what should i get?
so i have 2 electric stadium trucks and 1 nitro buggy and i really want to get into the sport of rc boats! but i dont kno wether to get an electric or nitro[sm=confused.gif]??? im almost 14 years old and i pay for everything myself. im looking to spend only about $300 max. i love the smell and sound of a nitro but i like the ease of electric. Also i love to go fast![sm=lol.gif] So anyone out there...what are your opinions? and choices of boats?

Renegade rigger for what your asking... little beyond the average person but do some reading first. Or... mod mini-v, mini-rio, mini-cat and you should be fairly close to your budget. Smaller is generally cheaper due to motor size, and batt's, but for some of the boats you can go just as fast as bigger budget boats.
Or my fav knock off jet sprint modded, can run in rivers no damage to prop cept if your suck up gravel or sand.
Or sv27 but it's an additional 50 bucks beyond your budget not to mention batt.

Or if you want a catamaran go for the Black Jack 26.

if you want a catamaran check out the Velocity Cat from Mini Cat Racing...... www.minicatracingusa.com........ check out the video on the Velocity Cat page....very fast and runs 244.00 shipped..... i just ordered the Velocity Mono....... all you have to do is supply batts and radio equip. should come close to your budget..... also what size boat are you looking for? the Velocity series is almost 18"....
