Proboat Recoil 17

[fwlbp]

Anyone see this yet? Was surfing proboat's site checking out the new SW26 and saw this. To me it appears to be a Atomik Barbwire clone with some upgrades. Looks like it has a better ESC and receiver, assuming it is spektrum. The motor looks the same. Pictures show a 3 blade prop, maybe they are able to prop up with the better ESC? Also wondering if it has a better charger too. Interested to see how it performs against the barbwire.

I got a chance to test run one of these last November down in LA at Legg after the LA SAW event.

Fun little boat. Would be fun to put together a "pool racer" series where you run in retention ponds or secure an indoor pool or ??

Definitely doesn't look like spectrum

I own one now since one of my Barbwires T Boned my friends brand new boat ! I bought him a brand new one, and was able to get a hall ( Which is not on the market as of yet )
Its nice.I changed out the steering servo for a traxxas.
My Barbwires are still Faster and Turn Smoother !
