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

[bigcam406]

nice lake. just wondering how the hull performs in rougher waters. thanks.

It really depends on the voltage you are running and where you place the batteries. We ran it at a different lake when it was nearly white capped but had to move the batteries all the way forward to keep it planted, on 6s. Really too fast for the conditions. 5s seems more manageable for rough water and is still very fun.

This lake in the video is well protected from wind and never gets more than maybe 2-4" "waves" or ripples. It does well in those conditions which is what you would experience running with other boats, churning up the water.

thanks for the reply.i was just wondering because the body of water where im located is Lake Ontario,which doesnt get that calm too often during summer months.usually,when it is calm,there might be a 1-2" chop at the most.thats when its only an opportune time to run my boats.looks like the Voracity hull could handle that no problem.thanks again.

One of my comments to Rafael while testing the samples of this boat were that it's "Perfect for NORMAL water conditions"... In other words, the typical, slightly choppy or otherwise mildly rough conditions really seemed to suit it. Water doesn't have to be glass, not for normal FUN running anyhow.

[T.S.Davis]

Unless you're running SAWs water like glass is boring.

[Rafael_Lopez]

Totally agree with Darin and T.S. Davis

The reason we decided to use that video was because now days the first question a potential customer will ask is "how fast is it", lol.

As I mentioned up top, I like mine on 5s. 3s on the left and 2s on the right.

I haven't tested using 5S, but based on what I know of this package, I'm guessing that I could find 50+ on 5S with a little prop selection and tweaking. Maybe faster.

[Rafael_Lopez]

Agreed. Dropping down in voltage frees up amperage, which allows for a wider prop selection.

I'm trying to decide between a voracity 36 and an impulse 31 V3. Can someone explain the pros/cons of each?

[skeeler]

Can those of you who have experience with 36-inch mono-hulls suggest a good prop for running this boat on 6S LiPo or 6S LiFeO4 (19.8 V nominal)?

[skeeler]

Rafael or Darin, do you have a photo of the Voracity with an Impulse 31 or BJ/Geico 29 to show the size difference?

From my personal opinion:
The Impulse is a bit more maneuverable because it's smaller. Think Lotus Elise VS Lambo
The Voracity is faster out of the box.
The Voracity will handle rougher water better than the Impulse because f their size difference. This factors in when ruining in large bodies of water.
Power to weight, the Impulse 31 has more room to prop up on 6s.
The motor in the Voracity is a lower KV so on lower voltage you could prop it higher and possibly be at the same speed you would be on 6S without the need for HV.
The Impulse is easier to throw in your trunk, if your can has a trunk, lol.
One is black and one is blue.

The boat comes with the equivalent to an X645. In my personal opinion, you may have better luck with a slightly smaller prop that has been performance tuned. You'd be amazed what some people can do with a really well tuned prop.

I'll snap one here shortly and post it.

If you could get a couple shots from different angles that would be awesome. Interested in the size next to the MG if one is on hand.

[skeeler]

Rafael, thank you for your quick response.
