thanks for your help, but Iam stuck on which one a whh manowar or a manta ray I will get his kit with his promod zen but should I use the wet pipe or a wtc dry pipe If I use a dry pipe I think I will get the manta ray or do you think these boats will do mid 40s with the mod zen and the wet pipe I know the wet pipe is good at keeping the noise down[8D]

Both of these boats are very nice I prefer the looks of the manta-ray and yes they will do mid 40s customer service is hands down the best you would not be dissipointed in either one of them

Have you used that radio in a boat before? If so how well does it work? I have read here that the Spektrum Radio running at 2.4 Ghz has issues with running them in boats due to interference from the rooster tails etc....

Pipe is purely your choice, I'd get both so you can use the wet pipe when you need to be quiet..... even with getting the boat, your budget should support it. Another option is get the dry pipe and get a add-on muffler from here: http://www.americanrcboats.com/produ...gineacczen.htm (lower down on that page)

yes this radio is glitch free no matter what and with the feed back from the boat you know what is going on with the rec batt up to four temps, rpm in real time and with the voice and vibe to give a heads up also with dig sevros you have the best radio check their sight you are right about the pipe I think a red manta ray is in the works
