Need to know your experiences of model building.

So as some of the lads that know these boats  can advise.

Not to much with boats but have been flying aircraft for 10 or so years  thought of having a dabble with boats. I quite like the perkasa but there are a few kits around and these mfa boats are up my street  (looks wise) any advise would be good thanks Neil

Hi I had an Avenger once very good in a chop dont use a mech speed controller or s.l.a battery far to heavy  :(( found that the 850 motor running on 14 cells with a 60amp e.s.c is o.k . But wont set the world on fire {:-{ A brushless 1500k.v on a gearbox or 60 i.c make her go as fast as she looks. these hulls can cope with quit a lot of power easy a very stable & dry running boat

The hulls on these boats are the same its just the deck that is different.

Thanks for that . I notice the prop and rudder layout too does this make any difference
