    Ummmm... I see two posters out of nearly 10,000 OSE forum members... Not quite sure that qualifies as "the masses"...
    They must be really big people to qualify as the "masses"

        Get two of these, put the in a small space and the racing would be just as fun as the big ones.
        My buddies and I have more fun on mini bikes as we do on our big bikes. Same thing here.

          I've always thought it would be GREAT fun to have a "swimming pool" race series, if one could get their local pools to allow it... Or perhaps any number of the local drainage ponds/lakes that are built these days next to housing developments...

          I'm pretty sure that Steven (OSE) may have some inexpensive BL power options available to retrofit one of these with...

                Canopy is a scale version of the real Geico. There were many versions but, this is the one with the wing on top. you either like it or not I guess??

                Looks cool to me!

                  I'm pretty sure I'm going to like it a lot better with a cool little 380 or 400 sized brushless setup!! :)

                    Darin, can I trouble you to find out if the "hull only" comes with canopy? or Strudder?

                    I might get the hull and, canopy and work the rest out myself.

                    Might pre-order the hull.

                      Sign me up for one to go along with my Mini mystic. "Miss Longlite", the first mystic that added to the infamous Miss Geico lineup.
                      I just don't like the fixed strut but hey that can be changed with some time and effort.
                      Needless to say nice to see proboat step it up and offer a nice wide range and selection of boats. Keep em coming!
                      Now lets see a twin 45" Miss Geico!!

                        How about you turn it into a rescue craft for the Zonda?

                            Anyone running this little guy yet? I just got one and when I get paid again on the 31st I am ordering all the stuff to make it brushless and some lipos.

                              Will these boats handle a lipo?

                                NO, not according to the manual. http://www.horizonhobby.com/pdf/PRB0400_Manual_EN.pdf
                                Page 4. I don't think the ESC is capable of LVC for Lipo protection.
                                Too many boats, not enough time...
