joysway x-blaze super version

[the badger]

hi guy's
newbie here i am looking for a fast boat. i am currenty flying my zagi on 3s lipos and i am after a fast rtr boat to run on 6s my zagi batts. (has to be fibreglass not abs)
so the traxxas spartan is out.

For that price, No way, thats seriously about a $100 hobbyking boat....

any other recomendations i live in the uk so it would be better if i could buy it over here..

Speak with Bill Oxidean whose on this forum about the X Blaze, I believe he is racing the X Blaze & has very good things to say about them. Ripmax in the UK now has the X Blaze in stock but its the lower spec one with a smaller motor & esc, I believe they will also have the super version very soon. Its not recomended to run 6s on the super as the motor kv is to high & esc to low amp. Martin.

hi martin thanks for the reply. but i have read that in the instructions you can run it on 4s and 6s and on some sites like http://tbmodel.en.made-in-china.com/...-Vee-Boat.html (an here) http://www.rc-hobbymodel.hk/_d271078399.htm can anyone confirm.
there is not much info because there not out over in the uk till the 25 of this month...

Ive seen different specs on the 700 super X Blaze, Some say 6s others ive seen said 4s. I think youll find their arnt many on this forum that would run or recomend using 6s on this size motor & on a 90amp esc.

[the badger]

is there any other rtr fibreglass 6s boats out there martin or is it traxxas only or is there one that can hit 50 mph range on 3s its just that i have many 3s for my zagi and didnt want to buy another load of lipo's.

Bill is NOT using the stock motor. He likes the hull but is running a different motor and probably esc. So if you could buy it without the motor and esc and use your own it might be OK.

Our Starship will hit 50mph on 3S.

I have the same boat and it is a joy to run, i have bashed it so much now i am really surprised that it has not fallen apart. Here is a video i made at a local pond in copenhagen, Denmark

I think it is the super version but i am not sure. As you can see from the video its FAST and even faster in a straight line so dare not try higher batteries.
Batteries i am using- 2 x 2S 7.4V lipo, 4000mah ,20 C
B4563 water cooling brushless motor
90A water cooling brushless ESCw/o BEC
CNC aluminum alloy rudder , trim tabs , knife and support

Actually in mine the batteries are on each side and not on the same side as shown in the links above . (maybe they improved on this )
