YOU SUCK!!!!! smooth quite sexy cat!!! wish mine was

[Cooper]

Haha big mark!! I got more fiddle time in mine!! Lol!!

Here's the big guy being pulled by the lil guy!! I had the front tires filled with bb's , as many as could possibly fit, but when I tried to turn sharp load with d11 they just rolled off rims. This may be a case for the bead lock rims.

Oops, it was a mess up not big mark, but bigford or mark!! Got both duhh. I tried to slow things down with limiting amount of valve travel (end points). Have to set some expo in the swing yet to smooth the initial part out. I oblonged the holes in the swing motor mount to get a little tighter mesh. That may just be a temporary solution and cause more wear.

hey cooper, great build on the trailer!
can you possibly do some in depth description/pics on how the axles work and are put together?

[bigford]

not sure about PA dot law BUT that wont fly in NY!!! sweet job ralph!!!

A video loading. Can realize the size of cat by loading with three scoops. I think an adt is in need .

Pyro, I'll get some pics on the axle set up.

Yeah I'm pretty sure pen dot would be issuing some fines.

[Chi-Noos]

Wow!!!!!!! I knew that the d11 was huge but I never would have guessed that it was that much bigger than your rig.....

[Trucker_Jo]

First of all wow, looks great cooper. I haven't checked out how your construction company has come along since the d11 was built. I will have to check in more often, your builds are awesome!

[Cooper]

Thanks trucker Jo!!

This is what my inspiration for yellow paint on the daycab aeromax and building a trailer was;



My "go fast" boat. She has reached 115+ mph. Twins, 400 amps running 10s , 42volts, 2000mah with a 3-4min runtime. Melt downs are what limits runtime but after four 1/8 mile passes batteries are empty. She isn't fuel efficient as the trucks

[Cooper]

I forget who wanted but the dimensions for trailer are
Load deck 22"
Axle deck 13"
Overall with neck up 48"
King pin deck 8"
7" wide
9"< wide with extensions

And forget who about axles but if you page back I have a couple pics when I was building the trailer.
Photobucket somehow changed my pics to oldest first and I have 1200 or so, so when I want to img a pick I have to load all them 40 at a time (only on iPad?) don't know what I did or they did but it's a pita!! So I started another folder. Anyone else have issue with photo bucked on iPad? On my phone it's normal. ?

When I saw you post pics of your batteries and charger I thought.... why does he have enough batteries to power a small town?
Now it all makes sense!
You know the old acronym for boat? bring out another thousand. Is it also true with rc boats?

And I'd love to see a vid of that bad boy in the water sometime

[bigford]

that cat looks fast just sitting on the trailer

[TRUCKMAKER]

Nice boat Cooper and yes we need a video of a high speed pass, in the water not on the trailer

[Cooper]

I don't have many videos, this was one that was just over 100mph. She needed the struts moved some to get rid of the bounce. The river is about 175yards wide so the rooster tail is more than 150' long!! These videos don't do it any justice, it is a sight to actually see. Some guys have some new jet skis all hopped up and are kind of Richard knoggen's towards everyone , it's funny they have to admit defeat by a little toy boat that beats their fast jet skis. So far it's the fastest thing on river by far.

Cooper-now your talking my language!! I am a boat guy at heart. I raced hard for 25+ years and loved every minute of it until I lost my vision and had to quit. That is definitely a 100-mph pass!!

I've always had an interest in the RC stuff, years ago we got a Riverlot and ended up having my neighbor into RC stuff too!! Couldn't ask for a better neighbor. It started with him having a boat, then me getting one, then him a faster one, then me a faster one, ect,,, then he showed me garden trucking and it just ballooned into what you see now. .

Modelman, it's guys like you that have paved the way for me to enjoy the boats and other stuff too!! Appreciate your interest and would love to sit down with you and Justus listen. I know your sight is going but I'm sure you have many many insights into past and present fun times!! I will definitely be putting the MADD Catt into action more this summer, with some good quality and audio videos. The hull has not been compromised (yet) Spent most of a winter reinforcing with carbon and Kevlar to take the 100mph+ airborne re-entries onto concrete water. Spinning those props around 50k. I got a top speed of 119 but don't have the data or picture proof to back it up. My goal was 125mph. It's been a struggle to get anything over 120. You know, everything has to line up perfect, water, wind, temp, not to mention the hours of testing, tweaking, prop work, burnt esc, motors ect!! Took me about 2 months to get her to a reliable and steady 110 pass as the normal "have fun" just go out and run. (With the right water). At $350 a pop per motor I really do take care and try to eliminate all potential problems but pushing the edge usually ends up costing. I'm looking at some lmt motors for this year but the $$ is hard to part with for them. That boat acronym of another thousand, need about two hundred more for those motors!!!!

[steamer]

A hundred mile an hour my foot, that thing was approaching warp speed!!! I remember when I used to do that in a D utility and it would bring the adrenalinn level up a notch or two!!

Thanks For the dimensions Cooper I didn't realise that thing is four feet long

Lol!! I didn't eather until I measured it!!! Glad I didn't go with four axles!!!

[Supermario]

Thanks for sharing the boat video.
I showed it to a couple guys at work. The next thing you know I got a big crowd watching the video. The boss came around, he didn't look happy at first till he saw the video......then he was all smiles
