Boats looks very attractive but in video looks slow, I hope they will looks same as picture because I notice a lot of Photoshop editing in all pictures…. It is obvious in latest pictures in the lake because it is impossible for hatch ventilators to reflect on mirror water

I can promise you that photo was not touched up or faked in any way, the only photshop done was the logos. Its a low camera angle so yes they do reflect. We are fortunate to have a nice calm small pond to take photos in and test run boats.
These boats are not intended to break records out of the box. They are plenty fast enough for any person new to bigger boats to get used to the size and speed. All the experienced customers know very well how to make boats go faster and we are sure they will.
We will also offer optional parts to make them faster in the near future.

The RTR weight is about 15lbs and the hull alone I dont have that info at the moment but will look into it.

Thanks Chris for your comment, I didn’t mentioned retouching by Photoshop to harming your product, they really looks nice scaled models and many modelers in France like this hull, also estimated prices are very competitive compared with prices in France.
What about engine rails and mount are they compatible with Zenoah engines? although most modelers wishing a fast boats, I believe driving this scaled models under any speed is a pleasure by itself. Good luck and keep posting.

We will have photos of the interior very soon, we are taking nice studio shots. The engine rails are common to any Zenoah type engine and engine mount system and they can be adapted to your particular application.

Will this be a clutch or direct drive? I saw someone else asked but didn't see an answer.

Beginner friendly = clutch. The only one to understand that so far is Bonsi, WHH and Proboat. Hopefully your's have clutches or the ability to add one.

In an effort to meet a price point on the Cat's they dont have a clutch but you can add one if you like. The Strait Jacket has a clutch but a different engine package from the Cat's.

hey guys, iv been away from the site for a bit and decided to return and see whats going on. these new boats sure do look nice. its to bad that people have already started to slam venom for making them. i think that what people have to realize is that sometimes people just want something thats is COOL!!! these boats are just that, cool!
i think that these boats have a great place in our hobby and venom is doing nothing but providing more choices for people that probably wouldnt consider boats as an option. take me for example. if proboat wouldnt have released the miss bud i wouldnt have tryedsomething new. i fell in love with the boat and went out and bought a shockwave 36. after the that i just had to have a thundercat 31. i then had to have a miss vegas, then came the aquacraft v24. then, came the blackjack 55. after all this i was really bitten by the bug and i had to have a"REAL" rc boat, so in comes a new aeromarine apache 56. my latest addition is a rio 51. i have never had real problems with any of my boats so i have nothing but praise for rtr boatmanufacturers. if it wasnt for them i would only run cars and would have probably been bored with it all.
everyone should realize that not everyone is gonna take this boat and run it against a thunderbolt and expext to blow it out of the water. im a firm believer that sometimes people just want something thats really cool and before we start to put them down, lets look at who this product is really for. thanks venomous

sorry, just had to put my 2 cents in. dont mean to offend anyone

Thanks for the support. We take many factors into consideration when planning to release a new platform and there are always risks involved. We totally understand we cant please everyone. As with any product if you like it you take it as it is and you either build it up to your expectations or leave it alone. I hope customers really enjoy these boats and we will provide our renowned customer service to make customers happy.

We are going to debut them this week to the dealers in Vegas so we have been working very hard to get everything done for the show. The boats should arrive late next month. We will catch up with exterior/interior shots just as soon as we can.

This Cat are also made in china but not by FS Racing, the quality of hull and hardware are excellent. I believe many well known US manufacturer produce their products in china where labor coast is much less than USA.
