Ill get a Traxxas what ever they re gonna call it the day I show any interest in NASCAR.I cant see either one happening.

F1 is still my favourite motor racing sport apart from rallying....Jimmy Clark was the best driver of his era and a true gent....Aryton Senna was probably the best of all time. They both died in racing crashes.

F1 is my favorite!
I worked at the Inaugural Grand Pix of Denver years ago, and that was a flippin blast! (not F1)
I had access to the whole event at anytime and worked one of the score boards along Denvers streets
and I got to meet Danny Sullivan right before the race

my wife and her friend Deena worked at the Grand Prix to!

I love motor racing but the glory days were the 50's and 60's. I was a wee boy taken to an old airfield converted to a race track in Scotland...Charterhall....I saw Jim Clark race there...my hero, I was hooked. Today we get a bunch of guys on the telly who can not shut up and the racing is crap.

Technology has came so far since then... you cant even compare the two. Today's average daily driver handles better than those cars ever did. Sometimes it can be more entertaining to watch someone try to drive an ill handling car, but to me, the glory days are now. It is amazing how far we have came in auto racing. Still NASCAR seems to hang on to old technology longer than any of the other motorsports.

Pretty cool. Wonder if they were run with the stock nimh packs.

They didnt look like anywhere near 50 mph boats in the vid...awfully rough water for anything that fast. They must have been on nimh or maybe 4s lipo?

I like the one bobbing nose up full of water. Body clips, and drip rails FTW! lol

That's what it looks like to me. My guess is stock packs since they don't sell a lipo.

That is what I was worried about!

Old technology?

Anyone who bought one get a shipping notification? They are supposed to be shipping today.

[Brushless55]

not sure if they actually shipped today?
maybe to vendors?

I saw them testing and filming 3 boats right out of the boxes yesterday. They said they would be at Tower Hobbies around Christmas.

shipping was to be today the 16th not yesterday the 15th
doubt any real customer got one

[anilao]

It looks like the boat will be shipped out after Christmas.
