All of our cats run very well with Zenoah's. Our big cats weigh in under 10 lbs. and pack a lot of air beneath the hull. As a matter of fact we are currently running a 58" Thundercat in NAMBA's very competitive GX 1 Cat class here in District 3. Usually 25 to 30 boats are in this class. We have been doing quite well, there are some racer's beating us but not really any boats. The few guy's that are ahead of us are beating other boater with there set up as well, if the top racer's were using our stuff they would still be beating us. We have never pushed Expresscraft as race boats in our 15 years of producing great product's but it's nice t know our style and scale appearance do not come at a cost in performance.

Lightning Cat building tips:

13" from spark plug to transom is a good engine location. be sure to make a smooth transaction from motor to strut with the flex shaft, this is the most important step in building the boat. If you use a rudder package  such as an Octura oc8str-q this places the rudder behind the prop, it will loose a little speed, 2/3 mph but the boat will turn good to the left and the right. If you use an Aero Marine strut and offset the rudder to the right make the rudder centered with the right hand engine rail this is a favorite amongst racers.
