    Been thinking of getting an rc boat and was just checking this one out . Seen one guy say in one of the comments on another vid he has had one of these for a year and still no problems

    I like how it can flip upside down with no problems .

    Love R/C Airplanes/Cars since I was a Kid. Thirty Five years Later and I still get a big thrill from building a model RC Plane from a PLAN, from Balsa Wood, Wire, Electronics, I.C. Engines, glues and coverings, etc etc etc.

    The satisfaction from creating a working model from nothing, is immense.

    Sadly, Wimmin have no idea about accomplishment and satisfaction from past-times and hobbies/passions. So They shame us for being little children, without stopping to think about the process of building that Jumbo Jet that they fly on, to go on holiday.

    Guys, if you stay single, the plain FACT IS, that you’ll have so much spare cash, to indulge YOUR PASSIONS.
    I could NEVER AFFORD to indulge in my hobbies, because MY WAGES, were for HER, and HER HOME, that I paid the mortgage on. I would be shamed for purchasing ANYTHING for myself, (Even though I worked 60 hrs, per week). She would spend MY WAGES on pound shop crap, and endless clothes/shoes, for herself. Meanwhile, I owned one pair of work boots, one pair of trainers/sneakers, and one pair of smart shoes.

    Go for it Blade, but DO JOIN AN RC BOAT CLUB FIRST, if you can find a good club without too much internal politics, that is! There are guys there that know everything about your intended hobby, they will have other boats you can try first, and you’ll be able to race against other boaters. The also club MAY have some concessions with the local hobby store, should you have one near you, you might save a bit of cash.

    HAVE FUN WITH YOUR INTERESTS GUYS.

    I use to have n-scale trains but my hobbies changed to computers and building rigs for fun. I love some of the detail work this guy does. I check his site from time to time.

    Awesome boat. I have never seen one with enough torque to right itself. Also, never seen an electric move like that. In the 90’s I ran a RC boat with a motor that was designed for RC trucks. Pushed 33k rpms. These things must be running 50k. Never seen one move that fast. WOW They must be $1000.00 each.

    The difference between men and boys is the price of our toys.

    Thanks for the great video.

    I would go and look at where you’re intending to use one and see how calm the water is. They can’t be run on rough waters from my experience and it doesn’t take too much wind to make waves big enough to make it not great conditions for RC boats.

    SO go make sure you can find some calm water to use one on before dropping a bundle of money on one.

    RC boats are like RC cars. they’re two dimensional the new RC VTOL virtual reality pilot vision a 5 yo can fly! I’m oldschool nitro methane RC aircraft, heli too. Everything is going electric now, even turbo fan vs rotary compressor jet!

    Here’s mainly my favorites.

    Seamaster

    Polaris

    Extra 300-S, most demanding of anything, easy as f~~~ to stall, no such thing as a deadstick landing unless you dive in for a landing! It’s the easiest thing to do prop stands (a molested stall).

    Get something that flies with on-board flight stabilization computer, I purchased my first gyro stabilizer more than 20 years ago, things have become allot more sophisticated since then, the new quad copters are programmed to land where they started in case of transmitter failure, AMAZING! Virtual reality goggles too! ALSO AMAZING!

    heard in the guy say 180 dollars but on another clip the bloke says they are the cheapest best value been able to be bought of the net for 87 dollars .

    They can’t be run on rough waters from my experience and it doesn’t take too much wind to make waves big enough to make it not great conditions for RC boats.

    This one has a rubber seal where the top comes of that makes it water proof . Thats why i like it .
