Looks like I will be building another hatch for a hydroplane. I like that the motor is a 6 pole 2200kv inrunner. Hope they release pics of the business end of the boat....

I am thinking that the hatch could use some exhaust pipes and an adjustable wing on the rear deck. That would give it a more scale look as you could remove the stock stickers and go with some custom ones.

I'm thinking a more detailed driver would go a long way towards a more realistic look - JMO

wouldn't be hard to mod the cowl and add another driver. Here is mu reccomendation

I would like to see aq web page changed. For one I can't watch their vids on my iPhone. How hard is it to post a YouTube vid link for cripes sake?
Also the layout could use some work.
The boat looks cool, glue the top half of a lego person on there...Hulk would look pretty cool driving that sucker101289
