First of all let me say that this boat is a LOT of fun, Easy to Setup, Easy to Learn On, And LOTS OF SPEED!!


After breaking in the engine on my 4th tank of fuel I was doing over 40MPH Not bad!!!


Well NOW the bad news....After running the boat the first day, you should be prepared to have the servos replaced, both of mine died on the first day while breaking the motor in, lucky for me I was in a small shallow pond with grassy banks, Secondly after getting it running be prepared to have several what I would call design flaws, the universal joint system which attaches the fly wheel to the shaft...IS NOT THAT UNIVERSAL....Mine has been eaten away to the point where the boat can no longer run....THESE ARE NOT TO BE FOUND....I have even contacted the manufacture without any response, even the sellers do NOT carry replacement parts, which after 6 to 10 tanks of fuel, your boat too will become a plastic dust collector.


Not to mention that the last day I used this boat the lake was dead calm and I can only assume that the vibration from the motor caused the screw holding the motor to the mount vibrated through the hull leaving a perfect circle in the bottom of my boat allowing water into the hull….NOT GOOD!!!


The only parts available to purchase are the Motor, Motor mounts, Rudder System....None of the drive shaft parts which take most of the beaten, my boat also is in need of the dog socket which attaches the prop shaft to the drive shaft this too is eaten away to the point where there is no metal left...


I have been to several hobby shops looking for a suitable replacement....so far no luck....


But RC boating is so fun I decided to Purchase a NEW RC BOAT with a BRAND NAME that parts can be picked up from any local Hobby Store.


I hope this will help you guys with any questions that you may have!!


And for those who has one of these boats and would like to sell it for parts drop me an email
