Thank you! very useful vidéo: I mod mine just as It arrived and use a 2S 1200mah. I had to add some weigh on the servo side in order to limit the difference but very efficient! thanks again!
I don't think you can get this battery anymore, I would recommend going with like a 650 milliamp or below 4 weight distribution on this boat, anything from gnb is a pretty good bet on Amazon I wish youtube would let me share links I would grab a couple for you. Emax, GNB, CNHL, all good battery brands.
Hey great post! Although the guys at the hobby shop near by told me the 21c TATTO 1000 battery you show in the video might burn or damage any component eventually. Also the factory charger for the battery will not charge the Tattoo 1000. I ended up buying another one like the factory one it comes with. Any tips in making it go a bit faster and lasting a little longer? Can you confirm if anything got damaged in yours after you installed the Tatto 1000? Thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching, I have more videos of this boat on my Channel please consider subscribing if you like my stuff oh, BTW I don't know where to get that battery anymore but if you just look at the measurements on about an eight hundred milliamp lipo and make sure it fits it should be good to go!
Hello, Did you have to change the plugs in order to use the new battery? If so, did you change the plugs on the boat, and all of the batteries? I am going to order the boat and the battery, but it they look like they have different plugs? Thank you
Yeah brother I did change the plug on the boat as well I swapped it over to an xt30 connector which is what I use and all my other smaller models so it is kind of a standard for me, I either run XT 30s or xt60 is on all of my models and batteries, I don't know if you're familiar with installing XT style connectors but they are very easy to solder compared to other styles of connectors, if you need any help let me know, I could bust out a quick video tutorial on installing xt30 if you need me to, also please subscribe if you haven't already and thanks for watching
Thanks for watching man, I would like to help you out with finding the battery but I can't even find them anymore, I would recommend probably about a 600 milliamp 2s pack
@@SteadfastRC I found these, does it look like these will work? ALSO, have you ever used anything bigger than the tattu 1000 mAh? I was reading the manual, and it says up to a 4000 mAh battery. I'm thinking, yeah...sure...the boat wouldn't even float, even if you COULD fit it in there. Anyway, here's the link to the batteries I found. I'm just thinking about buying this now, or, I would measure the inside myself. Thanks bro. Check out my channel if you're into rc rock crawling.

Did you leave the foam in place,my battery will be here tomorrow,& sunday I will be at the crick.I bought mine off ebay used,I have a new one on backorder.Has been fun.Hello from the northwest corner of orygun
Lots of the videos say it's lead but obviously these days no one puts lead in anything especially stuff for kids and these weights are clearly stamped with 5g and 10g and the elemental designation for steel. The weights are steel!
First off thank you for watching! All the electronics are stock and the battery is a 2s not 3s. I dont think you can find this exact battery anymore but a 2s 600-800 mah should work, just check the size first. Please stay tuned for more proboat action!
I was wondering can you tell me where you got your battery from? I got me a sprintjet too. Is that the biggest battery for running time that will fit in it
@@rafal630rr It depends on what you want , 1000 mah gives more runtime and a smaller lighter battery will give more speed, I like the balance between the two, somewhere around 450 to 650 mah.
It was a couple of years ago but I think they were just hot glued in or something, I don't remember them being hard to take out but if yours are you might want to warm them up with a heat gun or hair dryer or something just be careful not to melt any plastic
Hey bro I pick me up one too. But my blue. Where did you get that 3s lipo from? Keep a look out for my video I put lights on it with a separate battery and plug to charge it
It is actually a 2s lipo, I got it off of Amazon it is a tattoo brand 1000 milliamp 2s lipo, thanks for watching and please subscribe to my channel if you like my content
hey i had a question i was wondering if it takes in quite a bit of water? mine take in a lot and the motor actually rusted up did anyone else have that problem?
Sorry man I don't know where you get them anymore, I found this one off of Amazon and it was for a airsoft gun, I would recommend going with a 800 milliamp or so just make sure to measure before you buy one.
which battery did you end up getting? That boat is going to be awesome for your five year old! I have some more videos coming out on that boat pretty soon.
@@mitemluh you know that that's a two into one battery right? So you will have to put an additional balance lead on the other pack after you separate them, looks like it might be kind of complicated, let me know if you need any help
I have a upgraded drain plug for this boat here at my store www.ebay.com/str/predatorparts
@Slim Jesus Thanks for the support man, first thing I thought when I ran the boat was this thing needs a drain plug.
Thank you! very useful vidéo: I mod mine just as It arrived and use a 2S 1200mah. I had to add some weigh on the servo side in order to limit the difference but very efficient! thanks again!
Thank you so much for watching!
Shows pulling himself with a 9 inch boat love it
Thanks man, my vids can get weird sometimes lol!
Dude hauling yourself in the boat with the boat should be the advertisement for this from the factory great upgrades love it brother 😂🤣👍🏻🤘🏼😁✌🏻😜
Thanks bro glad you liked it, I just cant help the randomness lol!
You ever watch ichiban Moto?
Or old red green used to be funny. I just ordered one of these for me and my kid sucks the world went to shit
Rc boats are the best.
Thanks for sharing! I just got one, and searching for bigger/cheaper batteries than the stock dynamite branded pack. This is very helpful!

Bro that was epic man!! Who knew that little thing glad so much power haha good stuff bro 👊🏼😆👍🏼 💯
This is awesome! Please do an update if you upgrade anything else. Bigger motor soon??
Thank you for watching bro! If I do any more upgrades I will go brushless but for now I have been having a blast with it!
That is one strong boat there. Lol.😎 Nice video brother 😎 👍🏼 🤘🏻🦅🇺🇸
I just got one of these and thanks for heads up on the battery!Love the video👍

Hey man I purchased 1 bout 2 weeks ago and already wrecked it, have u just upgraded the battery? And everything stock?
Yes Everything else is stock
Can you post a link to the battery and also is that the stock esc and motor
What’s the biggest mAh have u used on the standard parts.?
400- 600 mah is the sweet spot for weight. Keep in mind more mah doesn't mean more power just more run time.
Good vid, I was surprised stock setup pulled you that easy, I have a brushless sys in my boat
You have this boat in brushless? I want to do that eventually, thanks for watching bro!
I have a few vids of mine on my channel.... th-cam.com/video/0gZ2ini-LOM/w-d-xo.html

I can confirm a deans t-plug male to ec3 female adapter will work with this battery for anyone that's curious.
ha ha amazing pulling power ! nice trick with the net! is it necessary to put a second skin under the body to withstand rock scratches?
I put the metal screen on bottom because small rocks were being sucked into the jet in shallow water
Awesome review, and useful info. I'd like to know the battery you're using too. And maybe where you found it? That'll save me hunting for it. Thanks.

yeah they are a blast, I didn't remove any foam, stay tuned I may do a brushless conversion!
I noticed on flea bay they have motors with pumps together
Do you know how long the run time is with the battery upgrade?
Probably 3-4 min more than stock
Lots of the videos say it's lead but obviously these days no one puts lead in anything especially stuff for kids and these weights are clearly stamped with 5g and 10g and the elemental designation for steel. The weights are steel!
Does that battery increase the speed at all Like enough to justify buying it
No actually not because of the extra weight.
Nice boat bud, did you upgrade the esc and motor?the lipo is 3s and its for airsoft battery? Thanks

@@SteadfastRC Many thanks, that makes sense :-)
@@rafal630rr happy to help
Where can I buy this? I want this boat but I want a good battery for it
I would recommend a 650 mah 2s lipo battery. GNB is a good brand. The battery I show in the video is discontinued.
Now i get mine last week ,and its so damned fun to run ! Ha ha!
Dose the bigger battery make it go faster? Or just longer run time
Just longer run time, it is still a 2-cell lipo battery therefore putting out the same voltage as the original, thank you for watching!
What wire plug?
Not quite sure what you mean but if you're asking about the battery connector I use xt30
How did you get the weights out
It was a couple of years ago but I think they were just hot glued in or something, I don't remember them being hard to take out but if yours are you might want to warm them up with a heat gun or hair dryer or something just be careful not to melt any plastic

@@SteadfastRC did you swap the connector bc I can only find that battery with the Mini Tamiya Connector
Where did you get the battery?
You cant get them anymore. I would recommend around a 650mah 2s battery now.
what plug did you changed...xt30?
Yep xt30 all day every day for my smaller models.
great update,i like like that little boat
Thanks a lot for watching and your constant support man I really appreciate it!
How long does it normally take to charge?
depends on the charge rate you use 20-40 min
Good shit!
Has anyone had servo issues? 3rd run and mine locked up. Any suggestions on a good replacement?
I did has servo issues too, it was locked up, I think it got wet, any of the buget micro servos on amazon shoul work
can you put th link for the upgrades
You can't buy that battery anymore but I put the link for my drain plug in the first pinned comment
Do you have a link on where to buy it?
Sorry not anymore, I found them on amazon but a 600-800 mah 2s lipo would be a better weight anyway.
hey i had a question i was wondering if it takes in quite a bit of water? mine take in a lot and the motor actually rusted up did anyone else have that problem?
Mine does take on some water, I wouldn't say a lot. I always drain mine the best I can and then store it with the canopy off to allow air circulation.
My boat has steel weights not lead,you may want to test yours with a magnet ... take care
interesting I will have to do that!
Can you use a 3s battery on this boat?
not as it is stock
We're do I get one of them batterys
Sorry man I don't know where you get them anymore, I found this one off of Amazon and it was for a airsoft gun, I would recommend going with a 800 milliamp or so just make sure to measure before you buy one.
And I’ll show you an example of that now.
Hahahahhahaha!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just ordered that battery, got this boat for my 5 year old for Christmas, thanks for the tip
