I bought one of these recently after watching this video series - worth mentioning to new watchers that the boat now comes with 2.4GHz and digital-proportional drive; but still no reverse so I'm still converting it as per the second video. Thanks for doing this videos - I really learnt a lot. :)
Thank you. This is why I do the videos. With the reverse be very careful to tighten the props and not go too fast in reverse - as the props and retaining nuts will come off, never to be seen again (and they are not easy to replace)! 😀👍
@@RCModders I've born that in mind... but have found that reverse is pretty rubbish anyway, and as it turns on a dime it's not worth the trouble. :) End goal for this boat is to fit a WiFi camera and use it as an underwater survey boat.
I got a free american express promotional version of this boat missing the remote. I have a good waterproof radio, the rest of the upgrades are just what I was looking for!😉👍 Cant beat a free RC!
I just ordered one should have it in a month or so with the carona virus and nothing shipping right now ebay estimated 4 weeks, thanks for sharing needed upgrades I live in Portland Oregon lots of waterways I have a axial scx10 ii 69' chevy blazer I fabricated a drop hitch and am building a boat trailer rather than buying one for $200 rc's are a great hobby
Not.... Looks like a Walmart boat... At least the Walmart boats come with a lipo battery... Not a battery from 1970 LOL.. one19 70 brushed motor.. it comes with spare props..lmao.. because that 1970s brushed motor . Will break the blads right off the propeller...ha..!!
