I decided to buy a Mystic to play around with , I was looking for something that was well designed (for RTR) and would need minimal modifications to make it fun and reliable , this would be the platform I use to learn a little about FE as well as for the family to have fun with .
I have been in the hobby for many years now primarily racing Nitro but enjoy all aspects of this hobby.
As a RTR boat they have come a long way from the days of MRP and this boat not only looks great but is cleanly laid out well built.
Positive
Solid hull , easy to work on decent quality at a reasonable price and great looking.
Room for Improvement
These are only my opinion and mainly were I see future problems.
Coupler is definitely a week link and will eventually let go , would like to see the brass tube through the hull be one size larger than the stuffing tube to allow for easy change of the stuffing tube (very minor , easy change) .
Not a fan of the lead bushings in the strut or Teflon tube so that will be changed and will go with the standard brass bushing.
The biggest problem is the Rudder. Not being able to kick up when you hit something (and you will) is unacceptable , this oversight will cause major damage to the hull and hardware and could have been fixed very easily. I know Darin had something else in mind but Proboat went with this set up ?
Like I said for a RTR it looks awesome and we can't wait to try it , will work the small bugs out of it and should be a lot of fun.
Thanks Darin for answering all my questions and putting up with me , also thanks to Steven (OSE) for answering my questions and getting my order out so quickly.
Will post more when we get it wet
