Red Evo Twin Brushless
Just ordered one of these from HK:
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store...ng_Boat_(570mm)
Looks like its the same boat as Venom sells (MissExcite) for over $300.....will post a review if anyone wants it, when Iget it in the water (hopefully a week or two)
Anyone have this boat?If so, let me know your thoughts....
Thanks!

Yes, that is what I am thinking! Going to run it stock and see how she goes.....thinking it might need some weight to avoid flipping (thinking the 5,000mah batteries will be best)

Ishould have one up in a few weeks (provided it gets here in time), will post it to this thread.
Did you see this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30iw8aC6w
Looks like the same boat, not sure what motor/battery/prop combo they are running vs the stock HKone.

RE: Red Evo Twin Brushless
OK, so she has arrived! Very nice boat. Same HULL as the Excite by Venom.
Some notes - Hull is very nice, paint job is very nice. Servo and motor mount are very stable (not zip tied etc). Has a nice turn fin as well (should help with handling). Did a test run in the bathub, minimal amount of water after sitting in there for 30min (maybe a few drops)
Should get her out in the water in a day or two.....if she handles well, this is a steal for the price. You simply can beat a fiberglass hull like this, with a brushless motor and esc for under $140.

RE: Red Evo Twin Brushless
You might be right, but I can tell you this is the exact same hull as the EVO

RE: Red Evo Twin Brushless
Very cool!
I have several 2200mah 3s packs that I could wire in parallel to make a 3s 4400mah pack
Ohhhh I need one of these little guys!

RE: Red Evo Twin Brushless
Ok, so had my maiden voayge with this boat.
Ran 2650Mah for about 10min. Boat handles extermely well for a hydro...almost flipped it once come out of a full throttle left hand turn (has a turn fin for optimal right hand turns). Other than that I could run full bore and not even come close. Had 15mph winds too, didn't matter.
Would like to say I hit 40, but I think its more like 35mph out of the box (box says 40plus, but I am not so sure....). Its very fast for a stock boat, just don't think its 40mph.....
Taking her back tomorrow, trying a different pack, see if it makes a difference.
Great boat though. Very little water in the hull, handles well for a hydro and is very fast......
Gonna try and get a vid soon, need to get a buddy of mine out there!
