Looks like a beginner kit. I saw one for sale, but can't find other info.

Default What would you like to know

We are the North American dealer for DPI. (The company that makes the Schiada)

The Schiada is a great beginner boat as it comes from the box. It can easily be hopped up and is still very competative with any similar boat made today.
It has won IMPBA and NAMBA championships in 6 and 7 cell classes.
Any .05 sized motor will fit directly in to the hull, and the speed is only limited by the motor and number of cells you want to use.

I have run our demo with a Hacker B508S brushless, and 8 cells.
Using the Fullers hardware, it managed a respectable 32.4 MPH (Average) on a timed run over a NAMBA legal measured course.

Any more questions, Ask Away!

Thanks Climate:
I'm looking at the Basic Kit. Will you send me some pics of the inside and transom (is that the back?)? I'm mostly interested in how the motor and drivetrain is set up.

It's a pretty good kit. I bought one for my son when he was first starting out. We had a lot of fun with it. I used a lot of my old R/C truck parts in it including mod motors.
A little known fact. The Pro Boat Nitro Fury is the Nitro version of this boat, I still have one of those in my basement. I don't think that they are made any more though.
Jerry Dunlap did a review of this boat in RCBM when it first came out. He later did some mods to it like putting in a suface drive setup.

I was just looking at the Nitro Fury in an old mag. I found it here:

If you'd like to sell yours, send pics and lmk.
