With the invent of modern construstion methods some of RTR fast electrics like the aquacraft supervee 27 are faster and more relable than the FE models that people have designed and construsted theirself.

Saw one of these down the lake the other day when sailing my club 500. While the hull screams speed it was to say politely not very good. It runs two 380 motors and I was running laps around it in the 500. Can anyone suggest a upgrade.



You can buy them from

Great minds n all lol

Looks like you need more weight in the ass, the sponsons are dragin to much in the water and not lettin air in the tunnel  :D all most looks like she trys at one or two point in the vid, move the batt to totally the back and try her again, once you get the air flow in the tunnel the ass with lift, also head into the wind lol will help  O0

Im more use to real race boats lol  O0

For the difference of $200, I think it would not be to hard to improve the NQD hydro to the standard of the Proboat as long as the hull is sound.
