Default phantom 29 catamaran

just picked a used phantom 29" from a good friend and painted it in metallic blue pearl red bull air racer colours i started off running it on 6s with a 45mm prop then thought what about running it on 8s with a 42mm prop that will give me 44,000 rpm and a better top speed

now its on 8s you can get great "tail out" power slides coming out of corners and big wheelies if you snap the throttle open from slow speed

Nice paint work! I have one too but, yours is impressive with that much power.

I found it heavy that it needed a fair bit of power. At 3.5lbs empty it's a hog but stable!

What motor is that in there???? KV??
