[electric]

Decided I have to have one of these. Just placed my order... Nothing like it on the market RTR..

[electric]

I think you will be happier with the proboat. The outboard on the e-bay special looks to have a plastic drive.

[electric]

Maybe so. I am sticking with my order. The ebay boat has a hotter motor 2040 KV and a smaller ESC 40amp not exactly a good idea. The layout is different as well, not to mention the plastic prop on the ebay boat. With that much different, who knows what they did to the hull.

Proboat is a pretty good company for the most part. I have a few of their boats and have always been pretty happy with the quality. Not Excellent, but pretty good!

You need to take a MUCH closer look at that E-Bay boat... it's NOTHING like the ProBoat...
Please trust me... That E-Bay boat will NOT make you happy... It's TOO narrow, the ride-pads are all wrong, the sides of the sponsons are way too thick... It's more of a toy.

You will NOT be disappointed with the ProBoat... It's a nice piece

I'm thinking that this boat, when you see it in person, may up your quality opinion a bit. That's the goal.

Thats what I like to hear!

[electric]

Darin, that is good to hear about the quality. I am looking forward to getting the boat and as you could see by my prevous thread, I pretty much came to the same conclusion about the copy. Should be fun to have a scale looking boat that is also fast!
