Redback Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 whats the budget and were do you plan to run it? For the canals / small streams etc me and the lad like the little cheap ftx vortex, runs decent enough for brushed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nitroholic Posted May 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 6, 2022 Well obviously you would be stupid to buy a boat ..... you buy TWO boats to be sensible. Then...when the first boat capsizes or breaks down in the middle of hte pond...the second boat goes out to recover it. Now, the second boat MIGHT also run into difficulties...so a third boat is a sensbile precaution. And a hovercrafgt 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worth going brushless tho imo and there is a new one out i think thats brushless might be worth a look. Only issue i found with it being small and light, is sticks on the banks or a little reed in the water can get it stuck, needs a bit more power.

In that case boats are bad, because water is wet and full of nasty duck poop and sewage, an RC motorbike or plane would make your wife happy guaranteed* *if she doesnt know about it. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell horn. Posted May 8, 2022 Share Posted May 8, 2022 Well we all say go get a boat. So Don't let anything tell you otherwise. They are brilliant fun. Why not get a submarine too. And What about a hovercraft. Then what about a plane and helicopter too. Might as well get the full set. Save time later. Definitely worth it. Trust me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stormbringer Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 When you do convert to brushless make sure the coupling is up to the job as it will be taking more stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
