honestly nobody here recomends the mass produced chinese boats you get off of ebay. If you spend cheaply you get cheap. Ever heard the saying if it walks like a duck, sounds like a duck..... Now just a word of warning both sides of fast rc boating ( fast is also a speculative term) electric an nitro have sides to both of them that involve a certain bit of know how to run. An dont think owning cars planes or even helis give you an edge on the learning curve boats are a whole nother beast! All youve learned so far that I can see is that stuff breaks, yup it happens on electrics too. I would suggest mocking up an adjustable strut to replace that one you currently have on. be prepared to spend what you spend on the bits (ecu motor hardware) spend that amount equally or even more so on the batteries an seriously listen to the advice of much more electric inclined folks on this website. I personally only have a villian ep an shes bone stock because Im a gear head an nitro just was easier than adding subtracting dividing ohms amps volts discharge rate an the plethora of other terms you will have to become intimate with. Wish you luck with your endever an hope you learned the real lesson, not that nitro is crap nor for that matter electric, but Most mass produced ebay only sold chinese knockoffs are crap. dont let this discourage you if you spend the right amount of money by buying from the right source you wouldnt be in this mess in the first place. look to the knowledge of others we are all here to help!
