No, thats new as of today.
I like it, prettier than the apparition.
I want to see the 650mm version with single drive, really cute little 25" cat, nearly same paint scheme as this, or more the Seagad Knock-off...
Nice paint!

Yes, I noticed.. It will work but majot torqur roll turning in one direction.
Easy fix, HOR sells a pair of 37 or 38mm counter props for $12 a set.
This is the 25" one I want but, the Aussie place wants big $$$ for it. Way more than I'll pay.
here is the ebay link. I'll wait until they are cheaper... http://cgi.ebay.com/SAGA-650mm-ELECT...olled_Vehicles

RE: is this old news? HK Minicat
sec if the mini cat is B2848-2636kv water–cooled brushless so its 380
in my apparition ther are two of 380 2881kv Water cooled Brushless
they are the same sized motors?
the apparition is with higher KV so its running faster then the minicat on same battery's?
i have a dry box on the tunnel the distance between the battery's and the hatch is 5mm
the boat is handling very good at any conditions

RE: is this old news? HK Minicat
ok i re ask the question
do the apparition and the mini cat are the same capability of top speed with the same setup
the setup in my understanding is the motor ESC stinger attitude cell counts prop size?
and do the KV supremacy is contributing to apparition fore running faster then the mini cat on the same props and battery's ?
forgive me for my misunderstanding of speed

your questions are hard do understand
the single motor cat is smaller and does not need a big motor like the bigger cat
and if you have a twin cat just go for it and make the best of it

so are you trying to compare a twin motor cat to a single
your questions are hard do understand
the single motor cat is smaller and does not need a big motor like the bigger cat

RE: is this old news? HK Minicat
Is there any general verdict on this boat? It's rather tempting. I'm normally a gas boater so I don't know the electrics too well, but it seems nice for the price.
