Default RE: Speed

Search at www.offshoreelectrics.com , on the forum is a posting from Steven Vaccaro, who tested the boat and was not amused by the lack of speed and runtime.

Stock, the Academy Triton is one of the best looking, but poorest performing RTR/Kit boats I've come across, you'll have to put in a lot of work on the hull (sharpen all trailing edges, improve running surfaces), lose the dreadfull outdrive (I wrecked it within ten runs), put in a 700 with12 cells and a flex-shaft to get it moving...., you might aswell have built a boat yourself.
