    Wow, what a difference batteries can make. Got to run the MaxAmps 2S 8Ks today. First time I snapped the trigger the boat lept out of the water and barrel roled all the way over. Got lucky that it landed right side up. I had to have gained at least 5mph on the top end. Runtime went from 4 1/2 minutes to 15. The 4400 nimh packs will not be in my hull again. As long as I took it out of the hole easy and lifted a little before the tighter turns I didn't have any problems. A few spectators thought the ZigZags my kids were running wer pretty cool. When I turned the BlackJack loose people started asking where they could get one and how much. This boat draws a crowd quick.

        Got me one with an Octura X642 prop installed, running mine on Lipo batt. Everything else is stock.

          I got one the first time I ran it the water wasn't exactly calm so I ended up doing a complete barrel roll and I stuck the landing

            Sticking the barrel roll is a cool trick. I did it the first time I snapped the throttle on LiPo. I haven't tried it since though...still a little cool for swimming here

              I've been running one for 4 weeks now. Little to no mods (push/pull switch, relocate ant, etc.). My venue is a little tight to make the turns without letting off a lot. Oh well!

              Fairly new here, but been reading for 6-8 weeks.

              As a side note, had issues with the receiver out of the box and switched to JR system. Works great now, no issues with pairs of Intellect 3800 & Venom 5000 NIMH borrowed from other 'toys'. Venoms are new, bought off a friend for a song.

              Runtimes seem short still, 4-5 mins. What amps are the NIMH guys charging at? I use a MRC 977 Superbrain that can handle some specific amps if someone has some insight. I'm sure its here somewhere, but haven't come across yet.

                I've had one for a month or so. Octura x642 sharpend and balanced and lipo's(2 Zippy 4300 7.4 packs). Stock hardware. It's my first FE and I love it.

                    I bought a nitro hull being converted to brushless from Obrien, does that count?
