RE: Aquacraft Motley Crew Video
Is this the boat that they were working on a year ago? Did it just come out? Surprising there isn't more hype about it. Look's like a solid runner. Guessing it will be comparable to MG? I'm not interested in getting one as it's so much like my balsa cat but I'm curious how it's received.

RE: Aquacraft Motley Crew Video
Yup that's the one they have been working on for a while. It truley is an awesome running boat, It came out last month, I am also surprised there is not a lot of hype on it. I think people maybe turned off a little by the theme of the boat, I must admit the images on the computer didn't impress me but I knew it was a solid runner from the racers feedback on the prototype aquacraft was running at events. I have both the MG and MC and both are completely awesome. PB is coming out with Miss Geico version 2http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...rodID=PRB4075S

Yup, it's the one AQ have been working on for a while now - just got mine today and REALLY want to go run it. I took a few things apart and did a little stuffing tube re-alignment, snugging up screws and I re-soldered the flex shaft for good measure.
I've been keeping an eye on this boat since it was announced. It's a great layout. I can't wait to hit the water with it.
One question I do have though is, should I replace the deans connectors with bullets before the first run? I probably will eventually, but I'm a bit impatient to get her wet and I do have a pair of 5000mah 20c packs with deans on them just sitting here...

I had my boat for about a few days before it ever hit the water. I re-torqued every screw, changed the motor/esc connections to 5.5mm and changed the esc power to 5.5mm, re-greased the flex shaft, line up the stuffing tube better added a octura coupler and 5mm thrust bearing all before she ever hit the water. I would dump the deans asap. I put 4 runs on it with a CF42 and a stock flexshaft then I got a better more true and reliable flexshaft and slapped the grim 42x55 on it.
