***NEW**** Pro Boat Voracity 36" Mono!!

[Rafael_Lopez]

Doby, trim scheme is decals, no clear. You don't like them and have young kid, like my 7 year old, they're happy to peel them off if you ask. Sometimes, if you don't ask, lo!

Any provision for a "break away" rudder?

[Darin Jordan]

Wet well schmet well. None of my mono have a wet well. Don't over think it guys.

This appears to be an honest to goodness 6s RTR. I see zero down side to this. Can't wait for them to start showing up at the local puddles. Maybe we'll see a surge of 6s racers. How cool would that be?

Exactly, Terry. On pretty much EVERY mono I have, once I set the strut where it's supposed to be, I NEVER touch it again. Everything else is done with tabs, rudder angle, and battery placement.

It's a nice feature if you plan on changing prop diameters a lot, but to actually make the boat perform, it's not necessary if the strut is in the right place to begin with.

I ran my test sample with props ranging from stock to X450/3 on 6S (don't try this at home... contacts got a LITTLE )... and I never once thought to myself "gee... I sure wish I had a wet-well stuffing tube.

Focus on what IS there! Racing aside, THIS is the size of "recreational RC Mono" that is about ideal. Still fits in the car, but is much more forgiving of water conditions.

Also, We tested this extensively on 4S as well. Definitely slower, but you can run and run and run and run and the boat probably is running around 40-42mph, is stable, and returns to shore!

I have no idea man. I've built most of my boats with the stinger drives and they have worked just fine.
I did one df 26 with a wet well and strut, and really didn't find the need for all that adjustment up and down. I've only found a smal adjustment in the angle has been all I've ever needed.

You know that you could chop off part of the tube and slide a nice stinger on over it, right? Just an idea

[T.S.Davis]

The more I look at the more pleased I am. It's actually 6s sized. Not 29" with maniacs throwing in 6s. Huge grin. Thank you. Simple hardware. Nothing too bling to drive the cost out of reach. You can bash on your local pond or with the right prop it's a race boat.

Also has a Fynch Wildthing quality to it. If that was the inspiration nice job. Love my Wildthings.

I'd run one.

Sure, no reason you couldn't do that if you wanted to.
I'm not saying anything against the strut setup proboat has done. It's just fine. Personally I wouldn't touch it.

The strut with no wet well is no more adjustable than having a stinger. Which is find imo
I think when people see a strut on a mono, they automatically assume it's there for up and down adjustment. Was just sharing my thoughts on it is all

Boat hasn't even hit the shelves yet and people are wanting to lop off struts, etc... You guys crack me up!

[T.S.Davis]

haha Maybe this could be the Q offshore I mentioned in the Michigan Cup thread that my son wants. Too many boats already at my house.

Haha no man. I got out of boats recently, so I'm just here talking.
Although I still have two 6s packs and an icharger nobody has bought, And I seperated my shoulder on my mountain bike recently so I can't ride for a while, who knows, maybe I'll pick one up -)

Agreed. It's fine the way it is. Was just an idea if you wanted to have some adjustment with a turnbuckle. Would be snazzy. A strut with a wet well is only needed if your trying to squeeze every last mph out of it. So I think this way it's set up will do for the masses.

[Luck as a Constant]

Def seems like proboat has listened and made a boat that is everything the Spartan could have been but wasn't.

Makes me curious what Aquacraft has been up to. They've been quite for a while now

There is almost nothing you can do with strut adjustment that can't be done with selecting and tweaking on the correct prop. Just sayin'...

I'm not saying I would chop it and put a stinger on it. I was making a point because something was said about not being able to adjust it. The point was, most people run a stinger that allows no up and down movement....which is the same as this...just looks different.

[T.S.Davis]

I would love to know why guys are sliding their struts a 1/2" with these giant wet wells. Know what your doing and mount it once. Just say'n.

When are these supposed to hit stores Darin?

When are these supposed to hit stores Darin?

I was told they were 5-7 days from being "on the boat" and about 5-weeks from being "in-stock". Looking like Mid-August.

Pro Boat has updated their business model a bit and are waiting to announce these things until they are SURE that production units have been tested and are ready to ship... Hopefully that means no more announcement in June that don't get delivered until Christmas. :)
