Hello guys . On my maiden i had 3 good runs , the next day i go to plug her in to retrieve the data log and POOF up in smoke that crappy Hydra Ice 200 Hv .....just like that . Castle you suck! sorry but no warranty on a brand new item . out now $470 thats what hurts . My bud Brandon Duncan ......can't say enough , he shipped me from Keith Bradley boats a Swordfish 200 Hv . I ran it twice with no Video . I do say it seemed to perform much better , i just need to get use too the throttle response. Ive done a few float tests to see where the waters coming in , i've sealed up some areas in concern . I'm on the pond tomorrow morning for some testing .IMGA0075.jpg

You really have to watch the Castles or any ESC for that matter. I did that with my Fantasm. Ran it in the morn, flipped it, thought it was fine that evening for a run but NO. That was my Flier big ESC. I am trying hard to not touch them for a week(time to dry thoroughly) before firing them again. Even with my waterproofing it still bites me now and again.

I have a big bag of rice in the basement of the cottage that does wonders sucking water out of damp ESCs.

What prop are you running?

It has a x465 on it , the swordfish only gave me one run and sent back to CHINA.I have revamped it now and only running 8s . This still has tons of power and very pleased .

It looks great, love the way it picks the nose up high under acceleration! Looks like a lot of fun to run!
