im after a rc boat something quick and cheap for pratting around let me know if you have anything?

Now theres an offer, but I don't have anything that I could let go for less than £300. Sorry dude, can't help on this occasion. If you see something tho, let me know, I may be able to say whether you paying a good price. :thumbs_up:

Nah, yu should be o.k. The preformed one's expect to be hammered. You will want to change out the motor straight away tho. More volts needed and maybe a bigger prop. I'm bring my brushless beast to the next bash so you can have alook at that. :thumbs_up: :thumbs_up:

ok cheers matt

was also considering this one

i got my eyes on this one...

Alan, if you want to do comparisons then just copy the name of the boat into u-tube. You'll see how they perform then. :thumbs_up:

Are we getting a little of the track?? :joker: :joker:

Thought this was a RC 'car/truck/buggy' racing forum!! :joker: :joker:

It'd be great to have a boat 'bash' though!! :thumbs_up:

me and matt found somewhere the other day we think we could get away with going to its about 20 mins from mine

Maybe I could bring these along?? :clap: :clap: :clap:

The yellow one is my 'El Lobo' hull, she's fitted with outrigger hardware, all alloy, and has a water cooled ESC that pics up from a scoup in the rudder. Powered by a Feigao 540XL brushless motor, this hull beat Ron Fuller in the 2005 world championships. That was on 7.4v but I'm about to run her with 14.8v lipo's, and with the newly installed berillium bronze sharpened prop it should fly!!!!

The second is my Riva Ariston. A static boat made of real mahogany, I had it converted to run with the same spec as the yellow one but it has 2 540XL brushless in it, each powered by 14.8v lipo's. Ridiculously quick, weighs nearly 12Kg and would cost about a grand to reproduce. :joker:

Hope you like! :thumbs_up:

its just perfect for boats and not bad either for the cars as there is a nice grass area and some picnic tables for setting up on
:thumbs_up:

Looks perfect. Have to be carefull in that area tho. Ain't it a conservation area?? :thumbs_up:

yeah but as long as we don't run nitro boats will be fine


also this time of year hardly any tourists about apart from odd hikers

Don't think they'd take kindly to 2-stroke monsters either ;)
