          Okay. They are testing a new 40" mono with a special low-weight 6S power system. They are calling the project the "Smartan".

                My guess would be a 30"-ish high performance mono to accompany the Miss Geico as a good handling, RTR boat.

                But that is purely speculation based on a hole I see in their current lineup.

                        so it's a white miss geico with an offset rudder, higher kv motor, and higher amp speedo. not really a new boat at all.

                          And a hatch that wont break apart if you flip it , this sort of sucks for all the MG owners , i feel like i was a guinea pig !!!

                          So is PROBOAT going to do something about the MG hatch problem ???? this is a sore point for me , as i have broken 3 hatches , its not the price of replacing it ! its the bloody 45 bucks to freight it to OZ

                              I make epoxy ones for it. They will last the life of the boat. then its no longer a problem. OR, after the first one broke, reinforcing any stock replacements is a must. I still run a stocker that I carbon reinforced and have put it thru the ringer and its good as the day it was new. So you have choices out there, but doing nothing and continuing to run them as is, is just a waste of money, especially if shipping is that much. If youd like, I can look into what it will cost to send you a 2lb box.? If your not wanting to fuss w/ the paint etc, I can sell you a stock hatch that I can reinforce.
