need help to buy 1st brushless boat!
 
1 Attachment(s)
so, ive had 1 or 2 brushed boats in the past. Nothing special...and not that much fun for me.

I have recently ran this eco boat I bought and stuck a brushed system into. For some reason, its kinda fun. Tho I want more speed.

I dont think this boat can work on brushless. for one, the prop has a small chip and I have no idea where to get a replacement. There is NO branding on the boat at all. It also doesnt have a cover on the top. Not a big deal for the speed it goes now...but a problem if I double that speed.

The boat is fairly wide...and handles well.

My questions revolve around hull type and charactoristics. I have eyed some of the exceed ARTR offerings. I know they dont have good customer service...and the quality control may be an issue...but the prices considering the gear included is pretty tempting. Most are under $250 shipped.

Are there some better...brand name boats that are brushless for that kinda cash? I dont want a small boat...24inch min. would prefer maybe 30inch

I included a couple of pics of the boat Im running now.

oh, one thing I should mention is that I like how my boat leans as it turns.

What kinda hull is mine considered? Its not really a deep V.
