Default Finished My SPRINT CAT pics with a fire up Vid....

Hi Guys
Over the last month or so I have been on here to get all the info from all you guys on what to do with this build. To all you people that gave me your expertise and great knowledge I really appreciate it because now Ive got something to be even more proud of. So I would like to say thanks to. Wally.. THE SPEED MASTER.. for his setup tips... Scott S.. from MOTOR-HEADS RACING for modding my 771carb and my zen26... Carmen from NEED.FOR.SPEED for building my pipe... Randy from MISTY-CREEK RC BOATS good old BC boy... Mart from the UK and to many others of you that chimed in on the first couple of posts so now for some pics.

Now that we are posting all these cool Sprint Cats, I might aswell post mine. It is has SS engine, redline pipe (2 5/8) coupler with internal stinger, 34%CG, speedmaster skeged strut with the skeg cut off, 2 and 1/2 inch stand off tappered rudder single pickup "really short", W2716x2 15 rake rounded and cupped. 68.9mph best reading so far, the video has it at 67.3mph. I wonder who gave me all the information to get my boat to reach 68.9mph ....... THANKS WALLY!!!!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4lXHNDflzQ

WOW , I was very impressed Eengler......Thats really hauling ! I could tell she was running a bit loose......but the almost empty fuel bag is why it was that loose. I would twirl some more cup in that prop for you if you wanted to get over 70

Later Wally
