    I've got a nice single Cheetah that I could part with. I bought it off a quality boat builder over on the KBB forum last year, really well built with extra carbon layup, TP4070 1650Kv motor and a T-180. Not sure what the rules are on this part of the forum but feel free to PM me if the rules allow. I can take some pics if interested.

          Just took some pics, here ya go! A couple of things to mention, first, hatch has 6 holes for hatch bolts, there are 4 additional holes in the hatch so I could use this reinforced hatch with my other dual Cheetah. If you want I can fill them in nicely and you would not even know they were there. Second, small bit of gelcoat damage on the outer edge of one sponson, I figure this happened after hitting a floating stick but to be honest I never even noticed when it happened, hull has certainly never been crashed, see underside photos. The gelcoat should be an easy repair, again if interested I can do this for you and get it looking perfect on that one spot that is about 1" in size. Other than the hatch and that annoying mishap, the entire boat is basically like new. Esc needs to have connectors soldered back on as I was using this hull with an MGM esc, this T-180 has been sitting around for some time and was only used in my dual Cheetah on 4S. Flex is .187 with 3/16 shaft. Everything you see is included, all that is needed to finish is a servo, receiver and a few feet of watercooling hose that I will supply and route for you. Boat has really been just sitting for almost a year, I don't need to sell it and I kind of hate to but if you want to work out a fair deal I am open to it. Let me know if pics are acceptable and if I missed anything...oh and decals are easily removed and not under clearcoat.

              Looks good what version is the t180 if you don’t know that’s ok. Your second post did not send pictures through I assume they pictures of the electronics. With repairs what were you thinking for price.

                Just tried to re-upload in the post above, looks like it worked.

                Esc is second version, this one will serve you well I am sure unless you get silly with big props and 6S. If you really want to push this setup down the road I would recommend something beefier.

                Anyways, with repairs I would accept $500+shipping, would do my best to get the lowest rate and would arrive through USPS...I think that is a really fair deal factoring in the build time/effort and the hardware etc, it would be nice to see it go to a home that will enjoy it.

                If you are up for it I can start on the repairs tomorrow and won't take long.

                  I can see that it’s a nice build. Im planning on running this in p offshore 4s max I’m wondering if 1650kv is too low. Would you have any interest in excluding the motor from the sale.

                    OK great, SOLD to you! I'll PM you my paypal now...wait just saw your edited post. I could do it minus the motor but I can say this thing screamed on 4S, seemed easily more than fast enough for ovals and had to watch the throttle to keep it on the water. If you want I could do one of the following;
                    1) Send hull with motor and you try it out, could charge $400 for now and if you want the motor then $500...or whatever price we agree on for the motor.
                    2) Just send everything without the motor as you asked.

                    TBH 6S and even 5S seemed too much in terms of keeping this hull on the water, yeah you can dial it in to run wetter but she was a handful even for 4S and a prop like an ABC 1715 or X447.

                    I'm OK either way, I am pretty sure you will be impressed with the motor but no pressure.

                    Let me know what you think.
