Got one of my boats back together. If anyone is interested I will be taking it out to a creek down the street from me tomorrow around noon.

At the very least we have some awesome A.D.D.

Boat was a blast yesterday. I wish I brought more batteries. I burned through two 2200mah 3 cells. I will probably take it out again tomorrow if anyone is interested.

Five more 2200mah 3 cell packs through the boat today. These things are tons of fun and the best part is I have the stock jet drive tuned to be reliable. So far anyway. Not a single issue and she is water tight. Probably take it out again tomorrow and burn a couple more packs.

I have a hull I would get rid of, but no jet drive for it. They are really fun. I think the turn off for everyone is they are pretty precise, if they are not set up exactly right they rip themselves apart. They are incredibly simple though and once setup correctly are pretty tough.

Oh yeah the boats are. I thought you were talking about the parts I posted up. I saw a couple boats on ebay the other day, might want to try there.

22 batteries through the boat. Only damage has been a stripped crappy servo (from jumping rocks) and a munched prop (from not running a grate and running in 1/2" of water with small rocks and sand in it). Love these things. So much in fact I now have 4 of them. Im thinking one needs a really big jet drive.


Oh in stock here Juan
