    Yes, yes and yes, I mean no! Boats now get announced a week before they ship so we are 100% on schedule unless something happens with the shipping vessel.

      Glad I waited!

      Two days ago I just found out that Pro Boat released the Impulse 31 v3 and was totally impressed by the updates! I almost pulled the trigger, until someone mentioned there was more to come in that thread and that Pro Boat could neither confirm or deny if a boat in the 34-38" range was being announced. Well, in "Engineering Land", I know what that means...usually, 99.9% of the time, there is something to wait for!

      Well, again, I am late, however, only by less than 6 hours this time as I received an e-mail from Horizon Hobby this afternoon and had to pull the work vehicle over to check out the two boats that were listed! At the time, the Pro Boat site wasn't even updated, however, at this time it is and this is the prefect size for me personally.

      My only gripe, yup, we are a tough crowd,... apparently,...and would have loved to see a different color scheme, but nothing some custom graphics can't fix! I will say, the blue hull color is good though...

      Excellent job, this really fills the void in the size, component, material usage and overall package value compared to other offerings on the market as I have been doing research for over a year now!

          Excellent, so this could be stripped down to a simple blue hull...hmmmm.....

                Some Key features that usually don't make it to the web.

                2 pins for the canopy.


                5mm, abs plate to reinforce transom. No wood at all in this hull.


                Production boats will have a thumb screw instead of a spring loaded twist lock.

                  As of right now, no plans for a BND.

                  Drive cable is 4.7mm(.187). No need to upgrade.

                        Out testing at Legg lake today and met a gentlemen by the name of Jim Johnson. After chatting it up for 1/2 the day, I disclosed that I worked for HH and busted out the Voracity. I asked him to look at it and tell me his thoughts and I explained that the boat had just been announced today. He was very interested but a bit weary about what I was saying the boat could do. I asked if he wanted to get behind the wheel. His comment was I'm amazed how well this thing handles and how everyting works together so well. I cant believe this is an RTR boat."

                              We are just talking openly about the boat and its features.
                              That's what forums are for.
                              Nobody is crying about it except you crying about us discussing it.
                              Don't insult us Pedro.
