Mystic ARTR 1140mm 44" from Germany, how good is it.

Looking at getting one of these in c-aft material are these awesome?

I've got the MHZ 138 and it is "awesome", has an extra inlay. I have a few 100+mph crashes and most times it comes out fine but twice I have had damage, 1st time the hatch was dented in pretty badly and alot of the gelcoat came off but the hatch was not reinforced and I had forgotten to brace with foam inside, the foam if packed tightly works wonders in crashes and is a must if are pushing high numbers. Second incident part of the underside along outter edge came off, a strip about 6-8" long, it was a pretty easy fix and alot of sanding but came out fine.

Also, when you ask if these hulls are awesome, do you mean overall performance or quality? I can say MHZ are pretty magnificent hulls in both respects...just do the extra layup for insurance sake.

Cool good to hear, the one i am looking at has the extra layup , MHZ said good for Saw in the C-AFK .

[Lone-Wolf]

I too have the C-AFK, you should be fine without a layup but again, just extra insurance. Looking forward to seeing where you go with this.

Silly question but can you run the RX airial on the inside with this hull or you have to run the airial on the outside ?

[Lone-Wolf]

TBH I have only run it outside, my GPS does function inside the hull which is great remembering my hatch does not have an extra layup. Thing is, even if your Rx antenna works inside the hull I wouldn't do it because it's such a high speed hull and will be outta sight in a hurry, you'll want all the range you can get! I'm running a top of the line Futaba system and even it has gone out of range a couple of times on top speed passes!

Yes sir.
It works a treat , you just have to disconnect the battery when not in use, or the wifi booster will draw even when not in use and wreck your lipo , take a guess how i found that out
