well - i dunno about him - but before the LST i was kinda browsing on what to spend my dosh on - but came across a german site ( http://www.hydromarine.de/ ) - they gave me a (rather large) quote for a wicked fast 15-20 minute run time cat (the maritimo - 950mm long - dunno inches) on 20 something cells and one of the lehner 22series motors....

But i had also heard very bad things about fine design - but some great things from Aussie guys about BBY racing and Fullers fast electrics ( http://www.drcwebservices.com/ffe/ )

another link for ya i found that might come in handy? http://www.rumrunnerracing.com/feforums/
