Great choice on that color! Its beautiful! Trim it up slightly and it'll stop bouncing. It's pushing the nose down in the Vid & it floats up & repeats. Causes the bounce. Octura m445 prop! Buy it!
RC Boats are sweet, aint they? I have 3 Proboats myself. 1 of which is also discontinued. I was lucky enough to have picked up 2 (gave one to my brother) before they got discontinued. The Proboat Zelos Twin. I was going to get the Sonicwake but HH had a good sale going on for the Recoil 2 so i picked that up instead. The 3rd is the micro Sprint Jet jetboat that i use in the creek behind my house. The creek is pretty big but not big enough for the Recoil or the Zelos. Those 2 i use on a shallow river near my place (the youghiogheny river). The Monongahela river is closer but has too much commercial barge traffic and is very dangerous if i have to swim out to retrieve my boat for some random reason. Proboat does make some very good products and i like all 3 of mine.
Dude!! The Zelos Twin rips, seen a few videos, super fast! Yeah, the Recoil 2 looks rlly cool, my dad just bought the Heatwave one actually hahaha. I definitely would love to pick up a jet boat soon and do a video on it. Yeah I will continue be scared of boats that don't have self-righting feature until I can afford a kayak or an rc recovery boat lol
@@jonnyshobbies I believe the only company that makes a jetboat now is Streamline RC and the boat is called the Thrasher. It is very expensive even compared to any of Proboats lineup. The Sprint Jet is cool too. Dont let its little 9" length fool you, it is pretty quick for such a small motor. The battery is about the size of a pack of bubblegum but lasts surprisingly longer than youd think. Now i'm not saying the runtime is hours, its really between 10 to 15 minutes but i have gotten 20 minutes using low throttle. If you have a pool, or a small place to run them, i would say check it out.
Dude I wish! I've had a couple different ones that I've crashed hahaha! Been looking into some cheap entry level ones again though so eventually I will. For now I will stick with land lol
I have this V1 and you should have got the v2 black and red one and got the green sticker kit. V2 hands down better. My friend has one. Built stronger. Better stinger way better 40 series size motor. New servo location so you can get any servo you want. The list goes on lol. I like my V1 but now only thing stock is the hull.
Bro you’re gonna love this boat and it’s big enough to make custom parts for it because it’s discontinued not saying you can’t buy parts still but it’s a blast to customize your own vehicles and no worries I’ve done the same my wife tells me I can’t buy something then i buy it anyways I spent 3500 on the new tlr 8ight x 2.0 she hasn’t talked to me for the past week but who cares
Yeah I'm super excited to see what I can get done with it. I think I'm good on speed hahaha but I could def use a transmitter/receiver upgrade along with some components for better handling. Yeah I think my wife would discard me if I did that 🤣🤣🤣
@@jonnyshobbies i feel you man that’s what I did with mine I got a new transmitter with some better battery’s and a better charger and a high torque servo and it runs great
You're right about that color scheme that does look sharp indeed, mothers are awesome!! Very cool
Good video my brother. I love that us men have our Wife’s and Mommy’s support our Hobbies/Money Pits lol😂. Shot out to you from Coconut Creek, FL.

Great boat, mate!!! I wish v2 in the same skin green.... Loved 👏👍🥂🍻👍
Welcome to the deep rabbit hole of tc boating. Good video look forward to more videos

Can you test the cheap wl916 that thing is fast to
I'll def add this to the list for future videos! Thanks!
Man, I’m the only one without a boat now. I’ve gotta catch up…
Do it bro! They're so much fun, even if you start out with a cheap 12" from amazon, that's how I started.
@@jonnyshobbies Say less.
