CLONE Skunkworks Gen2 Cat?????

[egneg]

I have twin Aveox 36/30/1.5 motors with T120 ESC's. I have the Venom 36mm cnc props at present but am prepping a pair of 38mm/2 props from Fighter Cat.

I have one as well, picked it up from bigpapa a couple of months ago. Should be ready for water in a week or to. I will post pics later today. Anyone have an inside pic with ESC's and batteries installed for twin? Trying to finilize my layout.

The motor mount was from SouthRiverRC. A 1512/1800 should work fine on 4S, just watch the heat as it has minimal mass to handle it and won't swing large props like a larger motor will. My Skunk was over-built to survive 80 mph crashes - which it did just fine.

Thanks for the info on the mounts. I'll check it out. Need to get as much info as I can before I start my build. I know a little more than a monkey when it comes to cats! Hahaha! Well, I have a 1512 1800kv, KB45 kv unknown yet I got as a gift last Christmas from egneg ( Thanks again Egneg!) if I decide to go single drive. Unless I'll be able to find a 1521 or 1515 locally. Still searching thou. I also have a pair of Feigao 540 10XL's if I'll go with twins. Not yet sure what to do? hahaha!

Those aveox are really Nice. Somehow I find it hard to locate a store that offers them. with the props, I have a pair counter rotating X442 I believe they were S/B by you but I got them from another member. where di you get your rudder by the way? That thing is sweet!

Now there are seven of us that have a gen2 skunk. So, you're going twins! What motors are you going use?

The Aveox motors are no longer made but are comparable to Neu's. As for the rudder it was a gift from diego boy and I believe it is a German.

I got the next to last one on ebay from Scott. I have not yet started building it yet. It looks so sweet just sitting there.

Just read this, I also have one of them. Hanging from the ceiling in the workshop waiting for a cold cold day in june when I will build it..... Brian

They are available on Ebay from China painted a dark blue/black colour. DTRC models made them too besides "Skunkworks".

Same hull, they also sell the Gen1, a great LSO boat.

When my My Skunkworks 2 arrived from the States, I had reinforced her with extra glass then kept in her box for 4 months now! Geez!

I saw that one too Ray! I wonder how's the quality? i love how scott made the skunkworks 2. It's very well made!

[ray schrauwen]

I bought one of the Red white & black Sprint cat knock off ones and the quality is very, very good. Sponsons are very flat & true. Solid, needs no extra material except a transom block of wood. I'll use just a small patch for the rudder & strut.

Edges are not so sharp but, thats the heavy paint. Paint is very well done. I'd say a 8.5/10 hull quality but, I have to modfy the exhaust from nitro to sealed electric. Very easy actually.

This is the start. I used black cf to cover and make tape down overhang.

[tagasagwan]

That is nice! Love to see her progress Bro! Are you gonna start a build thread for her? A friend of mine who's in the fiberglass business is creating a 37" Cat with turbine canopy based from the Geico offshore boat and a one off 40" Cigarette type deep-v boat. What electronics are you gonna use with your new toy?

[ray schrauwen]

I'll do a small build thread as it will be quick. The strut get here tomorrow and I have all other parts to setup as Limited Spec offshore.

For LSO just a 1850Kv Arc 3655 (our club allows all motors 36mm x 56mm max, max 2100kv inrunner or outrunner. I may try a AQ UL-1 motor I have but, it's heavier than a Miss Geico bu a little.

Just running 5800 Turnigy packs and 150 amp Hi-model esc or 120 amp T120.

I'm making the motor mount convertable to longer motors with tail ring support just in case I get the itch for more power but, the Arc wuld be really fun on 5S.

I don't see the CF there. Hehe

[tagasagwan]

hey Shawn! Nice to see you here! I believe the photo was taken before it was sealed off. It was originally for nitro. just like our SM29 then we made it Electric.
