    UL-1, fast out of the box, just upgrade the prop, no esc programing needed runs on 2s x2 lipos, great boat and fun to drive.

      This year I have bought a SV 27, Micro Hydro, and a Mini Echo and favor the Echo far and above the other two boats!! It is a bit small for rough water but handles the ponds in my area with ease!

        this is what got me into this hobby and I still own two of them
        I consider them my bashers that run and run and run
        I have one I run a CF48 prop on and temps never go above 120* on the motor and 110* on the esc
        and on 5s, holly cow they move!

          The sv27 also got me into brushless boats. I had a rio ep as my first boat, didn't take to long to get bored with it so the sv27 was my next boat and first brushless, still have it today has been to hell and back has been run the most of all my boats and has prob brought me the most smiles. It's not stock now a days though. I like my Miss geico though. My favorite rtr by far...

            Are you running your Miss Geico stock & on 4s, If so what sort of speeds do you get & are their any issues with them & what does the hull run like compared with other cats. Martin.

                I was running stock for a while. Here's a thread with video or you can click the mg name in my signature for the link http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=17633. The video may answer some of your questions.

                I changed my setup to the PB 1800kv (Stiletto) motor on the stock esc with a grim 40x52/3. In the stock video you can see the bad bounce the boat gets, with prop changing and some strut adjustments it goes away without doing the rudder mod. Just takes time. I don't have a new video of the current setup though. I can run that hull WOT in the turns with no issues. It handles really nice. It's a HUGE upgrade for PB over the blackjack. This hull handles like a dream. For rtr it's awesome. It doesn't handle like my skunkworks hull, but nonetheless really good! 5s stock is CRAZY fun!!!!

                  The best boat for me right out of the box was the Sea Fire @ HK.
