    32" CF Rivercat

    I really like the boat and it was built for me. I had a small thought in the back of my head the whole time about it being too much for me. It's hard to do this and I am sure I will be shamed on it for a while.

    So here is some stuff I know about it:
    .187 flex cables (x2)
    Traxxas TQi 2.4 radio
    M645

    AeroMarine Flexcable seal
    TP 1870kv motor
    Seaking 180V3
    Castle Cap pack
    Dimension engineering BEC (The biggest that I could find on OSE)
    CF Inlay
    Savox MG servo
    Traxxas voltage and temp sensor
    RX Capacitor
    Kintec Foam in the Sponsons
    Decals were made by MonoJeff, so they are also quality.
    FiberGlass Hatch reinforced with CF













    I WILL ONLY SHIP TO THE LOWER 48 ONLY... PayPal is also the only way (cash in the mail is a bad idea)

    So anyways what everyone is looking for:
    $1,000.00 with TWO 3Cell SPC lipos (6500mah) RTR without charger(s).



    Make an offer, I will say if I pass or not. I have a local interested but i don't think it will happen..................

    Travis built it for me, and he built it right. No trades please...
    Got my hatch back today! Travis was right, this thing is on the NO BENDY status! Looks good too!
    Price dropped to $900.00 shipped without lipos and radio system.

    We can do a Payment plan if needed... But I ship after last payment.

                I am going to put a smaller prop on it. Either a Prather 215 or P220... Hatch went out today for a repair.

                      He accidentally stepped on the hatch. I repaired it and its better than new. Has two layers of cf around the perimeter of the hatch. Here's a pic just to be clear....the Crack (maybe 1/2" long) was only seen it

                      f you bent the hatch btw. You can no longer bend it....


                      I left the center open so gps will still work.....

                          I had to get a FG hatch so GPS could get a signal... But as you can see Travis rebuilt it for me (Thank you!)
                          Still wondering how I stepped on the hatch!!! Make an offer, it's a shame to sell but numerous things have come in to play.

                              The glass hatch is stronger than the carbon hatch. The carbon one is one layer...the fiberglass is multiple and seems like a pretty solid layup. I think if he would have had the cf hatch and stepped on it the damage would have been alot worse. It's the best of both worlds now and much stronger. This boat is water tight with four easy to remove thumb screws. You do not use tape on this boat. The flex shaft does not need to come out for greasing, it has an aeromarine flex shaft seal with a lube fitting on it. It ran 77mph on its maiden voyage with partially run down lipos. This boat will run 80mph with a sharpened rudder. I didn't sharpen it because the goal of spartanator was 70mph on 6s and it crushed that with ease. Reliable setup, but make no mistake, this boat has to be respected. It has alot of power on tap...instantly...you jam the throttle from a dead stop and the boat will leap out the water. It's my nicest build so far and whoever buys it will not be disappointed!
