When do you expect delivery?

**kookie_guy** · 06-20-2010, 12:11 AM

Went to LHS and was told the miss geico would be available late july. Sucks, as I want the hull now. lol.

**blackcat26** · 06-20-2010, 07:39 AM

I'm thinking twinsky's big time! Looks like a great hull for it.

**bigpapa** · 06-23-2010, 03:09 PM

**properchopper** · 06-25-2010, 12:54 PM

Just found out that a new friend here in SoCal has one on order & wants to run with the SoCal guys. Yay ! I get to experience the boat firsthhand.

Am I correct in thinking that you have to take the rudder off everytime you lube the shaft on this boat or is this a stupid question?

It's not a stupid question... Yes, to lube the shaft, you'll have to swing the rudder up. It's a pain, I agree, but was a design compromise that was made.

Thankyou Darin- titan or this boat

what to do! I like the way this rides through the water better- Upgrade the motor and esc? What are your thoughts? I know I am being pre mature!

**Rumdog** · 07-01-2010, 11:46 PM

Upgrade the prop! The motor is a very good one!

Ditto with the Rumdog... This boat should do 40 out of the box... and with decent batteries and a prop change, much faster.

Tough to compare it to the Titan... One is a mono, one is a Cat... they are different creatures, so pick your poison!

However, the Geico will me more fun once AQ get's their RTR on the market, and we can have some offshore fun!!

**davidb** · 07-02-2010, 12:52 AM

One last question- All I have ever had are monos.(big boats as well) What should I expect differently from this cat? In bigger cats(big boat 500 plus HP) that I have rode in when you get up to around 80 they tap back and forth side to side. Monos like my baja hammer power through with some front bounce. Are RC cats more stable? It looks it in the video. The reason I asked about a bigger esc and motor is that I was watching the real Miss G the other day!

Oh my gosh! amazing boat! Thanks for the input!

**Brushless01** · 07-02-2010, 12:43 PM

Would a 7xl on 4s work in this ??

**bigpapa** · 07-02-2010, 12:49 PM

mine is orderd ............. late july they say

**johnf** · 07-02-2010, 02:05 PM

Any updates on these? Darin, have you gotten to mess with one any more?

**Darin Jordan** · 07-02-2010, 03:12 PM

Nope... still waiting for mine too...

**Jeff Wohlt** · 07-02-2010, 03:32 PM

If they are using the same BJ set up then 5S on this would be fun!

**johnf** · 07-02-2010, 03:55 PM

Will the motor or ESC support 5s?

**Brushless55** · 07-02-2010, 04:14 PM

Apparently they do it with the BJ26 all the time.... I've never tried it myself.

**johnf** · 07-02-2010, 04:56 PM

Well that is interesting! Can't wait to see some vids of these things scooting around after being setup on 5s. I know some of you crazies are gonna do it! Please get it on video! haha

My uncle has a hustler 377 talon with twin blown 540ci merc motors and #6 drives. It has a gps'd top speed of 138mph. The nice thing about a cat is that with air compressing under the tunnel, it can float like an airplane wing, and skip across the waves at high speed, as opposed to pushing through them with a v-hull. A cat hull will obviously turn flat as opposed to a V-bottom which will lean into the turns. This can take a little getting used to, as one might be a little afraid that a cat might flip easier in the turns. But a cat hull of the same length as a "V" will handle more speed. I have several cats and vees the same. They are soo different. I love the straightaway speed of a cat, but also the superior turning ability of a V.

**forescott** · 07-02-2010, 08:29 PM

Either way the Miss geicko is sure to be a hit for proboat, and all fe enthusiasts!!

**johnf** · 07-02-2010, 08:38 PM

I think you are right. This boat looks fantastic.

**davidb** · 07-03-2010, 01:37 PM

Forescott thank you very much for answering my question! This will be my first rc cat and I am pumped!
