Default cyclone update

Hi to all its been a while

This was done on my cyclone's first outing still not sure why but think it had something to do with the battery pack i was left with one smashed up boat /one 5 cell pack in bits /one dented manifold/ one broken large 5745mg servo /one broken fuel tank/& Left the lake one pissed of guy![:@]

Its now been rebuilt by myself and look's pretty cool or i think so!

Also have finished my dads cyclone "The yellow one " hes one happy guy going slow"should of got him a sail boat"
Hes running inn he's whh promod and learning to drive at the same time so fair play to him & he's exhaust sounds great i will get my hands on it & open it up & also get some video

Here's some video from yesterday

Good to see you found a more forgiving pond to run in (and one with a little more room to run also).

Nice job with the repair and good to see you didnt give up on her

Good to see you back mate,glad you decided to post the vid of the crash it just shows what can happen [X(],as i said when you did it a while back you did a first class job on the repairs.She looks great now and she certainly seems like she moves well,more to come no doubt too ,your dads boat looks good and i cant wait to see how she goes with that custom exhaust of his when he finally gets the confidence to give her some throttle .Cool vids keep em coming .

I have a few props in my bag for my next outing il also give my 3 7016/3 dasboata modded prop a try but it runs real well with the octura x472 i think it was..... Any suggestions

ive had a p280 on it and top speed it was seriousley fast top end but bit slow everywhere else
the octura x472 was & is great prop

Do you own a cyclone what u running and what speeds are you getting ive yet to get out my gps but id say 45-50+ so far

Are you running the stock engine on it? I'm running a mod 260 on the 41" cat, the prop is 6518/3, for the MPH, over 60 is not a problem.
