    The boat I tested performed very well with the "stock" motor. With a simple prop change I got into the high 40s no sweat. The UL-1 motor is iffy on LSO boats IME - high speed but high amp draw too, and smallish props.

      D, you going to try the outrunner?
      I guess if it does come with the 1800kv, I know the esc can take 5s real easy

            Motor sitting on the shelf, I should buy another before they go outta stock. Never can have enough CC motors!!!!

                Now you just need 9 hulls to put them in lol.... I only picked up a 1512, 1518 and the 1800kv outrunner. I may pick up another outrunner though. Just encase I magically find something to put twins in

                        Not discouraging anyone's thought's on this boat, but if this Cat come's out looking anything like the prototype photo's I've seen...It will be very disappointing IMO. Too plain and simple, ugly to say the least. Just look's fat lol.

                        Maybe if it had the Motley Crew an silver may change a bit. Really wished it was atleast 35-37" ...That would be cool.

                          Nate, it is a purpose built racer. Not a scale cat. It should handle excellent.

                            Keep in mind, a bigger cat needs more power, more power = more cash for a rtr

                              I've never really understood why one would have to choose?? The "race" part is the part you can't usually see....

                              Offshore is going to be FUN in 2011!! Another THUMBS UP for the RTR crowd!!

                                I guess we will see when it's out and ready to ship. I'm sure it will look better with the Silver and Replica print. Wonder how it will run against the Proboat Geico hull.
