    Looking to help a boater pick out a boat

    I was with someone boating today, he has a traxxas blast with the vxl brushless and a 3 s lipo, boat is totally uncontrolable. He is looking to upgrade that stuff to something else, he does not want to get more battereis or electronics. I told him to go with the impulse 26 and switch the stuff out. This person bassiclly want to beable just to go and play not really build anything.

    impulse 26 is an awesome rtr boat for $169. Never breaks down and can run for half an hour on a 2s 5000 mah lipo. Turns on a dime. Not as fast as my impulse 31, but it is super reliable. ( always breaking stuff on my impulse 31 )

      the person will also be interested in rtr boats that run on one 3s lipo, and does not cost a ton.

        What size 3s pack? One of the funniest boats I own is the Minicat Velocity mono. Runs off a 3s 2200ah 20c pack and it's a blast to drive and self rights.

            I own one of those. SMOKED the stock outrunner on 3s. Also runs a little wet. But pretty quick and stable and fun for a cheap chinese boat.
