Brian makes somewhat unsuccessful attempt to take shortcut through island :

This is what can happen when a CELL goes dead in the middle of a 135mph pass, instant pull to the left, lucky me there is zero damage only cosmetic. If this would have happend Friday it would have been in tha water Saturday.

Very nice! (Well some not so nice)

Question:

Question:
P-Cat, can you run twin motor setups with 4S to each motor and still be leagal in ths class?

Yes, NAMBA allows dual motors in the P Catamaran class. I run dual motors in my P Cat with one 4 cell 5000 mah battery to each motor

[Kris Flynn]

Hi Boyd,

Thanks for the reply. Great results!

Is the twin motor setup the same for all classes? or just Cat?

[Darin Jordan]

Hi Boyd,

Thanks for the reply. Great results!

Kris,

P thru T can run "any motor(s)"... for all hull-types.

M2 and N2 are single-motor only... even for Cat (would love to see that one change... Twin-N2 Cat would be fun)...

[Darin Jordan]

OH... P-LTD specifies and "SINGLE" motor as well...
