New Proboat Impulse 31" Deep Vee

[Brushless55]

very cool, I dig it!
what kind of speeds could one expect on 4s using a different prop other than stock?

[jac4412]

Looks really sweet.. can't wait to get my hands on that..

I was planning on building a boat but with proboat coming out with these 3 solid models I don't think I'll have the money!

This will be my first FE rtr in years. Looks like a big win! Great job Darin! Thank you for your help in bringing great FE performance to the masses!

One question.. 31" to the transom, or the transom overhang?

[RIPFENCE]

wow great job!!! this will be my first rtr no doubt..its sick looking!! the rear of the boat actually looks like a swim platform on a real boat..the styling is great

[ron1950]

so just what is a hotter power system? how close would the stocker version do in p mono?

I'm guessing a Losi Xcelorin 2400kv

One question.. 31" to the transom, or the transom overhang?

It measures about 29.5" down the keel... 31" to the overhang.

The hull has a unique spray rail design that should help keep it from submarining most of the time, as well...

Initial speeds are typical of the power system... ProBoat took all their boats out and did some radar testing, using bone stock, out of the box boats with stock, un-prepped ProBoat props and here are the notes they sent me for this boat:

Impulse 31
Stock – 32mph on 4S-45C
Stock – 47mph on 6S-25C
Stock – 47mph on 6S-50C
1.9” Prop – 48mph on 6S-25C (Yes, we know you told us not to try this prop with this setup, and as you warned, we fried the ESC on this setup)

So, I'd expect about 40 or so with the right prop on 4S and obviously much faster with more cells. And WAY faster with more motor!

BY BY Super V!

[ron1950]

good to hear real speeds and not how fast it looks.....what motor did u use in your p mono race?

[arp1500]

so can we run 6s and be safe?
or is this a 4s boat just like the mg and mystic

[siberianhusky]

Anybody want to buy my SV? (Kidding) Was going to gut it to build a DF29. Might just sell it next winter and try one of these. Looks like another sure winner with a solid well tested power system!
This is a new one for me, I even really like the graphics on it! Easy enough to dress up with some touches of your own without a complete re-paint.
Being a happy Spektrum user I would love a BnD version don't really need to add to the collection of radios I don't use, although another Spektrum would be a nice back-up! Just changed my mind!
Cheers

Did anyone else notice the Properchopper style battery holder!!

It's exactly the same power system, so in my mind, the jury is still out on whether or not 6S is "safe". That being said, people do it all the time.

More testing needs to be done at ProBoat before I believe they are going to be comfortable actually officially stating that, however.
