Yes, yes and yes, I mean no! Boats now get announced a week before they ship so we are 100% on schedule unless something happens with the shipping vessel.Quote:

Well, in "Engineering Land", I know what that means...usually, 99.9% of the time, there is something to wait for!
Well, again, I am late, however, only by less than 6 hours this time as I received an e-mail from Horizon Hobby this afternoon and had to pull the work vehicle over to check out the two boats that were listed! At the time, the Pro Boat site wasn't even updated, however, at this time it is and this is the prefect size for me personally.
My only gripe, yup, we are a tough crowd,... apparently,...and would have loved to see a different color scheme, but nothing some custom graphics can't fix! I will say, the blue hull color is good though...
Excellent job, this really fills the void in the size, component, material usage and overall package value compared to other offerings on the market as I have been doing research for over a year now!
...dang,...the Pre-Order link isn't active yet...:frusty::censored::swear:
Excellent, so this could be stripped down to a simple blue hull...hmmmm.....Quote:

Nice to have a RTR Q Mono.....Will they be available without a TX/RX?
Whats the diameter of the flex?
Some Key features that usually don't make it to the web.
2 pins for the canopy.

5mm, abs plate to reinforce transom. No wood at all in this hull.

Production boats will have a thumb screw instead of a spring loaded twist lock.

As of right now, no plans for a BND.Quote:

Cool !!
good job at the guys of pro boat!!!

IS READY TO RUN!!!!!!!
Go ahead and find something better?
again good job for a rtr boat is looks great!!!

$476.99 shipped...now it will be a waiting game!
nice job guys! first impression was positive,liked the running gear.video was impressive as well.my only gripe is all these new boats look generic(im talking mono hulls from Proboat,Aquacraft Traxxas).they all have the same characteristcs looks wise,nothing distinct other than the colors and stickers.kind of boring if you ask me. i am impressed with the performance of the boat though,judging by the video,looks like Proboat hit a home run with this one.i'll take the running gear out of this one and throw it in my Fastech that way i'll have the best of both worlds....Quote:

take the running gear from the Verocity and install it in my Fastech.meaning buying the motor and esc separately and installing it in my Fastech.i plan on running it on 4s.that better?Quote:

Regardless, seems like overkill putting that motor in a fastech. But to each his own man.

wont be overkill on 4s.6s,yes,it would be overkill.Quote:

torque
Well then, hopefully it works out and you find all that un needed power and torque useful in that small hull.
I would save my money but to each his own

it looks that you are the boat guru and your trying so hard to defend your point of view, chill, everyone is has a different point of view. If you feel insulted, well is not my intensions, like you said the forum is to "openly" talk about boats etc.
Again check yourself bcd everyone does not has the same opinion as you.
Any ways, Happy 4th to everyone!!!

Hi Rafael:
What is the transom doubler made out of? Looks like white plastic.
