Length:: 1:58 Mins

this is nearly hobby grade in detail needs at mimimum a 3000 ma nmhi battery. gold tamiya connectors or deans or gold pins connectors for battery would be higly recommended. drill 1/8 hole to drain water under the small deck protrusion center of stern to extract water quickly. install foam floation in front of boat balances the hull out nicely.Also recommend adding trim tabs . Decals arevery good but some really are toy like in appearance . Pealed those off with WD 40 and sharp knife Need a way to lube the drive shafts before and after each run. Suggest lube tube soldered on and clear drilled about 1 inch from motor end of drive shaft. really runs well for such a large boat with toy grade motors. Should really fly with brushless conversion. :)

Got this as a birthday present for a kid. It is huge! Way more substantial and hardy than I thought. Battery only lasts 15 min but I have a quick charge power station from radio shack that is fits into so we can charge it in 15 min instead of the 6 hours it say it takes. It rips in the water. Totally worth $50.

I got this along with a 23" Balaenoptera Musculus from Amazon too see which would be a better choice in mid class RC I have seen quite a few and own 24 boats from Walmart too Race class and Enthusiast. This boat did well against the Blaenoptera as it sank the third time out. It is pretty big but not has heavy as most bigger boats. The reason being it is made from thinner plastic much like packaging you see for your camera battery or the ridiculous stuff you need scissors to open. It plains well and handled great but it did arrive broke as the power wire was broke from the circuit board. But I soldered it back fairly easily. It turns very fast and surprised my wife with speed. It's a nice midgrade RC worth the f50ty d0ll$r price tag. Just be prepared to resolder some connections.
