[silvermansteve]

that's all, venom, now atomik, just released an electrified version of what looks like its 58 inch gas boat. you can see it in bigsquid rc.

[Rumdog]

Chaep 120 amp esc and a little outrunner

Motor is listed at $144 and looks like a hobbyking $30 outrunner.
Not a bad idea large rtr cat but i am sure when they start selling if there not way over priced, they will probably sell a fair amount as there is not much (if any) thing else electric in that size.
Just get ready on OSE for a flood of "help blew up my 58' venom boat today" lol

And does anyone want to place bets who will be the first OSE member to build one as a twin

[JIM MARCUM]

Working on my twin as we speak. JIM

[ozzie-crawl]

LOL i put 100 bucks on Jim being the first.

[ozzie-crawl]

where did you find the parts lists?

I found the motor listed this morning from venom. but now for the life of me i cant find it. the bigsquid links wont work and all i can get is venom Aus

[Brushless55]

it's got an 1100kv outrunner?
hull this size should use 10s I would think...

Hope someone from Venom does not come over here and try to sell this to everyone like its the greatest...

Maybe the gfreak guys bought venom and changed the name?

They may have done but i dont see any 100mph stage 3 water cooling line or 250mph lipo water cooling plates

[dana]

Lmao! True that

[ozzie-crawl]

Have to get me self some of these

[Rumdog]

I've got a few of those decals.
I don't get why anyone would buy any Venom boat, or boat products.

Because we like to go fast in a straight line & never turn, RUMMY. JIM

Notice you haven't curbed anyone's enthusiasm for our boats?
Folks buy Venom and will continue to. If you stepped back and looked at the threads you're doing this on, its not making you, or FE look good to newbies
Give it a rest man..

[Rumdog]

Dont send me crybaby PM's asking me to stop posting if you want to TRY to antagonize me.
Did you taddle yet?

On topic...
What gets me is that Venom chooses the use THE cheapest possible components to make the boat move. I cant wait to see how much M.S.R.P is on this thing.
Buying it to upgrade is ridiculous. The cost involved would be double than if you were to buy a quality hull and build yourself. Every bit of gear in and on this boat would have to go to hold up to the necessary power to move it well.
What is Atomik's warranty policy for FE boats?

Dear Rumdog?

Indeed in all humillity I asked you to stop following my every post with nagativity in a PM as any self respecting person would do.
I realize you need to make a name for yourself "typing to hear the keys click", but not off my winning name. I have no more response to your bitterness.

I do feel sorry for anyone with such pent up anger. I hope things get better for ya'.
No I didn't "tattle" on you, you're doing an EXCELLENT job yourself of projecting an image : )

I love my image. Its the one you see in my avitar.

Rumdog, its sad others choose to act like a child when trying to sell this venom boat, when your only posting comments..

Wow dude, get over yourself!
this is like traxxas/venom forums here...
slap anyone who has a comment that's not 100% pro traxxas/venom!
get a grip, as you once again drift from the OP to trash a member..

Ok Girls! could we all grow up and keep our silly egos in check?.
i always thought this forum was about FE and not about personal attacks. if you all will like to take it any further i can provide the Gloves and venue to continue.
What a shame. i have learn very little from this posting..

[ozzie-crawl]

Venom in Australia is awsome. They sell team durango and parts same price as Amain in the states.
Normaly here we pay close to close to double for a car and 3-5 times the price for parts.
But as for there own branded gear i would not touch. Onc3 bitten twice shy as they say.

Yep thats the motor http://www.atomik-rc.com/Store_3/Out...er-1100Kv.html

Thanks

[iamandrew]

Heyyy Venom will sell heaps of these boats for all the guys who dont know what they are doing and want to get everything at once.
I still feel sorry for anyone who buys it, because any replacement parts will be "out of stock" or even "coming soon" as soon as you break it hahahahaha
id be interested to see how well it turns because the gas one rolls a lot

[lomdel]

Which motor and ESC upgrade would you guys consider for this cat on 8S or even 10S?

I was thinkin leopard 5692 around 1000kv on 8s with a 240a speedy.

[lenny]

I was thinkin leopard 5692 around 1000kv on 8s with a 240a speedy.

The T600 1400kv on 6s with the right prop would get it going 50s I think,
Or better off with a 5692 730kv 8s or 10s with lots of power and big prop high speeds or smaller prop and lots of run time.

On 8s that motor will see 41k!
I think they have a new T700 motor from HK that cold be the one in this boat??
I still want to find the motor Atomik is using in this cat but the original version that we can get from HK for 50 or 60 bucks

This quote below does crack me up a bit:

"The Atomik design team pulled out all the stops with a whopping 2000 watts of brushless electric power out of the stock 1100Kv outrunner mounted in a water-cooled CNC aluminum motor mount. All that power is controlled with a robust 120A water-cooled ESC for a 40+ mph out of the box top speed."

It is a good lookin' hull...............with some TLC, fiber inlay reiforcement, and a 5692 it would be a nice boat........probably a 55 mph jobby.

This boat is most likely targeted for those that want big but dont need huge speed(the well-to-do white collar guy gettin' out on the weekend), we on this Forum tend to always go for the big speed...........racing.................SAW........ etc.

The boat could definitely use some more HP for the experienced boater, but as you said its targeted after the weekend warrior.
I've never bough an rc model and expected to run the stock stuff in it for too long personally. When I get involved with the power systems it will be a different story and its in the works..
As the most travelled FE racer in the country, I have rarely seen ANY production RTR boats used in SAW OR Racing unless its a designated club class for that particular boat. SAWS almost never.

Your constructive opinion without bashing is appreciated thank you.
Affective way of providing feed back.

[iamandrew]

well the hull is pretty light for a boat that size because its made out of epoxied tissue paper and crap wood rails
