    and racing is not about winning its about having fun with your friends!
    I never said you were gonna race this particular boat.

    I do agree that they should have built a boat that is a class legal boat in the more popular 4s classes. Like the UL1 its a great sport boat and also very capable race boat.

        Should be that way all day long at the lake!
        if people are idiots right after the start, they should find something else to do and get a life
        big reason why some choose not to race, is because of the idots who take it to serious and ruin it for everyone

          their market is for a lot of people and not taylored to just the race crowed..
          It would be cool thought if it did fit in a class we have already, but then again Traxxas created many race classes we have today with their trucks
          who knows, if a lot of people buy them and I know they will, clubs could easily start a new class for this hull
          cheap way to get into racing with this size of hull

            Sorry but I don't buy that I don't race to win. It's like playing sports and not keeping score.

              If you look at History you may see my point, AQ announced the UL-1 Built to NAMBA P- Class race specs, Then before it was released they put it in to Brian Buuas Hands, BTW he is a racer, He tested and pushed it, and allowed what he found that could be done with one to be known, It's now it one of the most sold and raced boats, IMO if you think sport runners are not watching and buying what is being raced you're making a mistake. And the Man who designed it is also a NAMBA racer.

                    And this hull could do very well!

                        yes it could but its a Q class boat in size there is not a single Q class mono in our club at all. and probably very few in other clubs to.

                          A 36 inch hull is a Q and up boat, They state 50 MPH on a 6s set up which is Q, power Sorry but 50 is not goin to cut it in Q,S&T classes. The Hull looks great and I agree, it looks like a nice boat. But to make this RTR hull raceable there are other hulls that could be just as nice for less money in the long run.

                            I am happy to see such a large company ditch its geared running system and deplorable steerable outdrive system. With the continual high winds experienced in Florida for the past 6 months, the size of this direct drive boat will make it a great club boat available at a reasonable price with parts and warranty guaranteed. The hull might not be state of the art but should handle a rough chop AND provide many hours of high quality entertainment. What else matters? Thanks for your time. BG

                              Glad to see all the "experts" condemming the performance of the boat already....they must have had advanced trial runs with it to make theses statements.

                              I race with some experts up here on occasion and quite often their boats are pushed to hard and end up on their backs....fastest does not always win the race....but I guess that thought never occured to anyone.

                              Oh well......

                                Wow, It'a friggin rtr. Not a purpose built race machine. Don't buy it if you dont like it. Trust me, Traxxas knows how to market their product, and the WILL sell a TON. Guess what, they'll stock replacement parts and give excellent customer service as well!
