    Would be a good beginner entry level ARTR for the guy wanting to see what direction he decides to embark upon. I can see issues with using a 540XL 6T can though. And 41k prop RPM? Seems too high.

    my thoughts exactly.
    sailr i know your an importer and will probably warrant these hate to see you forking out for new esc,s every time one gets run.
    they are very nice looking hull and will especialy appeal to new comers,problem i see is most of them treat boats like cars,they want to run them till the battry is flat
    i know the first hor cat i had ran a 6xl and a 100 amp tenshock esc, the esc would last about 1 min

    I see HOR and TFL on the side.

    Yep perfect for an entry level with room to grow.

    If it is the old HOR hull, its had alot of cosmetic work done huh.
    The Stern is tapered around like that of a mystic.

    Since when did we start calling boats sizes by there hardware included on the rear?

    Wonder what the twin setups goin to be like

    The 2075kv as indicated in the second pic would be spot-on for 4S though! Maybe the 2770kv of Sailr is a typo (or not?). I would upgrade to a 120A ESC as well, but what do I know...?

    I would also like to see the twin version. Please don't go and stick 2x 380 size cans in there! Two of the 2075kv 540XLs on 4S each would be great!!

    I like the resemblance to the Mystic hulls with the tapered rear end. Would the paint job and decals be included, Sailr?

    I assume you will offer us loyal OSE forum subscribers a good special deal and preference orders? Just kidding...

    dont get me wrong iam not knocking it,i think its a nice looking hull.
    but if it is a typo and its 2070kv would be perfect,unless it is a 36" hull

    That would be awesome. But I bet the price would scare away most newbs. They havent learned the power/ dollar factor yet most of us speed freaks crave and have adapted to.

    The motor is labeled 2075 kv. I want to know if that motor mount will be available as a seperate item?

    I was thinking the same thing about that motor mount. If it is a HOR hull its probably a new one. The hardware looks to be TFL. It looks pretty good. Not liking that paint scheme though.

    i think hor brought out a cheap twin conversion around the same time the ekos came out,not sure if its the same one someone asked about recently for useing in a MM,from memory was $100 u.s for 2 motors 2 stingers and motor mounts flex shafts/couplers.
    flexs are the sqaure end type were motor needs to be removed to remove flex

    I hate this setup lol
    If you run in salt most the time like me, you have to pull motor out everytime you use so that you can clean the shaft of salt water.
    Hence wanting to change the lil prince mono scott lol.

    Jim I spoke to them about decreasing the rpm and increasing the amp rating of the esc. I would hold suggest holding off until they do so.

    This is exactly the boat I'm looking for-- a big cat, single motor, fixed drive, no radio.

    I'm a noob, first boat was proboat fastech. I'm not at the point where I want to do a full build myself with a naked hull, but I really don't need another radio...

    I've scoured the internet looking for ATR big cats, and I can't find any!!

    I hope you bring her onlilne!

    Good eyes man, I want that mount tooooooo - where did it originate?

    Beautiful boat! sounds like a good one, I would like to see an option for a 180-200 amp ESC personally. Price tag yet?

    We won't have any idea of the price until we know the shipping cost landed at our warehouse. Now before you guys go crazy, you can upgrade the ESC if you want. Remember, this boat will probably sell for less than a Castle HV alone!

    HOR, Head of the River, is just a dealer in Hong Kong. They order enough boats to have their name put on them. They are NOT a manufacturer.
