I didn't look for long to see if there's already a thread about it but sorry if there is. Anyways, Traxxas just released a newer version of the Traxxas Blast. The good news is this at least shows potential for more marine progress from traxxas.

Ya right, ill believe "more marine progress from traxxas" when they actually put a flex cable in a boat

NEW? hardly... hahaha if you think a set of decals and a new hatch makes it a " new boat" wrong it is the same and will do the same as the original blast. same hull same crappy drive. same motor and crappy AM radio

Agreed. I know, it's basically the same boat. The only difference is a newer looking hull, a new esc, and it's claimed to be more waterproof. But yes, I get your point. A fiberglass hull, medal prop, flex cable and FM radio, etc. and it would then be a better boat. Ya, recently traxxas has been big on releasing newer versions of the same thing.

What I meant by new is simply the fact that they just released this particular boat. And when I said the release shows potential for more marine progress from Traxxas, I mean they haven't completely dropped re-engineering their marine products. Hopefully they'll actually release something completely new to the marine product line in the nearby future.

It's ok, but the 380 has to go but the outdrive is so-so but for that size i just did like the Mini-V .098 cable left open at the transom and turns at least 20 degrees for a 14" boat is plenty for turning. Motor has to go, and ? the esc ability to standup to the task.
