be a winner.

No doubt. Tyler's Lucas is hooked up! He could put that boat wherever he wanted it in Atl.

[Flying Scotsman]

Thanks for the info guys. I thought this hull might have potential and nice to see some positive feedback from unbiased people who have seen these hulls run. I look forward to Terry's input after Sunday, if he posts. The thing that interests me is how it runs in race water, chop, and turning/maneuvering capability in comparison to other hulls, assuming the boat is setup correctly for the prevailing conditions.....calm individual top speed water runs are not of great interest to me...handling is.

I've seen my buddies run theirs and it is an awesome Cat! They swapped out the Stock Motors, ESC's and Servos all took a dump after a while on 6s.
Overall a great hull otherwise and fun to watch on the water!

[Brushless55]

Very nice looking boats for sure

He's testing a twin version of the skater now and I believe he has a V bottom being designed.
