    looks like they hit the ball out of the park to me. 4 trim schemes, a proven motor esc combo, and a perfect boat for multiple classes such as LSO, or p spec mono, or built up to run in p offshore or p mono.

    As for the bow, seems like it has to do with aerodynamics there, not hydrodynamics. It didn't seem like it was gonna sub at any point during the vid. The bow should be up out of the water most the way anyhow right. I am no boat designer though so maybe someone from AQ can chime in.

    I also wonder if the 42x55 on the back is going to come with it. Here is an eagle tree chart of a 42x55 paired with the aq 1800 kv motor in a Vegas duece conversion
    Eagle tree, 42x55 on vegas amp, mah.jpg The 100 amp spike is from my "start" I was practicing for oval so i pretended there was a mill but got to the line too soon so had to slow down and then gun it at 0. Well within the amp draw the combo is rated for the rest of the run. And less then 2000 mah after 2.5 min keeps it easy on the batteries.

    Quote from the website..

    "Genuine GrimRacer™ parts translate into extreme speeds, excellent handling and impressive durability, from the highly efficient water pickup system integrated into the pre-sharpened rudder to the carbon-fiber trim plates. As an added performance plus, the Revolt 30 comes with a GrimRacer metal 42x55 prop.

    Missed that one. Seems like a good match with the esc/ motor and boat. Just started running the prop and have to say i'm diggin it. I have another one that i detounged, What are your thoughts on that?

    Found it, guess i should have clicked the features button.

    i agree, this may be my next boat as a rx ready version. But with heats this weekend, nationals in month, and a vacation to Florida, the finances cant handle another boat purchase. I do have some boring car stuff i could try sell though...

    Also i'm gonna stop posting here so hopefully it will die out and we can stay on track in the other thread started by grim, I'm sure the boat will have it's own section as soon as Steve gets the chance to make it happen.

    Dont take me the wrong way....................I am a very positive boater and focus on the positive points 99% of the time, It is a very nice boat................has the same "clean" appearance inside as the MC does, kudo's there. Regardless of the photo angle, it doesnt flow well at all with the sexy contours of the rest of the hull...................it looks almost like a cardboard mock-up someone made themself to build a replacement canopy...................sorry for the tuff love. If the photo is correct, then it has completely vertical sides...............???

    Once again though, very nice offering to the P mono class and it will surely bite into Impulse sales....................is the Hull a true 30" transom to tip?

    The pickup slot is on the right side of the rudder blade so it will be fine......................is there a hint of "Britishness" in the manual.....................H. Kong etc...................????

    some monos ride higher then others...for instance i am much more likely to stuff the nose on a df 29 then i am a cyberstorm..just saying..not knocking it..just it looks like it rides low which is beneficial in turns especially it digs in well

    I'm pissed - You're taking away all my fun ; ez in/out motor mount, battery hold-down straps, ultra-tasty hardware on the rear, 42/55 prop. What's next ? 5.5 bullets & a visible side water outlet ?

    just around the corner man.. just around the corner..

    My job is to give you no work when it comes to "modifying" the boat.

    There are a few things Im going to look closer at after this boat hits the shores.. but its going to be a solid release!
