Mini Cat Racing USA always brings a big grin !

This time of the year I go on a road trip , usually I like to bring a few boats with me, been working and I realized some of my intended candidates weren't set up properly. So instead of thinking big, I thought to myself why not think SMALL???!!!
I am notorious for acquiring a boat and wait for a whole year to go by without sailing , so today I took the Mini-ECO out ( Got it from last year's summer sale that Jim offered) after going over and lay up one strip of FG on the inside wall on the FLOOD CHAMBER to make it stiffer, what a hoot to drive this little rascal! It's perfect for the smaller pond at the spot. I will also bring my Starship Outrigger. I have just about the entire line that Jim carries dating back to 2007!
Sorry for the terrible video, my first time trying out the Samsung HMX -W300, sun was in the eye, no way to even see where the boat was on the screen!

Love it! What size lipos can it fit?

Love it! What size lipos can it fit?

Usually a 3s in the range of capacity of 1800 to 2200 mAh. My Lipo battery's measurement: L=100mm, H=24mm, W=34mm. I used 20c but I have 30c as well, Jim at Mini Cat USA does not recommend going beyond 30c discharge rate, if I remember correctly.

Thanks for the measurements. You're one step ahead of what I was going to ask next. :)
