    Steve, you need a new forum! Proboat Stiletto



    One of the cool things about working for Horizon Hobby is that I get to play with new toys before anybody knows they exist.

    I got to drive one of these a few weeks ago.



    ROCK SOLID! and FAST! Those who know me know I'm not much of a tunnel guy, having only had a MRP Bud Light (bad experience). This boat just might change that for me. I have one of the prototypes at home now and I'm just waiting for spare parts to come in so I can finish it up. This boat is just TOO COOL!

    One of the other neat things is being able to have some fun with my buddies and our Team Horizon drivers... Darin, we have a surprise in the box for you when you get yours

                  Nice clean, neat boat. What size motor (540/380) does it have and what lipos will it run (3S?)?

                    It's an 1800KV version of the ProBoat BJ26 motor, with a 60A ESC... I suppose it would run on 3S, though I don't know why you'd want to... You'd be down to around 20,000RPM with 3S...

                        I see the bells so show us the whistles. I would certainly guess there is video out there. Always likes tunnels. I go past Tim Seebolds place everyday now. Known him and the family for many years....maybe there will be some budlight stickers that fit it :)

                            That is pretty cute! I can see the minds thinking already. Will the lower unit hold up to more power 8Xl I wonder? What size flex shaft is in the lower unit? 98/130? Maybe a 150!
