ThunderTiger's entry in BL

ABSOLUTELY! Couldn't agree more. BUT, they need to make stuff that is killer for a reasonable price rather than mediocre. It wouldn't have cost TT more than another $30 to use a better motor and speed controller! I know, I import all the time.
If a newbie spends $600+ for a boat and then it doesn't run as good as the other guys at the pond, they will get discouraged! From the video, it looks slower than the SV27, UL-1, BJ26, etc. and they are almost 1/2 the price. Yeah, they're smaller, but....

not gonna get one, not shopping at the moment...but still, the more companies that go this direction, the better we'll be for it IMO.Mini Cat Racing USA

I cannot imagine what my 44-inch Sniper would do on 4S1P and 60 amps!!!
I looked at the manual as well. You have to pull the strut to remove and lube the shaft. Weird.
I will say that I have seen the nitro version of this hull (on display not running) and it is nicely done. And yes, it looks a lot like a Sniper.Don't get me started

It has that same crappy square drive setup? OK, I pretty well know who is making the boat for them and they are paying about $150-$175 for them.

Yeah, the price point definitely needs massaging, especially for that performance, but still we haven't heard any first hand reports.Originally posted by sailr View PostIf a newbie spends $600+ for a boat and then it doesn't run as good as the other guys at the pond, they will get discouraged!

What do the Nitro guys pay for a rtr boat that big?
When are New Bright and Radio Shack gonna throw brushless motors in their stuff?

That mono was impressive!Originally posted by Jeepers View PostI don't know about the electric version of this, but its nitro counter part does fine in a race a, guy in the Northern Colorado Nitro Burners club stuck a MAC .45 in it flat hauls the mail, and with a little tuning it handled wind and race water great. He was very impressed.
Brian, the owner of the nitro version was running with the gassers and was kicken their gas!
It cut through their wakes like nothin
