    Default Cheetah repainted

    I have finally finished the repaint on my Cheetah and got it back on the water. Very happy with it and a bit of prop testing has it running quite well. I just have to work on the "perfect" prop for it and bit more dialing in and on water time to get used to it's handling.
    Motor is a SSS4082 2200kv, T-180 V2 esc. Best props so far, 444/3 cnc and M cut 447/3.

    Beautiful repaint! I'm contemplating buying a (dual motor) cheetah/cheetah XL and building it out myself (probably a hardware only purchase). in a "scale" style paint job (white hull, micro decals, lots of detail)

    Any tips/tricks for setup? going to be running on 6S/8S with dual 40mm motors, local lake is like 40ac and I can clip around at 40mph cruise for an hour (literally) and no one bothers me.

    What paint did you spray it with and did you prime it first?
