    Awsome videos! I commented on the Genesis one. What have you done to these two boats and how many cells are in each boat? Verrrry nice boats and sweet lake location as well.

    I also have both the genesis and the geico, the geico is far the way to go between the two boats for handling, my genesis is pretty much my straight line boat but i have got her turning pretty well now but nothing like the geico stock out of the box and as stated in another post here, she comes with a 2.4 system, ive got about 500.00 in my genesis and still going....both are cool boats!!

    I have the twin and it's bad in the turns I have to really REALLY slow down in the turns or I will roll it, same with the Genesis. The apparition because it's a twin and the batteries in the middle is way it rolls so easy in the turns. Other than that it's an Awesome straightline hull. No comments on the single motor one because I don't have it lol.

    I have a MG, Have a Apparition twin had a Genesis and will be getting the Aqua-cat when it comes out. With all the racing done on the aquacat and their is some video floating around of it running a some races as well their is no doubt this cat is going to be bad a$$ and with the $50 off discount from tower hobbies (if you are a member for $9.99) you can get under $300 and free shipping. The Miss Geico is the best handling of the Genesis and the Apparition

    No video of my Apparition yet but it's a straightline hull like the genesis
    MG
    Genesis

    I never thought of handling issues with the Genesis. I assume the handling issues stem from the length of the Genesis or is there another reason?

    I have both, a Genesis and a Geico(as you can see in my avatar) and can tell you that they should not be in the same list. The Geico will run circles, at WOT no less, around 75% of the boats on the market. If a racing boat is what your looking for get the Geico or wait for the Aquacraft Cat to be released and give that a try.

    I started off with the Apache 24 myself. Got me started with the addiction. It's handling is poor but all in all a fun little boat. Brushless is the way to go. You won't be disappointed with the Geico.

    As for mono's they are easier to handle and set up imho. As you grow into the sport the boats I mentioned are great RTR's and very reliable. Good luck!

    The other reason I want to get a cat, is because I am getting used to handling my Apache which is a cat. I know people have told me learning to drive a deep vee is easier, but why would I want to switch back after getting used to one type of hull.

    Maybe down the line I might get a Deep vee, just not right now.
