    I just ran mine stock today for the first time. Man a 3600mah 6 cell nimh runs for like 20 min in this thing. Great fun for a beginner boat. Now time to mod!

    so i threw in the brushless system in it and man was it fun. i got some vid of it on 2s, 3s, and 4s. this boat handles the power really well. when i get the videos from diegoboy i will post them. my speeds were 2s:18mph 3s:26 and 4s 32 there is a lot of tuning needing to be done in order to get the full potential out of this boat. it was great fun though.
