Seen one run on 7 x 2/3A cells......not impressed. However, on an 11.1v Li-po pack it is sensational if not a tad overpowered and difficult to control. (Maybe that was the driver/pilot!!)

Cheers,

Ian.

Laugh or not, this is an almost RTR boat that is built in the US and produced commercially. (See Rob's link previuosly posted) Way overpriced IMHO but then some folks have that sort of money to spend on a whim. (Me not included!) A self built standard rigger from ply etc will do just the same speed given the same power plant, maybe not as 'futuristic'  looking but still an adrenaline rush to drive.
