    ***NEW**** Pro Boat Voracity 36" Mono!!

    Guys and Gals,

    THIS is the one I've been biting my tongue over for the past several months!

    Rafael and the Gang at Pro Boat have REALLY stepped it up! I've tested this boat extensively and it TOTALLY FREAKING ROCKS!

    You have GOT to check this out!!

    Sorry... I know I'm sounding like a "homer", but this fills a void in the market that I have felt has been there for some time.

    The hull design REALLY works well at this size, and the power system is great.

    Give it a look!!

      Sweet! This is the mark that Traxxas totally missed.

      Interesting strakes on this one. Looks dead on in the shot from the front.

        Here's your upsized impulse 31. Now there is no reason to buy a spartan! This is a bad dude!

          Price?

          How does the lack of a wet well affect adjustability of the strut?

            It's listed on the site as $529. Brass bends fairly easy and it looks like it has an adjustable strut

                Adjustable strut or not, with no well, what can you really adjust other then a little positive or negative angle.
                It's not really gonna go up or down.
                The strut just holds the tube and prop in place.

                  Hi everyone! Darin thanks for making this thread and all of your help in being part of the Pro Boat Team. The Pro Boat Team isn't just us, within Horizon Hobby. It's every tester we have out there who provides use the necessary data through extensive testing to help make our products better.

                  The strut doesn't need to be adjusted up or down. It's placed at the boat's ideal position or depth. No different than most the boats built by most model boaters

                  .The strut angle is adjustable, without being overly loose or needing to bend the tube. In the picture below it is almost 3* which is more than the boat will ever need. It's loose with more than 2*, but gets upwards of 52mph, with good LiPos, on 6s. The videos are being loaded. We'll post the web promotion video soon and they are working on loading one of my many, unedited, 52 mph runs on 6s. Honestly, this boat is just fun regardless of speed claims or any of that stuff. I think customers will be very pleased with its performance and handling, over all.

                        Thanks for the explanation Rafael, I was just wondering why you went away from it after being used on the 31" Impulse.

                        Sweet looking boat, are the graphics stickers or painted?

                          What's the difference in this and what 95% of the people on here do....they put a stinger on their mono and that only allows angle adjustment too...no? Just no bling bling.....iirc you had a stinger on yours that only allow angle adjustment.....like most everyone else that builds a boat. :)

                            Wet well schmet well. None of my mono have a wet well. Don't over think it guys.

                            This appears to be an honest to goodness 6s RTR. I see zero down side to this. Can't wait for them to start showing up at the local puddles. Maybe we'll see a surge of 6s racers. How cool would that be?

                              I have no idea man. I've built most of my boats with the stinger drives and they have worked just fine.
                              I did one df 26 with a wet well and strut, and really didn't find the need for all that adjustment up and down. I've only found a smal adjustment in the angle has been all I've ever needed.
