I was in the same boat (so to speak). I got into boats around 2001. Got a V-Hull, put an Aveox motor in it. Pieced together the rest. One day the ESC let go and some parts melted into the bottom of...

With the Furitek, I had enough room to put a Spektrum receiver in it so I can use my DX5 Pro radio.

I've got a Furitek with Komodo motor in one of mine and it's a beast. I don't have as much brass as you, but I bet it would be fine.

I would be about 90% sure that it's the extra weight of your brass. You have over 4 ozs in just wheel brass. Put the old wheels on and run a battery through it and see if that helps.

It's awesome. I've tried a couple different props and get anywhere from 45 - 50 on it. The self-righting works great too.

Just keep an eye on the temps if you mod it. It does tend to run a little...

I just picked up a SonicWake V2 a couple weeks ago. I also got a 150A Raider ESC from Off Shore Electrics. I haven't installed it, but it looks like there's plenty of room.

The only glaring issue I see is the battery. RC boats are harder on batteries than just about any other application, and 15C batteries are not going to cut it. For a boat that size 50C would be a...

I mostly run it on the street and a flat dirt oval. The steering is a definitely sharper because of the reduced chassis flex. A big thumbs up.

It's definitely stiffer, more room for the battery too. I doubt it's lighter, though I didn't weigh it.

Carbon Fiber Chassis for 1/16 E-Revo

I like Axials, got 3.

Everyone in our crawler club pretty much agrees the TRX-4 Sport is the best bang for buck crawler out of the box.

Good choice.

Best place to get an answer for these questions is mini-zracer.com

If you learn Korean and/or Japanese you'll find that Mini-Z's are still pretty huge in Asia.

I also have both and would have no problem recommending either one.

If you made me decide, the CastleLink programming software is the tie breaker.

RE: looking for a decent 3s BL set up

I just finished a new TC4 with a SV2 Sidewinder (5700kv motor) in it. The Sidewinder was $129 and it's smoking fast on 2S, I'll need a bigger area to run before I try 3S.

RE: Motor question for RC glider

I stand corrected.

I had always assumed the ejection charge lit the upper stage motor.

I'm a Level 1, so all my flying is done on Aerotechs.
