I am considering buying one of these as my entry into rc electric boats, I REALLY like the large size, and I am liking what I am seeing and reading, EXCEPT for all the trashing of the boat here... I am not sure what I should do... I am not looking for some pro boat, and this one seems to be good for what I am looking for... Chris from Atomik, I would like to talk to you about this boat and what I need to know in making a purchase if I decide...How do you LAKE it?Comment

Seriously... Get this boat and some maxamps lipos lolComment

I read the WHOLE thread... I like the boat ok... but just trying to figure out if dropping $1k on this thing is really going to do it for me... I am reading all I can, but I am seeing a TON of hatred on this boat here and what I dont understand is NONE of you guys actually own the thing... I want ACTUAL owners feedback... not some bitter members against VENOM or ATOMIK... I have seen the VENOM models in the past, and the quality just isn't there, especially with the hull integrity, paint etc etc... I need to be sure the ATOMIKS aren't just remade VENOMS...How do you LAKE it?Comment

All you need to know is that it isn't worth near what they want for it. And it is severely underpowered, plus the motors are failing. What's to like?Comment
-
has anyone here that ACTUALLY bought the boat got anything to say about it??? quality, running info etc??? actual running videos would be helpful too...How do you LAKE it?Comment

If you don't want advice...
Good luck, new guy.Comment
-
not at all I will appreciate any and ALL advice... I just don't want to get a bunch of people just trashing the Atomik products without first hand knowledge of actually trying them out...How do you LAKE it?Comment

So I guess it means nothing to any of you guys when a company stands by their product and proactively recalls a product because of a production or design mistake? How many of you drive Toyota or any domestic brand or even a BMW that ALL have had their issues and recalls and still you drive them?
Our motor had the wrong epoxy and the magnets could not stay bonded to the rotor, plain and simple. We identified this fault and recalled the whole boat, paid for shipping, and replaced the motors for FREE. Try that with your favorite offshore brand and tell me about the service and support you get elsewhere with any brand on a big ticket item like this boat. This is the least we will do for our customers.
The A.R.C. is still in production and has not been pulled from stores.
The current spec motor epoxy can withstand temps to 316F/158C. The motor has been run to over 200F with no problem although not recommended. The rotor has been put in an oven and baked then had the magnets attempted to be pried off only to chip the edges off. So NO, this is not a cheap quality motor.VENOM RACING R&DComment
