Just ordered mine!

We are trying to get a FE club started in my area, and I think this would be a great platform for a beginner's spec class.

Thanks for the tips GRIM!

hey Mike,i was at my local hobbyshop yesterday grabbing supplies.a retired gentleman came in after me and brought in one these he had bought the day before.he said he ran it once,some water got into the hull,and his ESC started smoking when he plugged the battery back in.he wasn't impressed.i told him to call Aquacraft to see what they would do for him.is there a warranty on the ESC's and such? just trying to help out a fellow who's new to the hobby.thanks.

I just saw that the price has dropped from $179 to $129, this is a lot of boat for $130! My birthday is coming in a couple months and this has become very tempting. I am having a blast with my revolt, and I keep thinking having a micro sized brushless woudl be a lot of fun to run while my revolt is charging.

Even though this has been out for awhile now, I haven't seen a lot of activity on the forums about it, has anyone been running it? What are your experiences?

this little hot rod is all PERFORMANCE.. make sure he TAPES the hatch when he runs it.. (dont want to get much water in the little dude).. Also make sure he stuffs the drive shaft full of grease.

In the manual is the contact info for Hobby Services.. have him call or email.. they will take care of him.

As a side note.... I was thinking of getting the aquacraft 2600kv motor (recommended upgrade) and adding the 60 amp esc (aquacraft) with 2 11.1v batteries (like the UL1) would you see any issues with doing that?

The GP1 motor controller will not work on 2S.. sorry.. Hope you orderd the right one.

The 2600KV motor is the one I like for the boat. Having said this the 60amp ESC will not fit in this boat and or any other combo or battery other then what it is designed for.
Keep us posted
