Status: offline 		I thought I would start a new thread for this boat since it seems to be getting popular but there is not much info out there yet on it. I ordered mine from http://r2hobbies.com/products.php?cat=58 and should be getting them any day now. They did not have white ones in stock so they sent yellow ones which they do not show on their website yet. Here is a pic of what they sent me below. If anyone has these boats please post away. When I get mine I will post pics and video.

Status: offline 		You will like these boats they are very fast setup right.

I haven't got the RTR type, I am building mine from the hull up. I have the orange Delta Force 25" hull, some different B/L motors to try, a mish mash of hardware I have around.

I race in the Toronto area, good to see more Canadians into the fast electrics.

Cheers and keep it wet side down

Status: offline 		Well I have 2 on the way so I hope they are good! I will be running mine on 4S 2200mah lipos to start with on the stock motor and a Turborix Advance 50A Bi-directional ESC from the same place, I will add water cooling to it. I will then go from there. What Motor/ESC/bats you use in yours? Yes, always good to see Canadians eh?

HEy if you want a realy fast setup, try a 9L on 12 cells or 4s lipo. Should get you to 50mph

you cont need 4s to run 50. 2s E1 mono will run 50.

Status: offline 		No way!!!

I ordered mine on 6/26

A week later I was told it was back ordered for 2-3+ weeks or I could take a yellow one which would be in stock in one week.

Mine officially shipped 7/7

Now I gotta ask, what hardware is on the transom. The Boat on there site has a single rod type unit. The yellow boat pictures they sent me have a 2 piece strut like deal...

Pics ASAP please

True but these guys arent willing to pay that much for it.

Status: offline 		Bass, you should have yours soon, I think it took about a week to get mine one they were shipped. These boats I got have the stinger type mono drive... "rod type". I shot some pics and got lots of the build done tonight but now the bad news.... I gotta get to bed because I am going camping in the morning till Monday. I know you guys hate me now but sucks for me too because I have to wait all weekend to get her wet. Motors are small, about 28mmx28mm. I use a similar size outrunner in my Hydromite and it has WAY too much power on 3S, mind you the KV is high at 3600 on that one, should be lower. Before I bolt I will add that so far I am happy with these boats for the money, there are a few little things that I didn't like or had to fix but they are minor, no big deal, I will tell ya more when I get back. Can't wait to get them in the water and see how they do!
