    Rumdog's Sniper 23!

    Just got her today.
    Gonna throw it in the water tomorrow (if it isn't all frozen).
    Bone stock first run out on 3s.
    It's really a 4s motor at 2200kv, but the esc is only rated at 3s.
    I have some hop up's on the way already. Don't laugh.... It's going to run a AMMO 2300, X-Power 100 amp esc, and 4s1p 25c 4000 mah Rhino's.
    It's a .125 flex, so it should hold up with the small props. If not, I have a .130 with .187 prop shaft, then I'd bore the strut. I have a x435 which is basically what the stocker is in plastic. Need to get a few props. In 4mm, the Venom aluminum 3 bladers may be perfect for this boat.
    I am VERY pleased with the quality of this hull/hardware. Has a lexan sub hatch, and the main hatch is pinned in front and magnetic in the rear.

    I may give the stock motor a try on 4s as well with the X-Power esc to see what she's got. It may be a little beast!

      HAHA. True. I miss the simplicity of single pack boats. Inexpensive, convenient, and a blast to run!
      After seeing vids of this little guy dialed in, I had to have one. My Delta Force 26 was on of the most fun boats to run that I have owned. Maybe THE most fun. No stress, and like you said... Let her rip!

          Cool boat Ryan! You are right about stress. My prince 25 is fun to drive and low stress for sure. Nothing like worrying about a blow over that will turn a good boat into a parts boat......

              OK. She ran pretty good first time out. Had to find a un frozen part of the lake. It's about 60% covered already! I'd say about 25 mph stock on 3s. Handling was awesome as expected.
              Got home, and did this:

                      BTW, stock esc is good to 7S, 45amps, its a Suppo like the 200amp one you have in there now.

                          WHAT?!?!?! Are you sure? This is great news if true.

                            Yes, I'm sure. I checked the FETs in mine and as I presumed it was a Suppo 45 amp and the Fets are rated to the Capacitor Voltage. Basically 7S.

                            I'll run my esc until it pops.
