Been prepping mine to use for Q-Cat this year.
One thing that is impressive about the factory boat is the quality of the steering servo. Specs are pretty nice for an RTR... Price is certainly amazing for this quality of a Servo!

Because I believe in overkill for racing boats, I decided to give one of the new Spektrum S6230 Digital servos for mine. This will provide way more torque than is required, and also a faster transit/response time, which may (or may not) help in traffic or on an offshore course.
