        Looks like Doc was driving and missed the duck but hit the wall.



        Before the crash it was running nice a smooth.



        Then it just went fkat out in to a wall.

            I've read that the UL-1 hills are really fragile, but I doubt anything would have survived that. So what are you going to do with all the hardware and electronics...or what's left of it?

              Once these hulls go over 50mph you take a chance of them lifting off and the impact with the water will disintegrate the hull. I know mine did the same thing a little over a month ago. These hulls are designed for speeds under 50mph.

                we got the hull dialed in so it won flip, the run before i flipped it and the hatch unstuck on one side and let water in and i think the receiver got wet even know its in a balloon... and then i put the boat back in the water for another run and on the first straight i lost control

                  Did it run into something? Or just turned and caught an angle then all hell broke loose?!?

                    I've always found ul1 hulls to be a bit on the thin side

                              Why not just water proof the one you have with water proof spray or just buy some better balloons ?
                              That is what I use for all of my boat receivers,
                              And if one gets wet in the balloon just stop running and let it dry good.

                              Than you can put that money you saved with the water proof spray or better balloons toward a better boat.
