Box stock mono for p limited?

[Jesse J]

Are all the proboat and aquacraft monos <34” really discontinued?

I’m working on a list of rtr boats our local hobby shop can stock so new recruits can get into racing as simply as possible. These will be 34” max, and 4S.. many that are 36” and 6s... but they can’t race in p class.

Monos: AQ revolt (appears to be back)

Cats: veles, miss geico, motley crew

Hydros: proboat UL-19, aquacraft UL1 (discontinued?)

Any ideas?

Next I’d like to make a list of rtr that would work but would need motor swap and possibly esc.

Feel free to chime and thanks!

All the monos 34” from proboat and aquacraft have been discontinued.
The 34” have been replaced by 36” hull.

Ahhh - length limits! They’re working.

OSE Raider is 34" Looks pretty sweet.

[Jesse J]

I agree, there are sweet hulls out there! I just ran my raider and it made me giggle like a child... but.. I’m talking first boat fodder. I’m working on some after market options, but want to be able to tell LHS to sell these boats because new boaters can take them to race the next day and have a chance!

Thanks for posting, keep the ideas coming!

The proboat sonic would be good. But it selfrighting. P mono & cat are getting faster and pushing the limits of 34”
This would be really good option..
Dymotorshop 33 mono, comes with hardware installed, can be setup for p Ltd or P mono, smooth running boat even race waters. All they have to get electronics and install them, tune.

The thread topic is RTR boats, not boats an experienced racers can build from scratch. AQ and ProBoat no longer offer serious P-Limited-legal monos. Why? Length limits, so we’re pretty much restricted to Chinese-designed offerings.

Right, my bad

So what’s a club to do?

Allow 36” hulls? Then we are heading towards q class... another 50% more cash and twice the hurdle for a newbie.

There are a lot of options in the 24” range... but that is kinda underwhelming - albeit potentially tons of fun, but not raced across a district and would require a retooling for existing club members.

Darin, what hot new p limited mono is proboat about to release?
Is aquacraft about to go under?
Pro marine is an option, but the models are a bit higher priced.

My club is even considering building up boats to sell to new members, in a drive to own program.
I like Eric’s suggestion of DYmotorshop hull and hardware option, but how is the build quality? Proboat was getting better as was aquacraft. I have seen a lot of inconsistencies and marginal quality parts on the Chinese builds, often requiring a start over...

Too pursuit can be a way better option.. and more affordable and is under 34” and have been race tested for a long time now

[eric113]

The DY quality is good. Run great even in race water.

Ray, suggestion is another good one. You can get pursuit from banggood for $300ish

[Jesse J]

So Eric, is banggood really bang good?

Hull&hardware may be the future..

‘Nother idea is let em bring 36” rtr but offer to swap out motor for 4S.. yay, nay??

Have an entry level RtR "one design" class with these to help noobies get interested without breaking the bank. First have a class one night teaching basic race prep to get these ready as likely would be the case.

Tony, im having trouble seeing what you are talking about.. link takes me to general alibaba site.
Very interested in your input.
