    FighterCat57 how much? Got any pics?
    Yeah, actually a whole thread. Let me know what parts you want and make me an offer...

    I have the complete brushed setup too, minus one motor. Lotsa parts.

    EDIT* Just added a bunch of photos in the wildcat thread above.

      I am molding them thin trying to get detail, sand blasting the inside and glassing them. decks are .040, hulls are .030 to .060. Not sure, the first ones are still being built. It really is small!

      For your first boat, I would recommend going with fighter's cat. would be a good learning experience. Plus you should be able to beat him up pretty good on price/parts. He has too many projects going right now and he is on pain meds, momentary lack of reason might work out in your favor. Just don't ask him while he is gettng a boat ready to run.... He is a little jumpy about that!

      Just trying to help you out there fighter!

          Its not my first. my first was a nanokat. Made out of foam and thin ply. Started out with a brushed setup then went brushless and i was hooked. I do really like the look of your woork though. I´m def interested in one.
