    Default Roll over kit

    If you don't care how your SV looks then this may be a great option.

    FUGLY it is but it might be saved with a creative paint job. I wonder why you can't paint it? (according to the instructions) And most important, does it work? If it does I'll take FUGLY any day. If anyone has used this contraption please post their results!

    Hey thanks I missed that it looks like it works. It also looks even WORSE in the video than in pictures....sigh! I love a rollover feature but maybe not that much.

    That is the strangest looking but most useful thing you could possibly buy for the sv. Personally I will stick with my retrieval boat.

    I want one for my mini v. But I think that the boat is too small for something like this even I built one to size for the mini v. How does the gecko self right?

    In my gecko, I put the battery and esc on the left side and add a 50g weight on the left side interior wall too. In this configuration, the boat self rights instantly.....The other option is to add a small flood channel like the Europeans do.

    You made me laugh so much I have tears rolling down my face . If that’s just an accessory they make let’s hope they never start to make FE boats.

    Maybe if you painted a face on it and pretended it was a seriously fat driver
    Naaaah it's still the ugliest thing I have seen in a long while.

    I think he's trying to get it off but it refuses to comes off...Just imagine what Aquacraft is thinking.

    The guy set out to right his boat if it flips... got to give the guy credit...it works. Remember the saying one mans garbage is anothers treasure. I would like some of what he was smoking when he thought of it...hehehe I have to agree with steve.. prob stick to a rescue boat.

    Ok I have to laugh at the "painted a face on it and pretended it was a seriously fat driver". . . . . that was classic. . . .Maybe it's ideal to use to help tune a fast boat, and once you get tuned with that on, take it off? Or good for practice for kids? I'm trying to think of why someone would want it. As for the banging it on the water, maybe they realized it was so ugly after the fact they were trying to get the ugly thing off?

    Dude, now I have tears running, I can barely see to type....lol... I hope the Guy who designed this fine piece of.......I don't know, never reads this.

    P.S. Maybe a good painter could fix him up, maybe camo it. Make the whole thing look like a terradactul(sp) head.Maybe the AFLAK duck.

    Yes I think duck is close. The first time I seen it the name Donald came to mind. Another guy come up with FUGLY and I like that. Fugly Duck. Maybe Steven could run a competition to give "this fine piece of.......I don't know" (I know but I will not say here) a name. Problem is what could he offer for a prize. Not one of these things I hope. No one would enter the competition.
    Your words "Make the whole thing look like a terradactul(sp) head." My suggested name ..... TerrorDuckTul

    Maybe paint a bullseye on it and shoot paint balls at it.

    I love the part where he picks it up and "SLAMS" it into the water!!

    I seem to do that alot at the pond,, pick up my FE boat and slam it into the water, just to see if it cracks!!

    That is the Funniest thing I have seen in a while....
