Ok, for a $299 boat rtr out of the box, with just a 90% charged set of 4200 Proboat Ni-mh packs this boat really sits up and moves!
I did notice a little top heavy on turns more than I am used to so a lower tray or no tray would be 2x better IMHO.
Run time was pretty good, over 10 minutes of running and pulling it ashore to check here and there.
Flex shaft is obviously not lubricated from the factory enough to do anything, so I strongly suggest pulling it and using the marine grease first.
Water does come up through that shaft entrance, small amount of water in the hull, and thats the only entrance since i taped the top and the Antenna hole.
Tomorrow I will pull the shaft and coat it with the marine grease to see if that helps it out.
ALL IN ALL!
Love this boat for the price, I'm not even going to waste the cash on changing the remote and electronics. Only thing I would like to know is if anybody has tried that module to allow settings for Brake, throttle curve... etc and if it helps with just running Ni-mh?
