Up goes the ante again. Congrats on a great run.Comment

Thanks Vinny! It's just a number and I'm sure it won't be the benchmark for long...but 80mph for a stock RTR boat still amazes me. Now I just got to see what the Blue and Yellow one can do.TFL Zonda (124mph), Miss Geico Zelos 36 (108mph), Veles 29 (91mph), Zelos Twin 36 (90mph), Miss Geico 29v3 (83.5mph), Sonicwake 36 V2 (83mph), Blackjack 42 (81mph), TFL Pursuit (79mph), UL-19 (75mph), Sonicwake 36 (73mph), Motley Crew (47.5mph), AquaCraft Rescue 17Comment

great job Mark I love that GPS !!!!Comment

Thanks Chris! Did you get the data log feature to work for you on the pc? That part is very useful and I've learned a lot about cycles batteries go through and when they peak during a run just by hovering the mouse over the trail where the boat has traveled. It has to be stellar for the cars your grandson runs as well.Originally posted by dasboata View PostTFL Zonda (124mph), Miss Geico Zelos 36 (108mph), Veles 29 (91mph), Zelos Twin 36 (90mph), Miss Geico 29v3 (83.5mph), Sonicwake 36 V2 (83mph), Blackjack 42 (81mph), TFL Pursuit (79mph), UL-19 (75mph), Sonicwake 36 (73mph), Motley Crew (47.5mph), AquaCraft Rescue 17Comment

As my name suggests I have a Veles 29 on order. First one came damaged so just waiting on a replacement. I ordered it from AMR Rc in Quebec https://amr-rc.com/en_ca/ I highly recommend them for their customer service. If your in Canada and looking for an RC I would give them a look. Free shipping over $79 in Canada, even the Veles 29.
The box looked ok when I got the package but there were several small cracks around the hatch opening.
MADRCER thanks for all the videos. They are great. They helped me choose this boat. I have also been added to the list for a Dashbota ABC prop :) Now back to waiting for the new boat to arrive.
Also wondering if there is still a drive shaft issue? Should I look at ordering an extra one from OFE? I see they have an upgrade in stock? After waiting for a second boat , the last thing I want is to wait longer because the shaft broke. I also don't want to spend extra money if its not needed. This is my first serious rc boat and with all the batteries and charger ect its getting expensive lol.Comment

Veles 29, Congrats on the boat! You're welcome and I'm glad you enjoy watching my videos! I do want you to know one thing up front. My boat is dialed in decent and you might see me making some laps and several wot passes in my videos with the "abc" prop on it, but I want you to know if you take yours out of the box and put the 'abc" prop on it and throw 6s at it your boat might last 5 minutes and the electronics will be burned up. First and foremost the "abc" prop can heat the electronics up quickly if you start running laps at wot and your boat isn't dialed in. This prop on 6s is for straight line runs ONLY (run a fast pass then run a couple slow passes then a fast pass). The dasboata 1716 prop works WELL on 5s also and the boat can do mid 60's running it with cool temps all day long (again...if you have your boat dialed in). As for the flex I wouldn't put a hard to get professionally prepped prop on the stock flex cable under no circumstances. My stock flex never broke but I didn't push it very hard either. But I've seen to many come apart at the crimp. I had some cables silver soldered up from a member on here and that's what I use in my Veles and UL-19. Take the time to learn your boat and how it handles and how it reacts to adjustments in different water conditions. Start out with lower voltage first such as 4s then move to 5s and then 6s (if you feel the need for speed). Do yourself a favor and buy you a temp gun and keep the temps under 140° and you should be ok. Good luck with it!TFL Zonda (124mph), Miss Geico Zelos 36 (108mph), Veles 29 (91mph), Zelos Twin 36 (90mph), Miss Geico 29v3 (83.5mph), Sonicwake 36 V2 (83mph), Blackjack 42 (81mph), TFL Pursuit (79mph), UL-19 (75mph), Sonicwake 36 (73mph), Motley Crew (47.5mph), AquaCraft Rescue 17Comment

I just want to start out thanking everyone for providing so much detail in their comments. I have read all 9 pages and found this thread when researching this boat purchase. I was ready to pull the trigger and buy the boat until I saw someone state that this is not a beginner boat. I have just moved to waterfront property and will be buying a boat. I am 46 years old and hate buy something and quickly want something bigger and better. I tend to buy more advanced than my abilities and take it very slow and easy. Is there no way a newbie can learn on this boat? I was first going to buy the Spartan or M41 until I found this boat. I really really don't want to buy a starter boat if I can help it. Any advice would be great......
Snarky comments also accepted.Comment

This boat hands down over the plastic Traxxas boats and Yes, even for a Newbie. This boat requires the maintenance of every other boat on the market. Just run the boat on 4s stock out of the box and then as you progress and learn to adjust the boat then go up in cells and props. Good luck with whatever you decide on.Originally posted by jlwardn View PostTFL Zonda (124mph), Miss Geico Zelos 36 (108mph), Veles 29 (91mph), Zelos Twin 36 (90mph), Miss Geico 29v3 (83.5mph), Sonicwake 36 V2 (83mph), Blackjack 42 (81mph), TFL Pursuit (79mph), UL-19 (75mph), Sonicwake 36 (73mph), Motley Crew (47.5mph), AquaCraft Rescue 17Comment

Thank you for your input. For the money I feel this is a better boat. Local hobby shop wanted to sell me 3S batteries and only Dynamite Reaction. Were they wrong. Do they make a 4S or is that why he was pointing me to their 3S. I do plan on running it stock. Seems more than fast enough for my needs.........for a while.Comment

Had a rainy weekend so figured I'de take out the veles for it's second run. Went about 20 feet ,punched it and the shaft broke. Guess I'll call Monday. Sucks the prop goes with it.
Happens. Had the boat for a few months. Ran one set of batteries then winter hit and it sat.
Now I'm going nuts I wanna see this thing go lolComment
