Any RC boat owners? looking for a cat
 

Looking into buying a cat-twin electric. probably 34" or larger, and needs to be fast. Would like 70 plus mph.
Dont know the first thing about em and looking for advice where to buy and what hull,motors, batteries etc.

Check out screamandfly.com, they have an R/C boat forum on their site

I have a 2 stroke Hydro well into the 90's

54inches long

I just picked this up but have not run it yet. My friend is real big into Rc's and he turned me to this one. We were really inpressed with the fit and finish of the boat. It looks great and has the new brushhless outrummer motors..

do a google search for Hanspeter rotschi , very cool elect cats !!!! 70+ to 90 + inch cats .or swiss model powerboats

Cant believe there is a post inquiring about a cat and none of the usual suspects have warned about "INSURANCE" :lolhit:

I don't own...but have been intrigued with Bonzi Sports line of rc's. Looks like they've just added a cat line as well.

you might need insurance for these electric rc,s also, theyre crazy fast.

Lots of info here.
I think you need to sign up even to just brows the forum. But the guys here will answer all the questions you have!

Thats a nice one, runs pretty good on the 4 cell batteries.

have you guys found the you tube of the twin turbine rc cat ? awsome

those are killer, but how would you buy one of them?

you would have to email him and go from there, big$$$$$$$ but cool as hell !

there was 1 in the Skater booth in Miami!!

I'll be running it with a pair of 4000 40c 3s batteries and with 36mmx1.4 props for starters ..

The R/C Skater that was at the Skater booth in Miami was a Class one RC by Tom and Peter owns it it currently runs just over 100mph he also has the C5000 Mytics 1 of the Gieco boat you see on you tube that runs just around 100mph as well. Not too bad for r/c boats that cost in the $20,000 range considering the MHZ Jet-cat Spm-5 turbines are 5K each.

yes ther are also a lot of knowledgable poeple over at Jim's rc boat dock that will help you with any of your ???'s

Good luck with whatever you get

anyone on here know about these toys ?

I just picked this up as a gift for a young guy.

I have no clue to date about the things to watch out for.

Has a pull start gas engine in it. Water cooled.

Never been in water.

Business client won it at a fund raiser.

I hope you can find these on youtube, Twin turbine rc miss geico (This is the shakedown run 4.40 min long) the other is miss geico rc turbine 2nd run (4.26 min long ) the first one is in a creek & just about stops traffic on the bridge in the background very cool.

That's a Pro-boat Miss Lumar Miss Bud Miss Elam etc etc depends on the Graphics. 43-45" 26cc stock zenoah 260 RTR boat should run 35-40 MPH. I have seen a few run not too bad for a "fun play" boat hydros in that class are running the RCMK RZ-254 evos or S-254 evos and with the JG V3 top ends and in the Whiplash hydro and seeing mid 80' low 90's. I have an old Hoover epoxy hydro with a V1 25.6 cc Zenoah and gettin 82mph oput of it.

Just watch the seams on the hull and be prepared for glasswork down the road nice looking hull but waaaayyyy underbuilt in the wrong places. I've had to do glass work on my Hoover hydro and paid 800.00 just for the hull but it's SUPER light. only a single layer of cloth and no gel but fast as H3LL!!! have fun with it !!!!!

Thats got Michaels (44MTI) paint job!

bonzi sports did the rigging on that boat .. they r the best around , I,ve bought 10 or so boats from them , and super happy with all ...:grinser010:

what you want is here http://www.aeromarinerc.com/ they have every size/catagory of rc boat you can think of, most can be bought RTR, I like the fun of rigging it myself.

Well finally going to get one, found a 50" twin electric
it will get repainted.....

Holy sh!t!!! :eek:That is very cool.

There was a site (cant think of what it is) that sells big apache and skater hulls and little miniature #6 drives. Freakin sweet!

Just saw this one. Isn't this kind of like asking about mopeds on a harley site? :party-smiley-004:

Go to www.offshoreelectrics.com

Great site with a wonderful forum. Realistic information there, lots of racers. Tons of couch captains on rcgroups and rcuniverse sites, but OSE is great. A bit more depth and participation than rumrunnerracing, which is also a good site.

Steve who operates OSE is a fantastic guy and a stand up business man. Has a good selection of items and ships really fast. Ask around before getting some of the venom products, some good and some are not so good. Lipo's are wonderful, but treat them well and respect them. Start off easy, you would be surprised at how a 40mph RC boat can get out of hand, 70 is NOT something for a novice. Lots of amps and bad things can happen to ESC and Lipo's inside the boat. Steep learning curve!

here is my 28 skater twin zenoahs

Now you've peaked my intrest. Any running footage? Enjoyed your 711 footage. Bob

Offshore electrics.com is where I found that 50" moped.
Think I'll paint it to match the Motion, maybe look into another carbon fiber one for some speed later on

hay bob no running shots doing a 62 inch duplicate of my 30 ft skater also 711 electrics should be cool

Here is one that looks fast even on snow http://www.youtube.com/user/lightnin.../7/vuNt0PUahTY

test post!!

Hi Catastrophe, You are willing to sell it, I am interested.

I know you're new here but this thread is 9 years old,

Thanks, I didn't mind. But where can I buy a boat like RTR,
