Greg, I have this boat in orange. It’s an awesome boat. I will tell you that I do leave the single nut/bolt slightly loose for the Rudder so it will break away(it works trust me lol) also, I find that I need to grease the flex cable every time after I run it because there’s some water in the tube. This also makes it ready for next time and prevent rust. Love your channel. It’s pretty much my favorite, I’ve really enjoyed your content since way back in the RCdriver days, and the RC boat magazine lol have a great evening
I gotta tell you, I abused the heck out of my old M41. I owned and ran it for years and only regreased the stuffing tube once! Broke a few props, actually never had an issue with the rudder but had to run through the precautions just in case in this video. But it puts up with a lot. Such a great boat. Glad to gear you enjoy it. Thanks for the long term support! Much appreciated!
I have lots of traxxas products I have the T-Maxx, XRT,Rustler,Hoss,Stampede, X-Maxx. But I think I'll get a Traxxas boat now. Looks very cool and lots of fun to use out in the water. Get out some ice cold beers, put on some good music and hang out at the lake or river and run the RC boat. Now that sounds like a great time there. Just might do that very very soon. Hey thanks for sharing. 🫵😎🥃🍻🔥💪
I have the same green m41, and its awesome. It my best boat for carving turns, keep it wide open. The only 2 downsides, are the plastic props will break eventually when it gets out of the water a few times (aluminum prop should be included for the price), and getting the batteries in is a knuckle skinner almost every time
Good stuff Greg! It's that time of the year....You know lately my back is starting to hurt from this boat hobby 😅....My mailman said his is starting to hurt as well.🤪 Have fun out there! 👊
Yup! Heading out on my buddies pontoon boat later this week for some RC boating and I think my back will be hurting too from lugging these things around. lol
Thank you for video. I have this boat same color , but i install small water pump for better cooling system , and upgrade cooling motor jacket also. Thank you.
@rcdriver I just got one bnb and it is the monster energy edition Edit* maybe you should do a short of you flying it to maybe get more people interested Maybe traxxas will reconsider the drone market and release a aton 2.0 Also I would love for them to bring back the dr 1s
I have the same two. They are great boats. They get even better when you put on a metal prop, and make a new harness with EC5 Connectors so you can use proper batteries with separate balance connectors. Traxxas batteries are over-priced, just average, and their connectors are terrible. Their chargers are no so great either. My M41's run longer, faster, and cooler with non-traxxas batteries with EC5 connectors. The plastic props are expensive, and constantly break with regular use. They do not need to hit anything.
I love everything radio control including boats like this, but actually driving them has so little appeal to me. That spot that you're in is really nice and quiet and peaceful so going round and round in circles Really quick just doesn't do it for me. Nice review though
I have this boat. Battery died in the middle of the pond.. I Swim out to get it and almost drown on the swim back in Literally had to use the boat buoy or I would of died.. please do not swim out for any rc boat have a recover boat or use a fishing pole..
I hope this turns better then my snap on spartan. Reverse and slow speed turning is terrible!! The shitty vxl system burnt up so i have the hw seaking in there. Alot better esc. The lid constantly comes off on a hard impact so strapped in pool noodles to keep it from sinking. All in all i think the spartan it a shitty boat and im glad i only paid 150 for mine. I hope this version is better because im not impressed
Noooo lol love your vis but proboats blackjack 24 is 10 times the build quality and on 4s 50 mph on gps and it walks away from my spartans and m41running on 6s enough i listed all 3 spartans and m41 all for sale under 200 each just to be rid of them
I simply enjoy all types of RC and brands. When I go out boating, I always take a minimum of 2 Traxxas Boats and 2 ProBoats. Sometimes I take a 5th like my Oxidean Marine Mini Dom or a Rage RC boat.

right on buddy i’m typically a little to over board (hahaha see what i did there) on maintenance myself. hahahaah 👊🏻
@@joshrcbros7287 Better safe than sorry... they are expensive toys we need to take a good care of them so they last longer
Use a “nylon bolt and nut” specifically designed to shear, good hobby shops carry them in various sizes

Can’t wait to hear what you think of the new Traxxas disruptor boat 🚤
Love your channel 👍😎
@@brianskitty3300 Looking forward to running it!

You should drop a seaking 180 and leopard 4092 2000kv in it, you wouldn’t believe how much better that boat is with better power
Man, that looks gorgeous. I'm not interested in boats myself, but I'll watch the footage.
I’ve never owned a boat. This looks quite fun and fast! Thanks for a great video once again.
pretty creative cooling system to ram the water in thought the rudder
Change the bottom rudder bracket bolt to a nylon one.
Y’all should see the real version of the M41 by the boat manufacturer DCB. The actual boat is capable of 140mph+
Tell traxxas to please bring back the aton drones!!
They were awesome!!
I know, still got mine even after getting some outrageous offers for it. But I think the drone segment might be a little too saturated for them.
@rcdriver I just got one bnb and it is the monster energy edition
Edit* maybe you should do a short of you flying it to maybe get more people interested
Maybe traxxas will reconsider the drone market and release a aton 2.0
Also I would love for them to bring back the dr 1s
The green n blue livery is very nice 👌

Is a self righting version coming?

Nice boat

Glad you’re ok, but yeah, retrieval boat, canoe or fishing pole are the best retrieval options.
Traxxas literally says do not swim out to get it if issues in directions. They also recommend some methods of retrieval. 🤷♂️
What’s the fastest RC boat out there?
That’s a good question. I don’t follow the RC boat world close enough to answer that one.
I hope this turns better then my snap on spartan. Reverse and slow speed turning is terrible!! The shitty vxl system burnt up so i have the hw seaking in there. Alot better esc.

Proboat 💯
mhmm. Proprietary batteries? Yeah, nah.
It needs figures inside the cockpit.

I want to see it run on 4S !
It's slower lol. He is running 6s in this video 😂
@@jeffbryner5355 ok lol
@@timmy4539 lol. Mine on 4s is fine and easier to drive but it is slower. 6s is way more fun haha
Wish they brought back the boats or drones
I think the drone world just got too saturated. I’d love to see the Villain come back as a big scale boat.
Smh. Traxxas fanboy 😉
Awww You’re just upset we’re not racing tonight.
@@rcdriver you just didn’t wanna lose 😎
Very nice
