Wholy crap! New traxxas 50MPH brushless boat!!

Ah Ha... I too listened to the video several times and it says it has a direct drive setup with flexshaft, and several HP traxxas motor, with waterproof speedy nice... and the hull looks and rides good in the water. HMMM I bet it can go faster...

Regardless of the power system, I'd be interested to know of the 36" length given is the real hull length, or with hardware?

If it includes hardware, then I think it's safe to assume that the hull would be in the 33-34" range, which would be great for NAMBA/IMPBA racing. Anytime there is another hull choice out there that might help bring people into the racing world, I'm excited.

MORE of you need to get involved in the racing. You'll learn more, and have more fun, and make MORE friends, that you EVER will sport hopping! It's really not that much of a major committment, and it's a ton of fun!

Amen Darin. I was really nervous about racing but once you get to know the guys your racing with it's just crazy gobs of fun. Every time a heat ends we have to yell at the guys to bring their boats in because they're too busy yapp'n about the heat. Usually giggling like children.

I was thinking about those old FDM32 plastic hulls. Those came with a slick frame assembly you dropped in to stiffen the whole thing up. They could do the same thing with this. A well placed inner liner with stringers formed into them could make it pretty sturdy.

We could also add some CF if needed

[T.S.Davis]

Yeah, even a couple cheapo aero shafts could make a difference.

If they're hitting 50 I wonder what someone with some prop expertise could squeeze out of it.

Hope they don't use those KB45 motors because they sucks.
