    Fresh Twin Cheetah Build

    I just finished this build this weekend, it's a Cheetah with twin TP 4060s 1450kv and Swordfish 200 Pro Pluses run on 6s. Pearl Yellow paint with hand cut Cheetah spot vinyl graphics, Windshield decal and Cheetah lettering decal from Mono Jeff. Carbon Fiber parts from Kent Nata2run. Going to see how it does in the water next weekend. here's some picsDSC02400.jpgDSC02401.jpgDSC02403.jpgDSC02405.jpgDSC02407.jpg

        The answer is, how fast can it go and still stay in the water! With two TP 4060s (40mm x 88mm) on 6s there's no way I'll ever go as fast as it could go But 70mph would be nice if I can get it dialed in Thanx

            Thanx Jeff, The exhausts are the water outlets too. the stingers are 3/16 and adjustable length from 110mm to 130mm. I had to cut the mounting pad down some and redrill the holes so they would fit on the transoms

              Really nicely done, of the best looking cheetahs out there.

              Should run well in the straights and even better around turns. Again nice work look forward to running videos

                    I think you should mount the switches on the underside of the cf plate

                      I plan on flush mounting them from the underside, just haven't done it yet

                          Or just cut them off if you want. I remove mine and solder the wires together. Personal preference. Nice looking boat by the way.

                            Thanx Joel, I thought about that but I kinda like having them, if they ever go bad I'll probably cut them off.
