Status: offline 		I have the Impulse 2 V2 in the hobby room, now its at Horizon

If you plan to run this out of the box forget it, some assembly required.
Out of the box the steering servo is not mounted correctly, the laminated wood is broken apart from not drilling deep enough before running the screws in.
They could have moved the servo 1/4 toward the Bow, this would give better access to the servo screws, I am rebuilding this.
No collet on the 5MM motor shaft for the .187 dia. flex cable this will have to go. I did not look to see if the motor has a flat for the set screw yet.
The one way to tighten the prop onto the .187 dia, shaft was to insert an Allen wrench into the set screw on the brass colored collar.
They ground a flat on the flex shaft, the set screw will tear this up after a couple of set screw tightens.
Running the antenna wire is a pain, I ran a cable into the boat and taped the antenna to the cable with my Hatch tape.
An 80 amp speed control with EC3 connectors, they will get cut off tomorrow and replaced with 6MM bullets


the first run with all the factory settings. the progam card will not work so I had to go with the factory settings.
after 5 minutes burned out the RX, big cloud of blue smoke, desoldered the bullets to the motor.
boat was sitting in the lake with a 2 second beep from the speed control.
1. servo tray was broken upon arrival
2. esc progam card would not work
3. burned out the RX and de-soldered the bullets to the motor/esc

they are telling me no refund on this boat,
