King Of Shaves C1 Brushless!

[nate]

Anyone know any more info on this boat, Video's, links ect.

Looks very sweet, Im not a Cat fan but Id probably go buy this bad boy!

So does Venom have this thing setup for (2) 11.1v lipo's in Par.?

[Apples1]

it does look awersome, however i have had plenty of issues with some of Venoms other stuff, that s not to say this boat wont be brilliant, it just might kick arse. They have got a platform of plenty on other great RTR boats out there to "learn from" i look forward to the reviews

Anyone ordered one yet?

[Ub Hauled]

I saw the big version and it was well finished and sweet looking, if they transferred that quality to the 34" one it should be a keeper...

king of shaves brushless

my buddy runs a hobby store here in toronto and he said he has 2 on order which will be arriving next week.

another buddy of mine is buying one of the 2 coming in so i will see how it looks before i consider buying one.

i know if i do buy one the first thing ill be doing is tossing the cheap plastic props in the garbage and buying some octura props. should give it more top end for sure. venom claims mid 40s for top speed on 6s but i think you will get much more running some decent sharpened and balanced props.

These Venom KOS Electrics are for sale now on Ebay.

doby, ain t that the truth.... (not that they sell the KOS 34) but i d trust hobby city before i d deal with fdm...

The boat looks really interesting.. specially with the twin brushless, I can only imagine how it'll sound :)

I was downloading the PDF manual from the site. Did anyone notice that you use the transmitter to program the ESC ?, I'd like to find out if there is another way, otherwise you'd be stuck with the included radio...

Please, those guys running these post your vids!

No, the ESC is programmed just like any other using the transmitter - any transmitter. Tedious but workable. You can use any radio you want, but FM or 2.4 is prerferred on any serious FE model. Actually the included radio doesn't look too bad for an FM system.

I just looked at the manual again and you're totally right, you use the throttle to set the type of Lipo.
Interesting thing I noticed, it says the boat comes with a 4 channel receiver.. I'm fairly new to boats here so bear with me... does that mean that a 3 channel receiver would not work then? I'd be nice to upgrade this boat to 2.4Ghz

We seriously need some video of this boat, no one has one yet

[bigcam406]

makes you wonder why Venom hasnt released one yet,considering they've been pluggin the boat for months.......
