does anyone else think pro boat should come out with a biger cat?

[montymike]

I have a mystic . Love the boat nothing is stock from the motor to the hardware to the hatch. But would be nice if proboat could come out with a miss geico, mystic,blackkack rtr im say the 34, 36 range wirh a 40mm motor fiber glass hatch good hardware flexshaft.. Fix the hopping! I d buy one any one else ?

[kfxguy]

More options is always nice.

I would rather buy a hull and get the motor and esc I want
instead of paying for a rtr and changing them anyway.

[montymike]

Good point... But a larger hull in that range would be cool

[kfxguy]

This actually sparked an idea for me. i tought about buying a bunch of fiberglass cheetah hulls and building some affordable higher end rtrs. Too bad i dont have the $$ to do it.

[montymike]

Thats a good hull id get one... Fast, stable and turns well...

[montymike]

U do the hull, hardw are, stuffing tube , survo and motor mount they want and let them install the motor , radio ,esc they want.

Me myself would go with speedmaster hardware .187 flex and hitec survo! Carbon fiber motor mount.

I use .187 flex on everything pretty much except my fantasm. ..it's got a .250 flex. I prefer the savox waterproof servo...I have them and put them in everything. Carbon motor mounts are mostly what I use. I've used a few nice looking cnc cut aluminum mounts too. Hardware...just depends on the hull. I've had about 5 or 6 rtr proboat boats. They use cheap servos, but decent hardware for the rudder and strut. Cheap trim tabs you have to bend and wood all on the inside that is easy to remove should you want to upgrade the innards. I would like another bare miss geico hull to build like I've been building my other boats. I think it would be pretty nice. I like those hulls besides the wawawawa they do...which I know how to fix now anyway.

Humm that would be a big no for me

RTR is easy, and most of the basics can be swapped for better internals and hardware... I would like to see something. Like a 36" Miss Geico. OR they could team up with Skater Powerboats/Douglas Marine to make a model of one of there big toys. I do like V hulls, for some reason they always pull me in. Maybe they could just team up and do a Top Gun Cigarette.... They would have to name it Liquid Prozac like my neighbors in this pic:


Scratch all that, I want a center console. It needs to be in the 50 mph range, 100 amp esc, powered on 4s. take a look at the big boy here: https://www.cigaretteracing.com/eng/42_huntress.php

I might settle of a Donzi or Baja though.... I actually prefer that they bring the Formula brand back... I am a 1:1 power boat "person". Nothing like owning a Cigarette.

But when it's time to crunch numbers they will just come out with another sailboat.... frusty.gif

EDIT: A Fountain would be nice!

Proboat just came out with a big cat, where have you been? Too bad it's gasoline, and recalled with all sorts of issues.
Would you really trust them to build a big rtr cat?

It was recalled?

at 1100 dollars for a gas cat you can count me out
