    By far the most powerful rtr I've ever experienced.

      I like the "radar arch/carrying handle" make getting it in and out of the water easier.

        Isn't it nice? I'm getting old, big boats are tough to launch under Any circumstances..
        I like this boat guys. When you see it on 10s you're gonna FLIP!

          Hi tlandauer, I'm running 8s1p, but am VERY curious about a 2p setup. I'm running her in a Grand Prix superboat race. I have 8-mos to develop her, and can I tell you, I don't believe I need do much to her? 10s2p will require a smaller prop for offshore. I'm seeing Way more speed as these batteries wake up. I saw a pass near 70 today on 8s1p. 10s may be too much though the power system will hold it. Its just too mean of a boat at that power. I don't wanna recommend 10s for the inexperienced. This boat is VERY powerful. No joke..

          I get the 10s batteries wednsday, I'll post vid : )

            Thanks again for the vid.
            T, all you need do is set the strut neutral, sharpen the prop, sharpen the rudder (which I havent done rudder yet)
            This boat is SUPER nice guys. Like nothing I've experienced. My other sponsors have been telling me about these boats seeing them in HK

              Guys, get a load of the drive system. I'm BIG on drive systems. This is a first of its kind for me. A ball bearing flex support!
              Guess what gents, she sports a ball bearing strut as well. That's a good look. Fast stuff I tell you..

                      Wish we had a third so we could run on Sunday, I was a little let down that I hauled out my 41 cat to run with you and you pussed out.

                        Bill, This thing is gonna be nuts on 10s. I don't think you've seen it's full potential on 8s yet.

                          Kudos for them bringing out a big RTR mono....but sticker shock will probably keep most newbies away from it...when you add LiPos and chargers it all adds up.

                          $400.00 (ish) to get a Revolt (or similar) on the water can be a sticker shock to some as well just starting out.


                          Hey...how come the boats in the pics don't have the carrying handle the boats in the vids do??

                            Easy tiger! I thought you said we weren't running the class, plus I had to work champ!
                            The race on the 22nd, its on! I won't "Wuss out" on you guys : )

                              Flaptor, I think you're ABSOLUTELY right. I think 10s may be too much. The system will hold it, and the boat will too, but thats just too fast. I believe I saw a 70mph pass on 8s

                                There are different target markets. This boat has a great price point. The beauty of this boat is that a person is getting everything they want in a stock package as opposed to other pupular chinese brands on here.
                                Buy say a Pirsuit, and the first thing the owner wants to do is put a Leopard, and a Hobbywing HV esc in it. They also have to upgrade the drive system, etc. The person ends up spending close to 800 anyway.
                                These boats asr LEGIT. Rock solid power system right out of the box, full ball bearing drive system, quality layup. A person would have No need to buy an upgrade motor or ESC. The response i'm getting on this boat is tremendous, I've already got 3 friends and family orders on deck. I'm filming an HD video this morning of her that is sure to impress anyone model boater or not.

                                The consumer that seems to desire this is the middle aged wterskier, or someone who lives on a big lake who wants a super fast BIG boat that blasts off reliably right out of the box. The kinda weekend warrior that after a few beers and some beckoning from his friends, he brings this unmatchable beast out and is Guaranteed to impress anyone..
                                There are many folks out there who would love to put out 700 once and be done with it. NO need for any upgrades. Legit running boat..
