Put the battery on the port side toward the rear of the hull about 1 inch from the transom. Move fore and aft to adjust ride/attitude. I'm using a 2200 mAh PolyRC, and since it's a snug fit under the deck it NEVER comes loose...and I've rolled this little guy at least a dozen times and it just keeps on truckin'
don't ever think of buying this boat from anybody
but jim(sailr) even if his is twice the price(and its not)
thanx to him my boat is kicken a$$....
dead heat against my buddys jollymotor(but cut turns like a knive)

Thanks for the vote of confidence! Your boat looks great!

hmmm u need to post some things done to that cause it looks like it could help my boat out alot the things uve done to that :)
actually the stickers get me only another 3mph but i'll take what i can get..lol
sailr is correct as far as handling goes but i also added the jollymotor rod boot
and turned the rudder assembly around and theaded the hole so i could add a nylon screw for the rudder safety.
also tinned the flex cable end for a snug fit and to
stop the damage from the set screws
I have to confess I have a Chinese mini v and a mini cat and a Minicat USA Starship. It is easy to see the difference in the flex tube stuffing box area the Minicat USA is way better.
Anyway of the two Chinese boats the mini v runs no problem but the cat version keeps taking on water. I have removed all fittings applied silicone etc and the water is reduced but it is still getting in. I get about 2-3 minutes of run before the water in the hull becomes an issue.
Looking at it the Teflon liner is a loose fit in the stuffing tube so was thinking that may be the problem Anyone have an idea how to seal the Teflon to the stuffing tube, more grease, hot glue, ca? ( hate to think of digging out the tube and redoing the whole assembly)
For those thinking of Chinese vs Minicat USA the money you save is not worth it if you cannot enjoy the boat. I learned my lesson, the real Minicat USA is the way to go.
Any help/suggestions on the water problem on the Chinese mini cat would be appreciated

I may be biased because Jim ( Sailr) is a friend and lives, basically, around the corner from me, but bottom line, he supports his product. Do the research..his products are what they are, fun, reliable and excellent quality for the price. Not race proven for the current classes, but I understand at least one of his hulls will be run in the 2010 Nats by a very competative driver.
Boats don't win races, drivers do.
