or the Atomik Whiplash(maybe). which one of these would you guys say is the best as in speed and durability,or what would you guys recommend in the same price range that's completely RTR like with battery and charger. or tell me what with what will be the best. sorry for bad wording.
Thanks,
Brendon

Hi,
I think you can do better for the chargers, And cheaper to.
Also the same for the lipo's.
Where will you be running this boat and what kind of water's, glass,Light chop,Or very choppy ?
Also when they give you stuff with the RTR it is the cheapest stuff they can put in the package,
And will not work very good for the setup in the boat.
I am just trying to give you a heads up and save you some money to.

ill be running this boat on my lake outback. and because of the cove i live on, it doesn't get as choppy as the rest of the lake but it can get pretty choppy. it all depends when i wish to run my boat. but no hydroplanes because of the chop most of time. here is a pic from my backyard

and as you say about better chargers and lipos. show me too them...with free or really cheap shipping

Beautiful place you got!

[mass boating]

thanks man, all it needs is an rc boat in the water. Am i right?

[Heaving Earth]

Go to hobbypartZ. Affordable sky lipos and chargers there, and sometimes free shipping on $50 or more

[mass boating]

ya im looking there right now i do like this place

[lenny]

Looks like a very nice place to run,
And my thinking is that you will be a boat Addict in no time flat.
Especially with a lake like that at your door step.
So what is your budget for a boat, Charger, and lipo's ?
And do you have any other rc stuff ?

[mass boating]

i have a short course truck, the hpi mini trophy truck. but about $300 maybe $350 if i really like. im getting this money with the sale of my Xbox and other stuff from a yardsale i still have left over. so it might take me some time to get the money too

[lenny]

What kind of boat hulls do you like, Deep v, Cat , Hydro, ?
That is a good start,
Take your time and read and learn before you buy anything.
I am still looking for my first buggy and looking at a 1/5 scale for some good fun,
But not have to spend a arm and a leg to buy it.

[mass boating]

but what do you guys think of the wildcat EP. i really like it but i wanna know how fast it is im looking for 30 mph+. can the minimono reach that? how about with an upgraded prop?

[Heaving Earth]

I don't think any of these boats will go over 30 without lots of mods. Not sure tho, maybe someone else knows for sure

[mass boating]

ive seen the wildcat clock in(on youtube so not sure if true) at 25 witch is closes enough for me and i prefer brushless because i dont wanna upgrade the motor for a while

[Heaving Earth]

Go for the mini mono. They're cool enough
