Hi all,
I'm quite new to boating been into gas for a while but due to a lot of complaints about noise I want to look at getting into fast electrics.
Thing is I have absolutly no idea where to start!!
I have seen this which looks nice http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWA:IT&ih=020
can any body tell me if it would be a good place to start?
I also really like the look of the H+M drifter cats I'm looking at the small one but have no idea what set ups people are running. can any one help?
Thanks in advance....Pete

come on guys someone must be able to tell me if the mono would be worth looking at, or if it would make more sense to build my own......

Hi Pete,i've made a few electric and gas boats.
That one linked looks a good price,but reckon you will end up replacing the motor and esc after a short while.Cheap electrics means just that,cheap.

If it was me i would i would get this deal;
Microlynxx deal 1; http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/fastelectrics.htm

put an Etti 100amp navy esc and a Mega 22/30/2 with an aluminium water coil and run it on 4S lipo.

Or,if you want a bit bigger the Minilynxx 33 deal 1,; http://www.prestwich.ndirect.co.uk/ look under 'Deep V racing hulls'
same esc,with a Mega 22/35/1E again with a water coil. on 4S lipo.

All the electrics can be bought here;
http://www.astecmodels.co.uk/product...lection=motors

both shops will give you tons of help and advise....

egay sells the Etti but without the good Astec warranty of course[]

This is all good quality gear.

cheers, i had a quick chat with prestwich the other day and they recomended the rtr microdart they have on sale but to me it looked very similar to the ones on fleabay, I do like the look of the the mini and microlynx, I toyed with the idea of getting a full size one fo my zen but ended up with a 43 challenger which is 'fun'!
I want to go fast whatever i end up with that is my goal....

The Microdart would be too small if your used to a big gas boat,plus the electrics are probably naff,Dave is a gas,nitro man pure and simple[8D].

I have both of the hulls i mentioned earlier and both run very fast and reliable,with decent gear inside.

trust me,electric R/C can be very tempermental with below par components.
Buy the best you can afford.......
