With that being said I've always wanted a kos since I first drooled all over one at my local HobbyTown when they first came out.
Luckily someone here on the board had one for sale a couple of months ago so I jumped on it even though it needed a hatch but it turns out that someone else sure on the board had a new hatch from a Seagad so I jumped on that and 4 5000mah 50c lipos to get this beauty started.
I'm not looking to turn this into a hot rod even though this one is practically bone stock with the exception that it has the upgraded clamp style motor mounts and the upgraded 2850kv mills in it w/ the 60a esc's that are rebranded Tutnogu Seakings . If I have any problems with the motors later I'll swap them out for some Tacon's or Leopards from hobbypartz since they apparently quit making the Fiegao's & the ammo's from Tower Hobbies have gotten stupid expensive. I also plan on putting some wheel callers on the flex shafts so I don't lose either one of them but if Jeff is still making them or has some I'll order some spare Flex shafts and a couple collet's from him. The radio I plugged into this boat is my airtronics MX sport but I don't plan on using this as a frequent Runner but more of an occasional sport boat on X442 or CF-40 props just for fun and I thought I'd show it off cause their damn purdy' :tiphat: ...
