Default RE: Any one know anything about this RTR?

Do a search on You Tube and you'll see that it's a slug.
I love when they use the word "Professional" in their ads as this isn't a professional sport/hobby.
Now onto the part where we put it down. Note the exposed servos and RX switch, not good as when water gets to it they'll go quickly. They also include a bottom-of-the-line Futaba Mag Sport AM radio. You don't want AM in a gas boat and even worse on 27 Mhz.
I love "Retail" prices as they could put a Gazillion Dollars in there to make it look like you're getting a deal.
Nobody runs a 33cc engine in racing.
The "Ron Hill" type prop. They must have seen his name on eBay and his props aren't all that hot. Ron also makes props for full-sized boats.
Note the return policy. If you have a tiny defective part you have to send the whole thing back and pay for shipping! Basically once you've got it you're stuck with it.
