Default RE: Formula Fastech Brushless

I just purchased the Fastech Brushless Deep Vee, and am very happy with the boat so far. The speed and handling are excellent using NiMh batteries- I will be going to Lipo power soon. The only negatives so far:

1. Short runtimes (but should be longer with higher capacity Lipos)
2. The hull takes on some water, most likely through the steering linkage boot- so far, no water has gotten in the electronics box
3. Cheap and poorly placed decals

I would estimate the top speed to be around 30 mph with 2 3000 MAh NiMh batteries- pretty impressive out of the box.
