Might have to use some CF L&R to get started. These look pretty hard so I am gueesing they will flex some. Good looking little props.

Just grabbed my work Mino HD and will try to get some video.

Since mine won't arrive for a couple of hours, can you tell me the measurments of the battery box?

I have to agree. Way too much for me...

I wish that UPS guy would get here...

Bob, I am back at work so not in front of me. I will know later but looks like lipos of many sizes will work.

Thanks!

Wanted to get a head start on ordering batteries...

look at the new 40c packs at hobby city, probably want about a 3-4000 4s per side- im thinking 2 5000 4s's will be too heavy for the boat- but i could be wrong.

I think I want to start with 3s to see how she handles. I can always series up my 6500 2s that I use in the UL-1 (stack um). I have 4 of those.

Any suggestions on 3s packs?

On the Venom web site they show the 5400 3s packs in the boat. Their total weight for both is 998 grams.

4 of my 6500's have a total weight of 1308 grams. Not sure if that is too much or not. Hopefully it can handle an additional 300 grams.

I still plan on starting with 3s though.

Possibly more stable at speed..

It finally arrived. This boat looks very nice! Fit and finish are extremely well done.

The battery area is somewhat limited in height. The dimensions for the battery locations are (ea.): 6" long, 2 1/2" wide (to against the motor), 1 3/8" high (to the bottom of the hatch). Using my 4 6500 2s packs is out of the question.

They have incorporated the use of chokes in the ESC wires to the receiver. This is something I have wondered about, but not seen before (in rc), but again I am new to this sport.

Nice water exit holes on the sides via polished aluminum fittings.

Now back to putting it together...

Looks awesome! I don't think i'd run 4s on those motors anyhow. Too high kv.

Thank you for the pics, looks awesome!
