got scared of the pb mystic esc problems...

[gonrcng]

I happen to be one of the few that had a stock 60amp esc burn up. I will say as I said in the thread on it that Horizon did end up replacing it. I bought two boats the same day. The Mystic 29 for myself and a Miss Geico for my son. There has not been one issue with the stock esc on the MG and its being run to death by a 12 year old. After all is said and done I don't regret going with the Proboats and wouldn't steer anyone away from them.

I personally like my 45 speed control, my 60 had blown up, put the 45 in never looked boad, pretty ugly esc but it works.

darin i never had a problem with my 60amper....sold it but never had a problem, but, ive heard alot of horror stories about horrizon saying tough luck...u put it in the water ...now its your problem type stories.....even the local hobby shop says customer service is sure not what it used to be over there at horizon,,,,

When I got my blackjack and shockwave 26 bl service was great. WHen I got my impulse I had a few problems, hull, esc, etc, pretty much told me basiclly it was covered till it hit the water, said by more then one person.

If someone wants a RTR item(boat, car, truck or plane) that will not have a problem, they need to change hobbies. Every RTR has the possibility of having an issue. And if you are going to get frustrated or not going to have the funds to fix it when it does, maybe the hobby isnt for you. This may seem harsh but its the truth.

Way to sum it up Steve- I totally Agree- My Mystic has been bullet proof, iif I could just get the bounce out!! Better than out the box but still needs some tweeking

Move the batteries forward.

with all due respect, i have found that an rtr boat is more likely to give trouble than, say, a revo or slash or hpi sprint or rs4 nitro, etc.... just something about boats. i know ymmv. but i have learned to accept this, and if someone does not, boats probably aren't for them. i do take into account my admittedly limited aptitude toward these machines, both mentally and through lack of life experience. i'm good at other stuff that doesn't involve tools, btw. but this is a challenge.

i see this is an old thread i apologize.

Hi Darin
I have a mystic and first esc packed it in,but dealer replaced it. The boat has weird noises when you run it. I went to lube propshaft and had a hard time removing it. Finally got it out and the flex shaft was unravelling,this also damaged the nylon? shaft inside.I now need new flex shaft and insert. The motor no longer runs as well. This is the boats 3rd run,needless to say I am not impressed.

I have ran both the 60 and 45 amp escs and never any problem, always fire up and go and I did push them hard as hell, I am waiting for the new blackjack to come in, then I'm going to try the new stuff out of that into my mg also the hardware looks better and I believe its a straight swop so that also will find its way onto my mg.
