that thing is insane

[Scottydoggs]

its also over 2 grand.

[Matt Palm]

then they can keep it

[Scottydoggs]

yeah pricey but like anything your getting what you paid for. best sounding engine out there in my book. you can get really out of control with up graded parts for them too.

[Matt Palm]

It was the slipped clutch thanks scott for the help

[Neil98gt]

Man those things sound like a dying cat... sheesh

[Matt Palm]

so I got it running again the slipper clutch wasnt tight enough. also found out there is a mode on my esc for lipo batteries. might just buy lipos now because the stock ones arent cutting it getting about 10-15 min run time.

made a couple more videos of it in water unfortunately it was going dead during them

[PurpleGuy]

Oh yea they're big...but be warned it gets expensive fast.

EDIT: I should order a motor now that I have the money for one lol

[ItHurtz]

dirt be a man and get the 1/4 scale gas buggies I think they are 900-1200$ hahaha.

my boats finally comming together. got new battery holder for transmitter, receiver battery holder, 2 new 4200mah 9.6v. Think I just need to epoxy the rudder holder and just perhaps maybe in the water next weekend..... to have it break and drive away!

[Matt Palm]

Motors still destroyed saving up for brushless

[PurpleGuy]

[PurpleGuy]

I could do that. I honestly buy lots of parts of Amazon. I get the part numbers from Traxxas or Tower Hobbies and buy off Amazon cause Traxxas and Tower Hobbies are too expensive.

But Tower Hobbies is probably the best known RC store.
