        Wow! Lol! My phone has a weird sense of humor. The auto correct on this thing is pretty horrible.

            I just wanted to say, I called pro boat and talked to a really nice guy. He's sending me a new flex and collet. No complaints there! As always, awesome customer service. I wish I could say the same about the one and only and last dealing I had with aqua craft. Kudos pro boat!

              Fyi... the strut is non adjustable. It's for looks only. I modified mine to make it adjustable.

                After motor swap. Still on 3s. It runs much smoother than my previous shockwave. I think it's got a bit more speed left in it. Just playin around with it....I'm trying to see how fast I can make it compared to when I first started.

                    Thx, me too! You do know this is an rtr? It came looking cool like that! I did some strut and flex tube modifications and a motor and esc swap. I'm going to add some foam to the front of it and run it on 4s next. Should be in the 50's if it don't chine walk. I ripped out the stock drive tube as they has problems locking up from the factory. I went to my hobby shop the other day and they had one just like it apart on the counter. Evidently there's a problem with them, every one they have sold seized the flex shaft in the first or second run. Well rather going though that again, I modified it and put a real flex shaft in it..3/16. It made it through a thrashing in my kids hands today and some "speed" runs lol.

                      Here's how the seaking 120 fits..... perfect! I picked this seaking up from the ose store. It came with the same connectors my motor came with, so installation is nice and easy.

                        Yep I knew it's a RTR Hull BUT man it looks nice.

                        Love green on my boats since I bought my 2 tone green Popeye Hydro.

                        Pitty it needs work on the the drive line after a few runs but it will be worth it.

                          Yea I know.... it's not really an rtr because of that in my opinion.i got my replacement shaft from proboat pretty quickly but the fact that mine isn't an isolated problem kinda concerns me. O well, when I sell this one, someone is going to get a much better boat than from the factory that's for sure.

                              The castle is 2400kv. Stock motor is 2000kv. It would probably do fairly well with the stock motor. I may even try it if the castle I'd too much on 4s. I was afraid the boat would lean badly to one side with the 4s pack but as a matter of fact I threw it in the bath tub tonight to see how it works sit and it's just barely leaned it one side. It think it'll be ok. I also added alot more epoxy to it this evening.....where the platform is glued in, it's only glued in the front and rear. I did the sides also and added some to the front an rear. A guy I know has one and he said his detached in the first few runs. I want this to be a trouble free, but quick if i want it to be, boat that my kids can run. It's really for my 5 year old (he said I could have his blackjack 9 in trade for it lol) but it's a tad fast for him. I can throw a 2s pack in it tho and it's will be fun for him.
