Gavin3171 Posted July 25, 2012 Author Share Posted July 25, 2012 It does look good but at the same time it looks a bit unstable at higher speed . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richarddenton1982 Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 When its full throttle it sits a bit lower and more stable. Id add some ballast to the front and it would sit nicely i think. Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin3171 Posted July 30, 2012 Author Share Posted July 30, 2012 (edited) After Selling a few bits and breaking up my drifter i decided to bite the bullet and order one - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewitem.asp?idproduct=25898&aff=612345 Ordered thursday from the UK warehouse and paid for 48 hour delivery. It arrived today......... SOoooooo lets see some pics It comes in a big box and has plenty of protection all around the smaller box inside inside the smaller box is ANOTHER box Well supported in the box Change the connectors over from deans to xt60's and the beast that will be running it My initial views on the product/service from UK hobbyking; 10/10 for packaging 8/10 for delivery service: they still provided up to date tracking information but dont work weekends 9.5/10 for the boat: could have a little more room inside to fit the battery. Initially i took the screws out of the motor and thread locked them, and the grub screws off the shaft came off to be thread locked too. The balloon provided seals up the flysky receiver and then its secured under Velcro. Comes with a spare prop too which i think is very good as i was going to buy a spare anyway. It can handle 3s and the 2200mah nano tec fits in very tightly, so ive ordered two 1800mah zippy packs that were slightly smaller. The plastic sheet that makes it water tight is a tad too small but they do provide PVC tape to seal it all up with. Build quality is very good and the hull is very solid, the stickers were a bit on the wonk but im going to remove them anyway. Now i just need to test it! CANT WAIT!
