Aquacraft Motley Crew Cat

[louleslie]

The elephant is the lack of quality delivered by Corperations selling RTR RC Boats. Why are you opining on a stupid thread? Any money in the game?

[Doby]

Why are you opinioning on a product you know nothing about?

::Gurus predictions on the new CATfrom Aquacraft, due from Tower early April?

1. Top speed stock?___________________

2. Will it run smooth without any aberations unlike the M.G.

3. Will you have to replace the rudder and upgrade flex cable per M.G?

4. Will you have to replace everything in it to be fun like everything else
that comes down the pike with the possible exception of SV 27

Basic cost $350
Lipos 150
Upgrades 300
Total $800

Did you own a MG? I have one and its great.
I played with the offset rudder and all that and still think its just as good stock.
I dont expect perfection for the cost of a entry level race boat. NOTHING is ever without the chance of issues.

Oh and about the comment on the SV, (and I love my 2 SV27's), have you owed one of those? It takes some time and tuning to tame one. Thats why I enjoy the hobby.

Short and long of it is if you want a perfect boat there are guys out there that with build on for you for about $1k-2K.

Doby,
I was bored and wanted to piss off
some uptight person who always
parrots the company line. Over and
out.

This useless thread needs to be deleted.

[louleslie]

I agree

[Doby]

I agree

Just go away.

[Jeff Wohlt]

I was not even speaking of the new cat...i think it will do well. Just more general about some past rtrs and some issues they have had...Ul 1 being a main issue. I do own a MG with a 4074 2200 and i am pretty certain i wont be moving the rudder..it is not rocket science.

So chill, please...nobody is cutting your designs, hardwork or efforts. It helps grow the industry and as long as people do not have major issues then it is good for all.

Au revoir

Doby,

I'm coming after you and your dogs.

18-foot fully robotic patrol boat prototype. Note the diesel powerplant and numerous control devices and electronics.

[Doby]

Well at least he's now on a different topic........threats and diesel boats....

[PDR447]

almost hate to reply to this and bring it back "on topic" but I'm new to FE and I have a MG. I'm pretty much their target consumer for these boats. I can say I'm nothing but happy with my MG. for ~300 I'm running pretty close to a fully upgraded EKOS and Genesis that are also in my group of friends(they're definitely faster but they also have a lot more money into their boats). My MG out handles them in the corners though. MG and MC do just what they are intended, they give a great base to start from for a reasonable price and if you really want to go faster they take well to upgrades.

sounds like some of you guys are expecting stuff more like this for your RTR's: http://forums.offshoreelectrics.com/...ad.php?t=21765
He'll build you one if you really want it and I'm sure it will live up to all your RTR expectations(or maybe not???) but it will cost you a LOT more than MG or MC.

[Brushless55]

maybe this has to do with the flop of a mono traxxas came out with
but AQ and Proboat gots their stuff together!!!

[Grimracer]

sorry.. off topic..

Jeff W

Could you please let me know (you can pm me) what problems you had in particular with your UL-1..

Thanks

Grim

[Insaniac]

Let's put this speculative thread on hold until the MC is available and there is some real-world data available...JMHO

[Brushless55]

I think this Cat has one a race or two last year during development?
