"You hook a 5 lb bass and you're going to lose your boat.. :-)" from my RC friend BIG ALICE!
Hey Alice!
You do see how small that modified 25 year old Radio Shack boat is? Even a medium sized bluegill will take it away......Doesn't have a self righting feature either and will flip from just the prop torque from a standing start if the throttle is jammed forward all the way. I have to cut the throttle back to 60% to let anybody drive it or it's swimming time! Just on 2S
Little bit of fun info; I've always used Nitro fuel and just recently plunged into electrics. The first couple speed mods on the boat resulted in flames! Had no idea what I was doing and burned up several brushed systems.... It's running a brushless full water cooled system for around 6 years now, capable of 3S. But the hull is not capable of 3S.......
See what grandsonny says about boat driving as the little boat takes on ever increasing bodies of water.
