    We ll we had a blast for about two seconds as my two sons crashed and put a giant hole in the hull of one of the boats. We did blast around with the remaining two, and all I can say is I am very happy. Using Venom 20C 1300mah packs. I took some video but have to edit it all later. I also fixed the one hull already. We were in some rough water.

    I shot two videos today. In the first video the arm going from the rudder to the servo rod snapped in half. I like everything about this boat except the design of the "breakaway" rudder. They should have put the rudder on an adjustable hinge so that it can only break back, and not sideways, as this puts stress on the arm and rod, AND servo. Don't know how I am going to fix this now.

    Anyway, the first video is with the plastic prop sharpened for better bite, and top speed, the second video is my repaired sons boat with an x430 metal prop.

    I don't think it's quite 30. I didn't even really feel much difference between props. Remember the first run I couldn't really open it up because it was too choppy. That second run used up 1100mah. Soon I'll get the eagle tree in there if I didn't toast it today in my other boat. Both props are essentially the same diameter and pitch.
