wicked.....

[Gary]

Yea it took a while to get it all sorted out so the batts would fit but it runs great. It can run faster but its real light and gets to crazy........Thanks Rumdog and Lipo Power

[H&MWill]

Nice build man! Looks very quick

[Jabbo]

Looks great I only hope mine comes out 1/2 as nice

[Gary]

thanks guys. I really built this so that i would have a boat to enjoy and not put pressure on myself like my SAW hydro does. That thing drives me insane trying to run it over 100mph and keep it on the water. Plus I really dont need much room to run it anywhere and its quiet.

Great vid and tight runner! beautiful back drop and perfect lake, only missing some buoys...

I just love these hulls, realistic and they are pretty dang stable at speeds (at least my speeds). Lets see if we can break 60mph... (mine's at the same speed yers is, too close to 60 to not shoot for it).

Very nice! Umm its not water tight though..? How do you keep your components dry?

[Jesse J]

was wondering the same thing. even with my subhatch it ain't water-TIGHT. I see Jabber has a radio box, but to get your COG far enough forward... This is one of the biggest problems with these great looking/performing boats. I guess, just don't flip it

[Gary]

My radio box is totaly water proof. I sealed it up and have nver gotten one drop of water in it. As far as where the batts and motor are it will get some water but it never hurts anything. I have run 62mph with a 7 xl but it was to squirly and used more power for a shorter run time so i decided it wasnt worth the headach. Right now its a perfect balance of speed and run time. HMMMMM I think i might try 22 volts and see what happens LOL . Just ONE TIME I SWEAR !!!!!!!!

HAHA, HAVE FUN! AND YES WATER DOES HURT LIPOS

[Rumdog]

Hmmm, I've submerged lipos many times and haven't had an issue yey.

Ditto; As long as they dry out afterwards, all works well!!!!!

[Jesse J]

Yes, must have patience, I consider it my punishment for getting them wet. Remove wrapper, set on a sham-wow and don't touch for a day or so. better yet, in the sun or blown dry.
