Sunday is my big day for the first run. I have it set up for 6s. I did order a 55mm prop which will arrive next week. Fingers crossed.

5698 910kv on 8s with a x452. Im looking at the x455/3 next.

Looks good from what I can see of it,
You should try standing in the middle of the ponds walkway for better running and video's
This way it would be easier to see how it is running and riding.

But really I just think that boat need a lot more leg room.

Looks like this coming Sunday will be video day. Last Sunday the ESC decided to retire. I will start with the stock prop and then try the X455/3 that I just received. I did balance and sharpen it.
I did hit 38.1mph before the ESC went bad. I was running on two 3S 5800 Turnigy packs in series.
For those three minutes I was impressed with the speed and handling. So were the other forum members watching.

is the newest version of this boat a 180Amp esc? Some sites are advertising 120Amp, and some the 180amp. It would really suck if i ordered from a site that says 180amp and i get a 120Amp.

Wow that video is pretty impressive. Nice work

The most recent released boats have 180amp ESC. The older version have the 120A. It is a transition from one size to another. I would suggest that you get the 180A.

Did they warranty the esc and up grade you to the 180a esc ?
Some added caps may help the 120a esc with the amp draw,


WhatRLaws4,
In the video is the boat running wet ?
It is very hard to tell from the angels of it running in the video.

They did warranty it. I showed proof of when I bought it, which was only a couple of weeks ago.

Overpriced much? Holy crap! For $900, i'd rather buy the Central RC 73" mystic and a set of drives.

True, but for some building one isn't going to happen.

Yes...

uh not sure if you looked at that add, its only hull and hatch... no hardware mounted or included so building is needed

$899 is more then Tower. I have the Atomik and I am very happy with it. With no fine tuning I went 38mph stock out of the box. I am the person that would rather buy a turn key (RTR) then build it at this time. I do not work for the company, but I think and also the people that are on this forum have seen it at the lake agree with me when I say the quality of workmanship is very good. I know there will always be the haters, but nothing will ever satisfy them unless it is for free. I also wonder if they have seen it or had the opportunity to operate one. Not starting a war here, but for a RTR it is top shelf. I am fine tuning it so I can hand it over to my 8 year old son.
I understand that you can build a similar boat for less. I have done my homework on building a boat, but thought I should buy a RTR to get started with and see how and why so I can build mine. No regrets here.
Tower has the RTR for $909 (minus $90 coupon) with free shipping.
