    Vintage Kyosho Jet Stream 800


    This heavy girl runs on 2 brushed titans gear driven. and 14v lipo. Moves pretty good for a heavy boat at 28mph. Originally these boats ran 12mph :P

    This was the first boat I really attempted to mod back when I started the hobby in the early 90s. If I had a nickle for every car motor I smoked in that thing. Once I learned prop theory and bought the crazy half submerged boat esc, which was the standard back them it actually motored pretty good. Mid 20s I'd say. After that I got a couple mrp hydros and super hawaii. All fun but suffered from the dreaded abs plastic deformation at speed and bouncing. How far we have come..

      Sounds like some of my boats you mentioned. I like the challenge of making the old boats up to speed with more modern tech :) I think the old hulls had more detail then modern
