It looks like my wife might get me another boat and I'm looking at the ul-1 or the pro boat elam, any comments on these two boats.
I kind of like the ul-1 and it's features, but I would like some feed back.
Thanks on any info you could give me
Can you run 6s in this boat if you change the esc

UL is a awesome boat, with a change of prop and stock power you can get into the 50s with a grim l40x57 prop and some strut adjusment. This boat SHOULD NOT be ran on 6s! Stick to 4s with this boat and you will be happy. My wife purchased me my ul1 for christmas last year. This boat has a awesome motor/esc and the tactic radio is awesome as well.

this boat is aesthetically beautiful! I 'have one that I just received and I have a question about the controller! I already changed by 5.5 mm connectors but I find that very thin wires only 14 awg! I 'm afraid that this to hot with my Lipos 5800mAh!

The wires will be fine, it doesn't matter that you 5800mah lipo's. UL power runs nice and cool.

I say this because I have had a bad experience with the 45 amp controller proboat and yet I was a in 4s with the proper adjustment

How about a proboat miss Geico.

Where you using the stock 3.5mm bullets or 5.5mm?

Wow most replies I had in such a short time, I believe this will be my next boat.
so you say 50 with the right prop, wow, I'm still having issues with my bj on 6s only hitting 45but the boat is alittle heavy at 4.44lbs.

Yup, just read all the information on that boat in the UL section. I think I had my strut a little over 1" in depth (I forget the exact measurement) with a L40x57 prop that chuck did for me and it was low 50s.

What prop you using on that BJ, on 6s you should be faster then that. Not sure how much a stock BJ weights. You may need to bump up to a bigger motor. Like a leopard 4074 1774 on that BJ for the weight. I ran 47 on 5s with a x642 in a MG. Check my vids...

Man do I LOVE MY MG!!!

my vote is ul-1. although it doesnt have the "scale" looks the elam has...it will kill it in performace. the stock motor esc is a great setup and can do 50+ with a prop change. its also very watertight unlike the elam which seems to sink rather quickly after turning over ( i should know i swam after my old one several times) .... the ul-1 can sit there all day while i lazily fish for it. comes with better radio system too, no antenna. also comes ready for lipo's, no programming card needed

+1. What a fun boat!

nodiesel I have used the deans of origin with 2s lipos 2x 4000mAh 40c turnigy and they literally melted and burned my cables and my controller on my Fastech! I always look for how this could happen! And since I actually use on my blackjack 26 and my Fastech the controller 180A turnigy with 5,5mm connector! And that is why I am wondering if the controller 60A aquacraft was strong enough compared to the cables that he has!

You sovled your problem. The gauge wire is not the issue with that boat, it's the deans plugs and also the 3.5mm motor/esc connectors. When you guys get your boats you should change those deans plugs over asap, those plugs will cause you problems, they can't handle the amp load and melt!!!

I'm also talking about the 3 connectors that connect the motor to the esc. Did you change those? The stock 3.5mm bullets can't handle the heat and de-solder causing issues. When I get a new RTR boat, before it hits the water I get rid of those deans plugs ASAP and i change the 3 motor / esc connectors all over to 5.5mm bullets. The stock ul wires handle the heat with no issue! It's the cheap 3.5mm bullets which led to problems and the deans connectors SUCK, I would not use those! Also what prop where you using?

[xxxrems38xxx]

I think you're absolutely right because the connectors were the original on the engine of Fastech and I have had to change because they had also melted! apart from the deans of origins of the ul-1 as I will change by precaution by 5.5 mm connectors, do you think I'm changing the engine? (even if you tell me that everything is ok in regards to this boat)
