Give him Kudos... this thing should be loads of fun on 5s :D Grrrrr.....[:@] Almost regret selling them but, I have other projects. I would really like one of these but, $339 or so is a tad steep for me. When are they expected in? |
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
It looks really nice (I've always liked the look of the real boat) and with Darin Jordan contributing to the design, it's really hard to pass up.
But...it's not out yet, AND The AQ catamaran is on the way too! I've been waiting for AQ to make a cat for a long time, and it looks really good from the preliminary photos. Decisions, decisions. |
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
I think this one looks more nice :D http://www.tflhobby.com/prd/EP/1/1_en.htm

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
and being who helped build the Miss Geico and the electronics it comes with, I'll take the ProBoat! |

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
impressive video. Not sure how much more speed it would handle as it's skating at those speeds (probably mid 30's) but for that power plant the setup looks perfect. Good looking boat. I'd like to see it in some chop.

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
I can see these selling very fast!
If you were to use a 1800Kv or the 2030Kv Aqua craft motors, a smaller prop, this thing would be bullistic. The hull looks fabulous.[8D] |
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
The more I look at it, the more I like it. That hardware is leaps and bounds better than that blasted steerable outdrive on the BJ26.
I think AQ will have a hard time beating this boat with their upcoming cat. I just don't see any downsides to the Miss Geico. I guess it could use a 2.4 ghz radio though (the boat has an antenna sticking out, so I don't think it's 2.4) Now with that inner lid that seals the inside of the hull, how well does it seal? Do I still need to tape the hatch (other than just minimally to hold it on in the event of a flip)? |

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
6s + x437? anybody know the specs on the esc? pretty sure that puts you right around 33,000 pretty close to a 2300 on 4s just a lot less heat
|
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
its a 45 amp esc

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
looks like that would be the first thing to go then, think the motor could handle 6s?
|
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
6S? on 30 inches? No I doubt the ESC would handle that much push.

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
you hitting 50 with the s220? too bad i turned mine down to fit my jet, i was running the 40-53 from aquacraft today, also have tried the x642 ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=93ufEkudcKA ) wish i still had that prop in good condition, might try to make it work but i'm missing a lot of toungue so the bottom end is going to be pretty horrible if i can pull it off, also have a x437 and x440, it was too choppy to try the 437 cause it cavitates a bit but when it hooked i pretty much had to back off cause i was already flying all over the place, will try next time i have some good water. My stock sv esc is no longer with me[:o]

RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
The Proboat is much nicer! ;)
and much much much, better warranty |
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
just got my miss geico today, my lhs didi not have the lipo batts so they have to order. cant wait, this boat looks cool hope it performs as well.
first upgrade i did was change the prop to the thundercat prop |
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
careful. Prop from a big nitro is likely not ideal for the little brushless beast. Do you know the specs of the TC prop?
|
RE: Miss Geico 29 Catamaran
Could I find out what props work best and what size lipos are you useing just got mine yesterday. I see if you are going to use lipos you need a programing card . Why not just ship the boats set up for lipos proboat.Need to see how your boat stand went together Mine sits on the boat funny
