Anybody have any experience with this boat TFL Hobby 1138 Caudwell F1.

Anyone ? I'm really surprised there's not more info out there on this boat. It seems to be a very cool boat. I've had a TFL Pursuit for several years and it has been a great boat. The outdrive on this boat looks to be a scaled down version of the real boat. I have one ordered I'll post when I get it running.

Well mine arrived today. So far I'm extremely impressed. The fiberglass and gel-coat is flawless. the outdrive is a work of art. Bearings throughout, very easy to service a very short drive cable. servo came installed along with 70 amp esc. If this thing runs as good as it looks its gonna be a fun boat. Thought I'd share

Unplug power from boat. Switch any 2 wires connecting motor to esc, done.

When I first saw this it was love at first sight. What a perfect boat for a one-design race class. One can dream.......:closedeyes:

[bayoucat]

Thank You! That was simple enough.

Also set up the ESC I found the instruction tucked in the bow of the boat not with the other paperwork

Heck as good as it looks I may just set it in my office as a display

Ran it yesterday with a 4200 35c. It ran great. Turns on a dime. Very easy to adjust tilt on outdrive. Definitely the best $200.00 I have spent on an RC boat.

Ran 3 times this afternoon. This thing is a blast. You really have to drive this one or it spins out. Turns like on rails. Turned steering travel down and took care of that. Loosen the 2 screws on each side on the top of the outdrive to adjust drive tilt. Running 11.1 4200 35c Lipos easy 5 min runs motor and esc temps 90s Lipo around 102
