      Xtra10 has been a coupon code @ Horizon Hobby for the 10 percent off for a long time now... I believe it still works as I used it for plane parts only a few weeks ago... been going for 8 or 9 months now...

          The Voracity looks awesome! I originally knocked the color scheme of the graphics (personal preference), but in person, even under the living room lights, it is going to look real sharp on the water!

                Great to see the videos starting to roll in. Man, I envy where you live. Sweet back yard!

                I like to run mine with the batteries pushed all the way towards the back of the tray, right before the left battery touches the cooling loop on the ESC, but this may be to loose form some drivers. This allows the boat to ride closer to its CG. If the boat gets a bit bouncy with the batteries towards the rear, adjust the trim tabs down about 1/2mm at a time, untill you get the bounce out. This should let the boat run a bit dryer, lower temps a bit(less friction), and get the speed up some.



                BTW, the motor and ESC have 12g wire. Someone asked a few posts back.

                  Nice Video. Fast OTB. Great job Pro Boat. Can't wait to see were this goes. Sounds like there needs to be a Voracity section in the Pro boat RTR section now

                      I had a chance to run a few packs through the Voracity before dark. This is box-stock except I changed the battery connectors to 5.5mm bullets so I could use my batteries. Love the boat!

                        Cool to start seeing videos of the Voracity.
                        Is it safer to run it on 5s ? Or stock version can really handle 6s ?

                          No one except the ProBoat team has done any long term testing for reliability at this point. I personally believe that the ProBoat guys have done enough testing to prove that the Voracity will be reliable on 6S. My video was all shot on 6S with the stock ESC. I didn't pound on it continuously but the motor, esc, and batteries were not overly hot to the touch. I've only driven mine last night but so far I feel like the Voracity hull handles 6S power way better than my Impulse 31. I'm hoping to run it some more today!

                              Wow, another great video!

                              We only tested on 6s. I'm very confident the system can handle it continuously, stock, but I know my comments can seem biased. After all, this is my baby.

                              I know some people will want to change the ESC for a HW180 or a higher rates ESC for peace of mind, but if you can, give the stock ESC some time. You'll see it can handle 6s and your money, if you don't already have a 180 sitting around, can be better spent elsewhere.
