Hi the mini thunder is pretty cool... It will flip on it's top if you turn to the right hard and fast.. Also one thing i do not like is it hardly turns left you must go slow as a slug and also when you turn it sometimes gets air under it and cavitated like crazy!! You can probably avoid this but with the esc that comes with it when you try turning it feels crappy like you can go very slow or snap fast no inbetween speeds that's why it cavitates all the time..
But it flys i have everything stock but i poped in a electrifly T-400 motor that they say to use for a hop up.
ENJOY!

Hi i ran the stock battery and my traxxas mini e-revo batteries i never ran it with the stock motor but i did check rps and they where about the same but the T-400 motor had much more stronger magnets...I guess that's what helps turn the prop . It was much faster than my big boats with 550 and 600 motors!

hydros are only suppose to turn right you know- so it can hook w/ the turnfin. are you sure you didnt turn left to flip it
