It looks alot like the Exceed!
yes it does kent. also i had noticed that the motor mount is alot the the exceed boats too
i had thought this was interesting enough to go in the q and a forum, where more people would see it, since it's not every day the sv27 might be replaced.... also, i had no comments about the boat, i just thought people would be interested to know it exists.
They are totally different, the transom on the Exceed is very tricky, I wanted to buy that boat but stopped short of pulling the trigger because there is no room to put turnfins and trims. My thoughts were that if the Venom KOS P1 needed these items for better running, then this Exceed would need that as well, Venom and Exceed is somehow connected, the hardware is identical.
The Exceed hull is very scale looking, as such, my expectation for speed is realistic. (low)
I pre-ordered the Revolt30, can't wait! really excited.
Thanks! Can't wait, but you know, I waited more than 6 months for the Motley Crew. When Tower says the projected time for stock arrival, they aren't always accurate.
If you are thinking about getting one DO NOT DELAY.
We have a ton of them coming but the back orders are PILEING up.. BIG TIME!
You do not want to miss that first shipement!

HI Grim, Thanks for the heads up. Awesome boat you designed! One stupid question: do you foresee any quality issues from the 1st batch? Anyway, I already pre-ordered mine because of the back order experience I had.
Thanks again for your knowledge, dedication and passion so us newbies can have some pretty amazing boats! ( I mean newbies being able to enjoy more than just entry level FE boats)
Awesome I pre-ordered mine on tower the today you posted here in the forums.I hope I can get one of the first batch boats.Great looking boat Grim.
Clearly it looks similar and is nothing like the exceed. Grim stuff is wayyy better. The color scheme and motor mounts are the only things that look somewhat similar. I don't do much rtr stuff anymore, but I may have to get one of these )
Went to my Canadian RC Boat store and they haven't heard of it yet !! I want one and the first in Canada would be Cool !!
I want one as well, but this time I'll wait a bit to see if there are any new boat gremlins. Really hope not.
Wish a version without a TX/RX were available though.
If my boats upside down then who owns the one I thought I was driving the last two laps?
My apologies I only saw the 349$ version in the link I didn't realize there was a version available without the radio system.
This is great, a lot of us already have a radio of choice and don't need another.
3 Cheers!

Bruce.. Your asking in good faith so this answer will follow.
I dont have the shipment yet BUT.. I would like to see the battery tray be a thcker plastic. It works well but would make me feel better.
I would also like to see them apply the glue to hold the tray in and the stuffing tube also done a little neeter. But.. again not a show stopper.
I might (MIGHT) also ask them to use larger tubing on the cooling system in the future.. we will see.
Thats it..
O yea.. kick that 800 lb flex shaft issue in the A......
I really think you are going to like this little hot rod!
Grim
Billy.... You need some lipos
Hey grim, I'm curious about the rudder. Will they be available? My Df 26 needs a good rudder, but all the ones that will fit are poor quality, and the good ones are to darn big to even mount! Can you tell me anything about this rudder? Thanks
Lipos on the way out? Not sure about that...
life cells aren't taking lipo's out of the picture anytime soon. Energy density is still better with lipos. As to the fire hazard, i tossed an old puffed cell in the drive way, been exposed to extreme heat and cold, but still hasn't exploded. The fire danger has been greatly reduced with the use of chargers with multiple safety loops and just better cell chemistry. A123 cells are not the next big thing either. No doubt something will replace lipo, but i don't believe it is here yet.
Also, why are there already 3 threads on the same boat? Can't wait till they actually come out and 40 threads get started all asking the same questions and getting the same answers.
That’s a good looking mount..
Im under the pretense that great minds think alike!.
Just for the record however so there is no "question".. here is a screen capture of the part in a typical file structure.
As you can see most "part files anyway" are named by Year-month-date.... on the date of creation.
Kind of cool eh!.. ya all get so see some behind the screen here at AquaCraft!
