What is the fastest mini these days? Cast your vote!

[jlanders001]

I'm taking a poll on the fastest mini out there under 17" Consider acceleration and top speed.

Please cast your vote. Name the make and model of the boat you think is the fastest around.

i love my minicat velocity 450 outrunner 2500kv on 4s x435 cut down to 32mm getting sv27(stock speed and very stable, my renegade doesnt run far behind it with 400 outrunner 3200kv 3s on a 431 or 531 oct but not as fast due to not being half as stable(spends alot ov time upside down)

The new GII Micro Hydro runs 42-45mph out of the box!

if were looking at top end speed, all round stability & unbelievable cornering them i believe theirs nothing comes close to a JAE Mini Sprint. Martin.

Is this Eco mini fast enough for you ?

That JAE is looking very good. I may go with that. Cornering is really something! I don't see how it stays stuck to the water during fast turns like that!

Does Mini Cat still make the Micro Bat? According to the reviews back in 2008 or so the Micro Bat was a good bit faster than the Micro Hydro ever was. You could drop in a 4S battery with the upgraded motor and ESC! That’s just plain sick. I was thinking about that boat when I first posted this thread.

Any other suggestions?

JAE minisprint is a great hull but its over 18" if built to the stock kit, I didn't realise this as its quoted as 17" on the Zipkits site and I had to cut about 1/2 an inch off the tips of my sponsons to get mine into the 450mm (17.75") max mini classes here.

That's neither Mini nor ECO, FYI this is Mini ECO Expert (the faster of the 2 Mini ECO classes) at the same event.

So Chuck, what ESC and motor are you running in that rigger? I'm thinking I'll probably go with the Mini Sprirt.

1. What ESC and motor is considered to be the fastest on 3S that will still fit in one of these?

2. Do people add esc and motor water cooling to mini riggers?

Thanks,

JTL
